Just want to finish the initial thought, regarding the heat anomaly.

Following up our discussion on the GDY thread, Nightspore, it is highly unlikely that the heat exchanger GRK is targeting will produce radioactive fluid, despite the geological conditions.

I don't know if anyone was wondering about this, as GRK are in an area of know uranium mineralisation. The concentrated deposits are far more likely to occur elsewhere - for example, as roll-front deposits in the overlying sediments. The granite itself does not contain the concentrations necessary for contamination of the geofluid (with the U content of granite being around 10ppm).

Once flow is established on HAB3, GRK will be sitting on a far more bankable concept (the word resource will not be accurate until the geology is defined at depth). This current SP stagnation cannot be sustained in a country that is thirsty for renewable energy and increasingly aware of emissions.

Geothermal and nuclear remain the only base-load power solutions. Nuclear costs $50/MWh. A high quality geothermal operation costs $45/MWh.
