We recovered another short rubble run this morning, and then went into the old drill hole. During the next drilling run (which lasted the rest of the day), we were able to progress downward 58 feet to 9,937' without filling our 5-foot capacity core barrel. Tomorrow we will use our downhole surveying tool to determine the angle of the hole. We will use this information to decide whether to continue drilling along our current trajectory or to try and redirect the drill bit along a straighter path closer to vertical.
