Today was our first day of serious core processing. In total we washed, dried, marked, and boxed 37 feet of core. The core became more highly fractured with depth, which increased our processing time significantly as we attempted to piece it back together. As the core processing crew becomes more comfortable with our tasks, we will be able to do more each day. We hope to update the site soon with box photographs, core scans, and lithologic reports. The current driling depth at the time of this update is 10,250.
