Diamond drilling rig setup in Brazil. Rare Earth Project. Got back yesterday. Really neat setup to be able to drill on such steep slopes. They build a deck and the rig is modular so breaks down into smaller pieces they can carry. Drilling ~150m. Allows much less land disturbance than larger track-mounted rig.

Water displacement method bulk density testing setup. Testing rare earth-hosting saprolite (weathered bedrock, regolith containing the host-mineral monazite primarily) so has to be wrapped in plastic wrap as it's not competent like rock. Determining tonnage in a deposit is critical. #science
