The drill crew is back and bigger than ever in 2007! With a larger crew, drilling operations will run 24/7 this year. Hopefully with this schedule and the expert on-site advice of Ron Fierbach, we will make better downhole progress than we did last year. We have also decided to try tricone rotary drilling for a while, in an attempt to cut through the highly fractured pillow lavas on the bottom and find more consolidated rock at greater depth. Stay tuned for more updates on the status of this venture.
