Currie Rose Resources begins drilling for Gold on the road up to Milky Way bike trail.

Hope we don't get an open pit mine on the edge of Happy Valley.

Could anyone with industry experience comment on what sorts of activities we might expect to see during exploration (and development if it moves ahead)? 

Is it possible to judge the likelihood of development?

Any concerns?

Exploration drilling is relatively low impact, compared to, say, logging. One drill is not a very large program, so we'll see some access roads and a few drill sites; basically some 4x4 roads with cul-de-sacs. Reclamation (decommissioning roads, recontouring, revegetation) is required within a year or two. 

There are a lot of steps and contingencies between exploration and development; it's generally years before that can be assessed. There are at least hundreds or maybe thousands of times as many exploration projects as development projects so I wouldn't get too excited just yet.
