Craig Feibel, Kat Beck and Rich Szenmiklosi contemplating new core at the drill site Turkana!

Things are moving ahead at the drill site. I'm back in the US now and Tom Johnson and Dan Olago left Kaitio on the 28th. I heard from Chris a short while ago. They were wrapping up for the day (9PM) with about 27m of core collected in 10 hours after a few days of casing problems and little drilling progress. Currently we are at 187m, so slightly over half the target depth. DPI plans to thicken the mud tomorrow morning-they have had to go to using polymer so geochem analysis of the lower part of the core will have to take this into consideration.
