Drilling Report: After night shift advanced the casing we are now getting about 90% returns. Day shift started coring at 46.65m and ending at 73.70 with a total of 27.05m cored (98% recovery). Day shift also had one stuck tube due to sticky clay/sand but managed to get it free after working it for a while. Start of Night shift cored from 73.70 and ending at 88.95 with a total of 15.25m cored (98% recovery) but having to trip out the rods twice to get the tool out of the core barrel. We are getting a fine sandy/clay like wall cake on the inside of the rods. We are having the drill crews flush the rods before each run to try and wash them down. Total cored drilled for entire day was 42.30m with a 98% recovery.
