The new tricone bit arrived at bottom early this
PVC tubes have been prepared to handle the core.

The new tricone bit arrived at bottom early this morning and rotary drilling commenced. Unfortunately, parts of the previous bit have remained at the bottom of the hole and prevented forward progress. The new bit was tripped out and a milling assembly with a junk catcher was tripped in. The milling assembly, which has just arrived at bottom as of 6 PM tonight, will mill through the old bit. This should be completed tonight, and drilling should commence tomorrow.
