Two days ago, just after midnight, drilling operations were just about to commence after the drill bit was replaced, when the operations stopped with a terrible sound. The gear box of the drill rig was broken beyond repair. Unfortunately, some broken pieces of a bearing dropped into the rotation unit and a major service is necessary to clean it out and get the unit running again. The technical/drilling team and an external expert worked hard to fix the problem, got a replacement shipped to the drill site and mounted it on the drill rig today. Thank you very much for this effort! Drilling started again today during the evening.
