What he mentioned is that he drilled an anomoly to the south east on the property... What is hoped to be the extension of DE1. The airborn provided a target location at a depth of 400 meters..... 1250 ft down...
The drilling was at a 70 degree angle and steped back to intersect this potential target .... Unfortunately the target location was not acurate, and the peridotite was hit sooner than expected, at about 300 meters ( Down obout 275 M vertical) thus technically he overshot the target.
Now to better define the next round tighter spacing will be done with the VTEM, as well as ground loop and down hole at the time of drilling.
.....PRB had also indentified the targets but missed by angles..that is why they are now planning to use VTEM..hope UC did one more round survey before the expensive drillings occur...
