Drill hole TOP-02 has been drilled to a depth of 258 feet and drilling continues with the drill bit in reduced claystone. The upper claystone was intersected at 7 ft, but down-hole problems did not allow for the upper claystone to be properly cored until a depth of 22 feet. Reduced claystone was intersected at 96 feet.
Drill-hole TOP-02M (metallurgical test hole) has been drilled to a depth of 235 feet so far. TOP-02M intersected claystone at a depth of 7 feet, but downhole problems did not allow for the claystone to be properly cored until 20 feet.
