Borehole Infrastructure Report
Stratigraphic Bore Log
Samples of the drill cuttings were obtained during drilling of the
borehole and stored for future reference. Standard borehole
information is documented in the bore log below.

Geophysics Log
The portable Geovista logging system was used to collect geophysical data from 30m to
surface. The Electrical Conductivity sonde (DILS) is used to obtain quantitative information
on dissolved salts and apparent bulk conductivity information. The natural gamma sonde
(NGRS) is predominantly used for qualitative evaluations of stratigraphic characteristics,
argillaceous sediments and clay minerals.

Slug Test
A standard slug test has not been performed on this extraction
bore. Future field work that encorporates fundamentals of
characterizing the permeability of the screened stratigraphy has
been planned.

Groundwater Quality
Basic chemical analysis of the dissolved solutes and concentration of ions in
the borehole was performed. The testing also included hydrogen ion
activity (pH) and fluid electrical conductivity (EC). Data from the chemical
analysis is shown below.
