We have retraced our tracks in Hidden Valley, going back to a site called Bonanza_King. We are going to do a short drilling programme (‘Condensed Drilling’) here on some outcrop in the bright area in the Navcam photo. Its important that we get analyses of the mineralogy of a representative selection of different rock types as we go up the stratigraphy of the sedimentary layers towards Mt. Sharp.
