Core sampling the whole way. Outskirts of jundee at wiluna. Punched a few holes down the side of the pit while I was there and the deep holes were for underground to work out where they were going. Most target zones 800-1200. I got lucky as the drillers I offsided with were absolute guns so we got the hard stuff. Best day we cracked >100m in our 12 hours and cross shift got 80m. 22mins was out fastest 6m off memory. That was shallow work tho, deep holes can take 45m just to pull a core tube.

I don't drill any more but do kind of miss the work.



Huh, I just drove the canning, I was in wiluna two weeks ago!
