"Maybe nothing new to some..."

New to me.  I thought RRC was to be first.  But why is it going so slowly if they are only working on the second hole at Hay Mountain after all these weeks?  Could there be drilling complications?  Geesh!

From the surface, they should be drilling into marbelized breccia, thought to be a cap over the skarn some 300 feet below the surface.  Is marble that tough to drill?  I didn't think so.

Anyway, these are long holes at Hay Mountain.  By comparison, the holes at RRC will be short, and the rock type should be easier to drill.
