Ann: RC Drilling to Commence, page-5

Caledan, the time frame for drillholes is entirely dependant on the lithologic stratigraphy (rock types). An efficient RC rig and good driller can punch out more than 200m in a day in ground that is relatively soft. Thinking of potential stratigraphy for these holes I would guess 2-4. However, as with all things, things do not always go as planned. Breakdowns, broken rods, bit changes or indurated bands (hard rock) can slow drilling down. Rule of thumb for exploration drilling is it takes whatever it takes. Given MRD's drilling history we can pray for a hole completed to intended depth that intersects the intended target. GLSH
