How to read this

Drilling and seismic survey are core operating activities for the company, which provides planning and design support to the coal sector. The figures describe how much physical work has been done against internal targets at the half-year mark: the departmental and seismic programmes are ahead of target, outsourced drilling is marginally below its target, and the overall drilling number is above target. This is an operational status report on the work programme, not a statement of financial performance.
