A permittee of an exploration permit has died due to excessive farting, now his heirs claim that they have the right to enter, occupy, and explore the area. Does the heir have legal rights to do such?

A diorite was found to be a source rock for a petroleum resource. When the junior geologist told this to his supervising geologist, the supervisor slapped him. Why is that?
Only sedimentary rocks are capable of being a source rock
What kind of alteration happens at a deep depth such that it occurs near the multiphase porphyry stock in porphyry copper deposits?
Potassic Alteration
A positive anomaly was detected at a granodiorite intrusion in Barangay Larap, Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte. Which is the best geophysical method to have detected this anomaly?
Radiometric Method
An ore was extracted and the geochemists wanted to map the distribution of tantalum in the minerals of the ore. Which particular analytical technique would you use for quantitative mapping?
Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA)
A contractor in a mineral agreement has failed to pay his taxes and fees due the Government for 1 year. He paid the said taxes and fees which the government used for Zaldy Co's sports car. The authority then cancelled his mineral agreement due to consecutive nonpayment. Can the contractor appeal the cancellation?
YES, because the ground for cancellation of permit due to nonpayment is only for two consecutive years of nonpayment
A geothermal system is ideal if it has an impermeable reservoir rock, heat source, impermeable cap rock, fluid recharge, and permeability via faults. What is wrong with this sentence?
Reservoir rocks should be permeable
What type of volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) is bimodal felsic, occurs in continental margins and is hosted in felsic volcanics with turbidites?

80-160 MPa
Which phenomenon shows that the variogram values remain constant at maximum value for all separation values which happens when there is no correlation between distance and differences
Nugget Effect
A sanitary landfill plan shows that the structure would be built fifty kilometer away from a Holocene Fault. It also shows that the area, during typhoon season, has an estimated precipitation level of 50mm per day. As a geologist, will you approve this plan?
Yes, since the area only needs to be 500m away from active faults and the conditional requirement for rainfall needs to not exceed 300m per day
