Today is the last weekly break for change of drillers. Some will not come back since we have only 3 days of drilling left before hole-completion work will start. It feels like the beginning of the end. Also the rig seems to feel it. Problems here and there and spare parts are on the way (and proper maintenance is only a few drilling days away, after demobilisation). Present depth is 2224 m. We are still in the porphyries and their lower boundary seems to be out of sight. New drill bit, new luck. Let's hope this bit and the rig will last for the full remaining drilling time.
