## Caption

Curiosity's Brushwork on Martian 'Bonanza King' Target: Our Curiosity Mars rover used the Dust Removal Tool on its robotic arm to brush aside reddish, more-oxidized dust, revealing a gray patch of less-oxidized rock material at a target called "Bonanza King," visible in this image from the rover's Mast Camera.

The rover team is evaluating Bonanza King as a possible drilling target.  The mission has previously drilled into three target rocks to collect sample powder for analysis by the rover's onboard laboratory instruments.
