Side-tracking is continuing and cutting samples look promising.
Saint Barbara, the patron of miners, drillers and geologists, has arrived at Krafla and joins in a morning-meeting at the drill site.

Side-tracking is continuing and cutting samples look promising. The last few samples contain ~ 70-80% rock cuttings of fine-medium grained basalt. Most of them seem to be freshly cut, while a few somewhat rounded grains and some crushed grains are probably remnants from the initial drilling in this depth range.
