Mountainous terrain demands that helicopter support be used continuously on the Colima project. Initially
a Bell 205 was used to provide drill relocation service and crew deployment. Here, the Bell 205 is assisting
in relocating a drill to a new location prior to drilling a new hole. Due to very high core production rates
and shallow hole depths each drill has to be moved to a new location every two or three days. This places a
high demand on the pad building and site provisioning crews. The Bell 205 will be replaced with a
more suitable Aerospatiale Llama in November 2008
