In June 2014 a hole deflagrated. Drill core testing was initiated to understand this behavior. The samples were subject to Reactive Ground Catalyzed Adiabatic and Specific Heating Capacity testing and mineralogical analysis. Assay based classifications for separating non-reactive from reactive ground and different degrees of reactive ground were developed.
