from the Beaverhill Lake play (for which a discovery record is available) are used to illustrate the resource evaluation procedure. In
Chapter 5, a frontier play is used to illustrate the conceptual play
evaluation procedure.
Chapter 6 contains the information and procedures needed to undertake an assessment, including the interaction between the assessors
and the system, and the feedback mechanisms required. In Chapter 7,
