GOLDEN EAGLE MINE • <br />DRILL HOLE SUMMARY <br />FAULT/FRACTURE SYSTEM EXPLORATION PROGRAM <br />FEBRUARY - MAY 1988 <br />GE 26-88 <br />Code /TD /Surf. Elev: (#1) /600 ft./7230.7 <br />Depth /THK /Elev. Maxwell TOC: -462.2 '/8.0' /6768.5 <br />Water inflow /Elev.: -460', grey sandstone /6771 <br />Water GPM (estj: 25-30 GPM in 5 5/8" hole @ TD <br />55 GPM in 7 7/8" hole @ TD <br />Water levels /Elev: 225-280' range /6951-7006 <br />Gas inflow /Elev: -460', grey sandstone /6771 <br />REMARKS: <br />This well was air drilled to 290 ft where moisture was first <br />encountered. It was then drilled with mist (water/air) to <br />460 feet where at the rod connection a sudden flow of <br />methane gas and water accumulation occurred. The Maxwell <br />seam was approximately 5 feet below and the well was ideal <br />for possibly diverting the fluids very close to the workings <br />and at the mine level. The well could not be completed due <br />to the inability to pull the existing smaller surface casing • <br />to accommodate a larger well casing and high-capacity water <br />pump. The well was offset by 20 feet and a new well GE <br />33-88 was completed to the proper size. GE 26-88 was reamed <br />to its maximum size of 7 7/8 in. to 600 ft TD and left open <br />hole with a collar and 2 in. valve at the top. The well <br />also developed a caving shale zone at approximately 280 feet <br />where continued attempts to open it were causing circulation <br />problems in the adjacent wells. The elevation of the <br />Maxwell seam (6768.5) did not differ appreciably from the <br />Second Right workings (6763.2) approximately 95 feet: away, <br />and no fault offset could be substantiated. <br />GE 27-88 <br />Code /TD /Surf.
