And if they hit massive sulphides in NOT-09-50, they'll have to step out again to try to find a hole that *doesn't* hit mineralization for a clear BHEM survey. What a terrible problem! :-) Trying to drill and drill and *not* find nickel- the irony is really tickling.

So it looks to me like the BHEM *has* to be done in a vertical hole (probably to be able to just dangle the sensor and not have it get stuck)? Will the standard 2" hole support BHEM, or does the equipment require a larger diameter hole? Can one of our wonderful geologists comment? The reason that I ask is that if a vertical hole is *not* required, we've probably already got some non-hit candidates. And the only time I've seen down-hole geophyisical survey instrumentation was back in 1983 in Calgary at a geophysics conference. They were more like 6" in diameter back then.
