Abstract: In one aspect, a system (5) for use in providing an approximation or estimation of a characteristic (for example, a bulk density value) of a deposit subject to a drilling operation is disclosed. In one form, the system (5) comprises a processor module (25) arranged in operable association with a network of sensors (30) operable for measuring one or more parameters relating to the operation of the drilling assembly (10). The processor module (25) is configured operable for receiving data/information derived from the network of sensors (30), and processing the data/information so as to provide a representation of the incursion (eg. depth of penetration into the relevant deposit) achieved by way of the drilling assembly (10).
