Fair enough, it doesn't look dissimilar to the one we're using maybe slightly less beefy but your eBay drill has a max depth of 850m so I guess it would do a job. I assume the drill bits are very expensive, I wonder how many they get through? My guesstimate from Myles' comment was $0.5m for a deep drill which might take over a month, so even if you said 50 days that comes out at US$10,000 per day. I would imagine for such a long campaign we could negotiate a better day rate though. Who wants to annoy LR and ask, he's at a big event today, not my exclusive so I'll leave it to sleuths who told me if they want to share :)
