How hard is it to drill through gneiss?
Typically very hard, imagine drilling into a granite top at your local cocktail bar... Imagine it twice as hard... Now in terms of drilling in all boils down to the amount of air pressure you have going DTH to break and pulverize the gneiss. Typically, if one would use a 24bar 1170 cfm compressor, drilling a 6"dia hole, you will drill roughly 4-8m per hour. This is our averages in Archean granites and gneiss. It takes way much longer if you have less air pressure (less than 21bars / 300psi)

What is Gneiss composed of?
Gneiss is composed of mineral grains that are arranged into distinct layers or bands. The most common minerals found in gneiss include quartz, feldspar, and mica. The banding in gneiss is a result of intense heat and pressure during its formation, causing the minerals to segregate into layers.
Why is gneiss hard?
Gneiss is metamorphic rock that forms from preexisting sedimentary or igneous rocks. It is developed under high temperature and pressure conditions, causing it to become hard.
Is metamorphic rock soft or hard?
There are types of igneous rocks that are hard (eg granite) and others that are soft (eg volcanic ash). There are types of metamorphic rocks that are hard (eg gneiss) and others that are soft (eg marble). Thus "hardness" is not a characteristic that can be used to distinguish between the two.
