Here is an image of the drillhole, and the tailings around it, taken by the MAHLI microimager on the robotic arm. In the tailings pile and within the hole (it is 1.6 cm deep) you can a light mineral; this is the sort of visual information that is important in interpreting the drill hole and John Klein mineralogy. It looks like we have sampled the sulphate veins that are characteristic of the John Klein area.
Soon we will start on a second drillhole a few metres away, in order to check and compare the results of the first drillhole.
