Comments
Base varried between 265cm and 293cm.
Results from CT at 2292m on a 20° east facing slope showed weak layers down 35 cm and 70cm. Neither layer exposed itself until moderate to hard taps and the fracture characters we experienced were progressive compression and one result of a sudden collapse. That said, both layers seemed to be settling nicely, couldn't get either layer to propagate during an ECT.
