AIMS OF CRP2
2.1.The aims of CRP2 were:
- To recover up to 700 meters of high quality rock core from a second drill hole east off Cape Roberts. The core from CRP2 would 'pick up' from where CRP1 core 'left off (ie. optimally with an overlap of up to 30m) to maintain an unbroken time sequence in the core.
- To conduct drill and logistics operations in an efficient, timely and safe manner.
- To conduct all operations in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation report and thereby minimise impact on the environment.
- To successfully recover enough core to justify a third drill season.
