During the quarter, two core holes were drilled to assess the configuration of the mahogany zone near Retort #22 and Retort #24. One hole was drilled about 230 feet northwest of Retort #22 and Retort #24. One hole was drilled about 230 feet northwest of Retort #22 and the second was drilled adjacent to Retort #24. Figure 1 shows the location of the holes. The hole near Retort #22 was drilled to a depth of 85 feet, or about 20 feet below the mahogany zone. Logging and analysis of the core revealed nothing unusual. The core near Retort #24, designated exploratory hole #24 discovered a small anomaly in the general trend of the mahogany zone. Apparently the hole was drilled into a local dip in the stratum. It was a first thought that this dip could affect the blasting configuration of Retort #24 but it was concluded that this was not the case. See Drilling and Blasting below for further detail.
