- 30.8% decrease in ash content, from 32.7% to 22.6%

17459 kJ/ kg is 7511 BTU/ lb
21722 kJ/ kg is 9345 BTU/ lb ....not so boring.
I heard that WGF has hogging the drill for some reason, delaying WTRs drilling, intended to be immediately north of (or part of) Niska. Both should be done by now. But sure is quite all around.
