Sorry for the hold-up, Digidude. Here's the info you requested to the best of my ability. There are some assumptions here, because not enough information has been released to complete the task definitively. The first assumption I make is that holes 4, 9, 10, and 11 targeted the giant anomaly. I make this assumption because the drill hole locations when lined up with the picture of the giant anomaly appear to be over the anomaly and they were the deepest drill holes reported (which I don't believe to be a coincidence). Here are the drill hole depths:
1. 241m 7. 380m 21. 183m 27. 308m
2. 250m 8. 330m 22. 229m 28. 176m
3. 350m 9. 604m 23. 259m 29. 339m
4. 576m 10. 500m 24. 321m 30. 238m
5. 301m 11. 501m 25. 321m 35. 302m
6. 338m 14. 450m 26. 253m
St. Elias did not report the dip and azimuth of the drill holes, but if they followed Quantec's suggestion of 60 degrees, we can caculate the actual depths based on the drill hole depths using the formula (x)sin60=y. I get get: 4. 498m, 9. 523m, 10. 433m, 11. 433m.
While I don't know at what depth the giant anomaly begins, I believe it has been reported here that the center is at 600m. I believe the anomaly is supposed to be about 1300m deep so that would suggest that it begins near surface. If anyone here can definitively say how far below surface the anomaly begins, please chime in.
