How to get past the end of trail in mars miner for iPhone/Itouch/ iPad?

I have the mars miner game for the iPhone and can't figure out how to get past the end of trail I've uncovered the whole map and only found one artifact and I can see that there's things to mine past that. Has anyone finished the game?

O_o Never heard of that game, sorry!
