- Core #3 ended at 2,397 meters; drilling resumed beyond 2,400 meters, extending past the originally planned depth.
- Cores #2 and #3 hit “exotic terrane” basement rocks with the highest gas detection readings to date at Lawson, exceeding Core #1 readings.
- Continuous natural hydrogen readings were reported from just below 1,500 meters through Core #3, with helium spikes.
- The first 120 meters of core were sent to AGAT Laboratories in Calgary for analysis; an update is expected during the week of Aug. 3.
