Drilling Report: Started coring at 119.40m, with Mike in Nairobi getting his pins taken out of his leg today we are still on one extended drilling shift with both DPI crews working together while Mike is gone. We are still having issues with the tube getting stuck all day long with the sand/silt buildup in the rods. We have drained the return sump and turned it into and holding tank for clean fresh mud, this way we will not run out of mud during a drill run. We are no longer going to recirculate the mud coming out of the casing. (Made a trench to funnel it into the brush). We ended the shift at 11pm and finished coring at 156.0m with at total of 36.6m and 91% recovery.
