Wok

[BURTON John]

I haven't heard wok pain but wok painimaut is hard at work for sure. For
example, at mining EL (Exploration Licence) hearings wok painimaut  means
geological exploration and is heavily emphasised to distinguish it from wok
maining which is when the money is on (or so it is anticipated).
 
Any kind of research or detection is wok painimaut.
 
John Burton

Another word (noun combo) I've heard a lot in NI missing on the "wok/wokim"
entry is wok pain or wok painim (I think I've heard wok painimaut too),
meaning analysis or investigation/research.
e.g. "... bai i wokim dispela wok painim we i gat gold..."
or  "....kam bek long Tanga na wokim moa wokpain long ol samting blong
graun...".
Is this common?
