pipe recovery, page-9

There has actually been no inconsistency in the amount of pipe inthe hole that has been reported.

29th November 1500 foot pipe stuck

5th Dec - reported 1000 foot stuck at recovery up to 400 foot per day (IE they had recovered 500 of the 1500 foot that was stuck, one day they jagged a 400 foot segment)

11th, 18th Dec - no progress still 1000 foto stuck waiting for heavy mill bit

2 Jan amount not stated "up to 50 fot per day" - likely only recovered 50 foot and 950 remaining

10 Jan -reported a total of 804 foot recovered, 742 foot left (this is of the total 1500 foot to make it sound better than "we have only recovered 300 foot since 5 Dec"

30 Jan - another 246 foot recovered (496 foot left), now milling

7 Feb - another 195 foot recovered, (301 foot left)

?Now - maybe 250 foot left at current rates.

No deceit in the reports, just not spelling things out as clearly as they could have!

Will see a steady rise next week (if no bad news) aiming for recovery complete over next weekend. maybe 80-90c by next firday.

7 Feb

30 Jan - now 500 foot left
