Yep, that's the way to go.
Make sure you remove any remaining thin or pitted metal around the holes either by drilling them out bigger or filing them out.
If you clean the metal back around the hole to bare metal on the inside too, it will stop any reactions with the welding (spitting and splattering etc)
It's also easier to back your hole with a piece of copper (an old bit of copper pipe cleaned up and hammered flat is fine) as this will spread the heat and give you something to lay your weld against without blowing more holes.
Good luck

Remember to wear a good thick welding glove to hold that bit of copper!!
