Rio Tinto has said it will reimburse the government for the cost of the search "if asked".

 I guess they could just give the government all the 10-cent coins they found along the way.

 Which side of the hole was the nut?

By way of clarification of my previous post, the reason Rio Tinto spoke about being asked was that they said they'd pay in answer to a journalist's question as to whether it would.  The spokesman answered (along the lines of) "yes, if that's what the government wants". 

I wish they'd report these things accurately.

Apparently, they've tested the location it was found in and it's all ok there.
