This is what you're calling drill holes? Yeah, I can sorta see why you would say that - flying over parts of Oklahoma or Texas, this is a little bit like what you see in areas that are heavily drilled for oil/gas. But no, I don't think they are drill holes. The little path leading to each one appears to be from animals (goats/cows?), not nearly wide enough for a drill rig. Not sure what they are, but doubt they're drill holes. Somethin ag related.
On another note, I measured the distance from the supposed processing plant into town, then up the windy road south of town to the "ore" piles. It is more than AABB has said (almost six miles if I recall). Looks more like 6 miles just into town on the main road, then over a mile up a mountain trail, with switchbacks and steep grades. A lot of road building will have to be done if they were ever to go up that road with anything more than a 4WD pickup or ATV. Good luck in the rainy season.
But, this is kind of a silly exercise....none of this is real. The "ore" processing plant is probably in support of some local ag product.....packing plant, warehouse, something of that nature. The ore piles are not ore (where's the feasibility study?), and the company has never said they finalized the deal with the owner.....isn't that important enough to announce? Why build a plant, with no deal done for the piles or rock on the mountainside?
