DRILLING

NEW GROUND

Drilling and finding the best hole to setup the hoyst

The vigin ground


Starting to drilling


The opal leavel is about 68to 76 feet
There is a first(squibby) opal leavel at about 18 to20 feet(not worked) Another at 58/+ and the third (3) 74 feet in this ground.


With the holes drilled its time to place the boxing around the holes (shalfts)


The claim is 100mx50m


I will join hole 3 and 4
For air flow and safty


Then make a drive from hole 4 to hole 5
wtih the hope of finding some opal tracess


Hole 5 with mesh over the top (to keep nature out)This is the best opal leavel drilled up.


I was going to blast the conection with explosives.
Dew to the expence of the explosives and new goverment
regulations it was cheeper to have another hole drilled next to 4.(3feet)




Looking at the map you will se thatI have choesen hole 4 and 3for the first drive.
It's 10 feet between 3 and 4.
Hole 6 next to hole 4(3feet between)to make the conection for air
Im stating work in hole 4 so that I am able to shift the dirt out of the hole
