A profile of the well was completed and provides valuable insight into the hole potential. Test work completed by Zelandez includes the measurement of conductivity and temperature of well fluid, well caliber measurement, resistivity measurement, radioactivity measurement, ultrasonic wave measurement and nuclear magnetic resonance of sediment rock/fluid.\n \n \n Based on this test work, total porosity averaged 21% ranging from 1% to 45%.  The Specific Yield throughout the profile averaged 7%, with maximum values of up to 33%. Based on this information, the technical team plans to install a high-capacity pump capable of extracting brine at a rate of between 40 and 50 liters per second. Hole PW23-AS02 is in a key location and could provide substantial brine for production throughput.\n \n \n \"We are excited to announce the successful drill completion of pumping well PW23-AS-02 to 400 meters of depth,\" states...
