I went to Mt Teide twice as a teenager - it's an astonishing, barren, beautiful place - the plateau on the top of Tenerife from which the final tip of the volcano spikes upwards.....
Anyway - I spotted this vid at the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4767403.stm Doug |

Oh, yes -- the drill on that thing would have been provided by Italy, along with a package of subsurface scientific sensors fastened to the drill head to examine the walls of the borehole. Quite a detailed document was put out by Italy on that design before the 2003 sample return mission turned out to be another of Dan Goldin's fever dreams (I've recorded it, but don't know if it's still available on the Web). It's not surprising that Italy retained the drill design for ExoMars -- although whether they can actually cram it onto such a small rover is open to serious question.
