Drilling through the cemented section
Cements out of the drill hole, barrels into the drill hole

2025-04-01
Current depth: 1433.2 m. We’re kicking things off strong with the removal and clearing of the cement placed before the drillers' break. We’re still in the process of loading the barrels into the hole, setting up for the next phase as we prepare to drill lithologies from the Bushveld Complex again. We’re excited to see what new rocks will emerge as we get closer to intercepting the lower levels of the Lower Zone. Let’s keep the energy high, stay focused, and push forward, we’ve got this!
