Conclusions

Conclusions

The sampling of cores in the Beacon section was very successful. The lightweight coring equipment worked well, enabling us to collect samples more efficiently than our coring equipment used in New Zealand. The system was ideally suited to a team of three. The hand piece, used for dispensing the coolant, finished up being held together by string and wire, but modifications should overcome this problem. Significant saving in cooling fluid was achieved so that bulk and weight of equipment and samples were reduced to a minimum.
