	Description:		'The best news we've had in 10 years' - families of the Pike River miners surprised but happy to hear police will restart bore drilling at the mine. Police ended their bore drilling operation in March, it revealed the human remains of eight miners. Over the last four months, police have been reviewing that evidence and are going back to drill ten new boreholes to help work out if criminal charges can be laid. The families have waited nearly 12 long years for information on what happened and police acknowledge this may prolong that wait but say it is a commitment to getting them the answers they want.
