Yesterday I met Chris Delahunty from DOSECC on site in ...
Chris paints the Kimama Deep Hole stake. This is where we drill. N42.839769, W113.795537 [ N42 degrees, 50.3862 minutes, W113 degrees 47.7322 minutes ]

Yesterday I met Chris Delahunty from DOSECC on site in Kimama (with the owner and his contractors) to discuss site plan and layout. Chris marked the corners of the site for gravel pad, and pounded stakes for where the water well and Deep Hole will go. So the plan now is for a late August start at Kimama site, with total time on site of about 90 days, more or less. We then move to Kimberly in early December to start that hole. Site prep at Kimberly will occur in mid to late November. Then on to Mountain Home in March. I am currently organizing site crews to accept core from the drillers and get it logged before shipping to USU for "The Works". In other news, our "core lab" is being built here at USU and should be ready in 2 weeks. The ICDP scanners have arrived in US and should arrive at USU this coming Monday.
