The drill can be set up in a cleared, level space of 4m by 4m or less, or on scaffolding, if needed. Since drill moves can be manually carried out, no roads need to be constructed. The entire footprint of pads and impact on roads are extremely limited, aiding in permitting and subsequent land reclamation. Using local labour provides employment, which in turn generates a positive response in the community. The drills are quiet, a critical factor when drilling night shifts in populated areas. As a testament to our approach, one of Kluane's drill programs was chosen as a case study by Canada's E3 Environmental Excellence in Exploration Initiative. In addition, Kluane won the Mining Magazine award in the category “Exploration – Capital Equipment” for its Series III rig.
