Thus the ?? as for where and what the third drill is/ was doing a week ago.
The other point I recall is that there are 54 working in camp at present (as of last weekend) and thus the camp is likely near full. My thinking is that to maximize camp utilization they will get as much ground work completed as is possible while the weather is cold and relatively constant. Once this work is finished the Geophysical specialists will be sent out of camp and there will then be more room for drill crews. With the addition of the incoming drills they will need more drill crews. Working twined they can cut down on the number of drillers needed to man the drills thus more drilling per driller. This will help out on the camp size constraints. Also they will be able to continue drilling much more easily as the weather changes as compared to ground prep work and thus getting ahead on the ground prep work now will provide overall efficiency and allow better continuous progress.
