I thank the member for some notice of this question. The $21 million government co-funded exploration drilling program is a component of the five-year $80 million exploration incentive scheme. In 2009-10 approximately $3.2 million was available for distribution. (1) A total of 168 applications were received during the application period. (2) One hundred and thirty-three applications were not granted funding. Applications were ranked based on an independent assessment of their potential to target a resource. The available funding was distributed to the top 35 applicants based on the merit of the application. (3) Thirty-five applicants were successful. These applications were ranked most highly as a result of the independent assessment of the applications. (4) I table the list of successful applicants, listed in alphabetical order. (5) Applications were open between 8 April and 15 May 2009. [See paper 1439.]
