First real change in lithology in several weeks

2025-06-07
Current drilling depth: 1619.4 m We’ve finally intersected thin stringers of norite and feldspathic pyroxenites, our first real change in lithology in several weeks! The proportion of olivine has also increased from <1% to just under 10%, marking a notable shift in the mineralogy. This marks an exciting turning point in the core, and it's going to be very interesting to see what comes next as we continue drilling deeper.
