Important notes

  • When submitting exploration or expenditure reports, do not use single or double quotation marks, forward or backward slashes, apostrophes and other special characters or symbols for any field, otherwise the data will not be saved in the current application.
  • When submitting expenditure reports there is a string length limitation up to 10 characters for the Estimated Expenditure field. It is suggested to avoid using "$", commas, extra spaces and round to the nearest dollar value.
  • EROL will only accept the non-proprietary file formats of PDF, JPEG, TIFF and ASCII (including files such as TXT, DAT, CSV, LAS). LAS, DAT and CSV files need to be zipped before submission.
  • Uploaded file size is limited to 28mb. Note the system will default back to its home page if the file size is exceeded, with no warning message given.
  • Files that exceed 28mb can be listed and described by using the Offline feature and then sent to the department by CD or DVD.
