Drilling Commences at Neal Hot Springs
Attribution: US Geothermal
US Geothermal, developer and operator of the Raft River project in Idaho, have commenced resource characterization with an ~1,100 meter exploration hole drilled parallel to the discovery well completed by Chevron in the 1970’s. Since there is a hot spring expressed on the surface, there is a very good chance that a hydrothermal system exists that is capable of supporting commercial geothermal operations. The project calls for 30 days of drilling operations followed by 60 days of testing to determine what sort of resource exists and supply the company with sufficient information to make the decision about further development of the site.
