1. | 0 | 1 | Brown Topsoil. |
2. | 1 | 2 | Orange/yellow Clays becoming greener down to 7m - calcretized kimberlite - remnant chips are highly weathered brown. Includes some 2 degrees iron stained qtz basement rubble. |
3. | 2 | 6 | 7m - predominantly hard calcrete. |
4. | 6 | 9 | Predominantly yellow/green to green kimberlitic Clays with some remnant brown highly weathered kimberlite and abundant inclusions of weathered foliated brown qtz mica - Schist, quartz feldspathic gneiss, Amphiboliteibolite and pink k-fspar. |
5. | 9 | 27 | Mod - weathered phlogopite bearing kimberlite breccia - inclusion rich (chlorite Schists, QF gneiss and Amphiboliteibolite) visually confuring. Can only gneiss at 50% k 50% inclusions. |
6. | 27 | 32 | Notable abundance of phlogopite. |
7. | 32 | 39 | Predominantly green/brown micaceous Schist shattered xenolith. |
8. | 39 | 47 | Variuosly inclusion content, fresh, phlogopite bearing kimberlite breccia. Inclusions of Amphiboliteibolite pink gneiss, k-fspar, quartz, qtz - mica Schist and chlorite Schist 20% - 80% inclusions. |
9. | 47 | 63 | Pink felsic gneiss - xenolith. |
10. | 63 | 78 | 48-78m breccia kimberlite, difficult to define - generally chaotic. Oten difficult to separate kimberlite from various dark grey Schist. Inclusions variable from almost 100% to 5% micaceous Schist, k-fspar gneiss, chlorite Schist. |
11. | 78 | 81 | Felsic gneiss. |
12. | 81 | 97 | 80-97 highly weathered - drill product is predom, dark grey - green Clays Amphiboliteibolite. |
13. | 97 | 101 | Qtz biotite gneiss. |
14. | 101 | 110 | 100% phlogopite rich & macrocrystic fresh hypabyssal kimberlite. Nice to see such comincing kimberlite for a change. |
