Abstract
A deep core drilling project focused on evaluating the geothermal potential of the Snake River Plains in southern Idaho. Slim-hole continuous diamond coring and associated geophysical surveys were used to sample different geothermal environments. Three locations were drilled with target depths as follows: Kimama 1915 m, Kimberly 1959 m, and Mountain Home 1821 m. All total depths were accomplished or exceeded. A continuous core sample was produced and down-hole temperature while drilling was collected.
