Shift in lithology - 30% modal abundance of olivine

2025-07-15
Just one day after reaching our 1800 m milestone we've seen a jump in olivine modal abundance from 1% to ~30%. A game-changing shift from pure orthopyroxenite to olivine orthopyroxenite! After drilling through 500 meters of orthopyroxenite, this is the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for, and we can almost smell the harzburgite and dunite coming! Lower Zone... show us what you got!
