RE: Re Drill depth

RE: Re Drill depthExactly - the drill they are using has a certain size of motor hence the ability to only drill to 600m (stated capacity)and then due to the limits of the motor they reduce the core size and drag on the motor to drill deeper. The information is from the Ecometals website. Not from me ----------Original Message Posted 12/23/2010 3:29:36 PM---------- Deeper drilling requires a BQ core.The NQ core has a range of 0 - 610m and the BQ gives a further 300m.

What in the f*ck are you on about? Has nothing to do with ID/OD, son; has to do with the motor driving it, ok?

I've seen NQ taken down to 1600m and beyond.


Thanks for playing.
