Anywhere between 50 and 250m. As you say 150m a day is probably the most they will achieve. Probably end of January before any results are released unless they hit something extra special.
It would be nice to have someone there with a handheld spectrometer uploading the results while they drill! I’ve been holding and averaging down since before Fukushima and through the downturn thereafter so a couple months more wont make any difference.
They won’t be using a diamond core as it’s slower and costs more and requires a reasonable water supply. That have stated they will use reverse circulation most likely with a dth hammer. This means that they will most likely bag up a sample over each metre drilled and test it. Anywhere from 50m to 250m a day should be achieved depending on the rig/gear used and strata encountered!
