We have traveled very quickly to the bottom of the old hole over the past couple days, cleaning out the rubble to a depth of 10,201 feet with a tricone rotary bit. Once we survey this deepest region of the hole and change from the tricone bit to a coring bit, we will be ready to begin coring where the 1999 phase of drilling left off.
