With the seismic survey now complete, drill targets have been chosen and will be permitted under the Bureau of Land Management Notice of Intent (NOI) procedures. This exploration phase will focus on five acres – the maximum allowable disturbance under a NOI. Road construction and drill pad design is underway to access two sites on the playa surface. A water well will also be drilled to provide water for construction and drilling. Capuano Engineering (Santa Rosa, California) - a GRC Member company - has prepared well design proposals to be used in discussions with drilling companies.
Dajin plans to drill two wells from each pad. A shallow well will test the stratigraphy down to 500 feet and a second well will drill deeper to test deeper targets. The drilling results, in conjunction with the high resolution seismic survey and structural interpretation, will provide data to constrain any resource estimate calculated following drilling.
