RE:RE:RE:Kidlapik
RE:RE:RE:KidlapikI suspect part of the problems during this program..wasn't necessarily about the drilling...but the ability to transfer all that extensive equipment from site to site.
These kimberlites are still far enough apart...that with little snow fall to transfer to the equipment...it might make for a difficult and ineffective time to get these across to the other kimberlites.
I suspect a decision was made to stay at ch-7 and drill as much as possible to get as much rock as they can.
Question here, I think, is that if they can set up and drill test the LDD rig in the middle of an American summer (where it came from)...why can't they set it up and test and drill with it in the middle of July? What is stopping them? Maybe it is the muddy mess that comes up with the cuttings.
I guess they can use the summer to start preparations for trenching ch-44 this fall/winter.
LONG...PGD
