Heres an =excerpt from another companies news release. It shows you that they averaged 61m per day, have 7 holes approx 200m completed and awaiting assays. Pretty quick! They are in Peru also. This news came out today.
The contract driller, Explomin
Del Peru S.A.C. ("Explomin"), commenced the Program on March 29, 2011.
The planned Program comprises up to 23 diamond core drill holes and 3,000 to 4,000 metres of drilling. To
date, 10 holes have been completed for 1,918 metres. Core samples for the first 7 completed holes have
been shipped to the Inspectorate Lab in Lima for assaying. The Company expects to shortly release initial
assay results, and thereafter, assay results will be released on a periodic basis.
All completed holes intersected the Urumalqui Vein ("Vein") as predicted in the cross sections prepared by
the Company, providing initial support for the continuity of the strike and dip of the Vein over the 1,000
metre strike length planned to be drilled in the Program. To date, Explomin has achieved an average daily
drilling rate of 61 metres, and core recoveries per hole have averaged 93% within the Vein and 96% for the
entire hole. Overall, the drilling results to date are in line with the Company's expectations, and the
Program is proceeding on schedule.
