The program is 5,000m of RC drilling / 50 holes, so the average hole depth will be 100m.
A decent RC rig, with plenty of auxiliary air, working the usual 12h shifts should complete at least 2 of those holes a shift, so 3 days in now they should have completed at least 6 holes.
Presumably they have started on the best Thylacine targets first, so they should be seeing some decent visual intersections of quartz-sulphide veining by now in that dolerite/g-abbro country rock.
The visuals will tell them quite a lot, even without the assay results: % vein to country rock, vein thickness, % sulphides in the fresh quartz veins, and free gold panned from the fine samples, etc.?
Exciting week ahead!
(What has this platform got against the common geological rock name **bro? It is the host rock to half the gold deposits in the eastern goldfields, including on the Golden Mile!)
