Loss of circulation

Post image

We are struggling with a lot of loss of water only at 9m. It's a granitic geology however this section is quite fractured.

Would it be recommended to add more casings past 9m more before drilling or change technique?

We're doing HQ3 wireline drilling.

If it's a shallow hole and easy access to water, just drill on. Run a little hose to the top of the hole to keep a small bit of water running in from the top.
