Innovation at its core
We’ve come a long way since we built our first industry leading mobile drill rig. We’ve raised productivity through the roof for our clients, with state of the art rigs that allow hole set-ups to be completed in minutes instead of hours, and rig moves that can be carried out within hours as opposed to days. It’s these kinds of innovations that has enabled our underground division to experience rapid growth, and gain status as a global leader in underground diamond drilling.
We’re constantly looking at ways to increase productivity and reduce costs for our clients. From handheld PDAs that allow our drill crews instant access to information while working on a rig, to our electronically controlled world class training system, our in-house engineers are committed to continuously enhancing our equipment and how we operate.
Right gear for the job
With the most advanced and reliable equipment in the industry, we offer a range of versatile exploration drilling rigs designed to meet your various requirements and needs, specific to the underground environment.
Our highly experienced drilling technicians meticulously maintain equipment to ensure the safest and most efficient performance.
OUR DRILL FLEET
We maintain a global fleet of 72 underground diamond drills, which have been field tested to withstand the toughest conditions.
More specifically our equipment, provide unmatched performance capabilities in:
- Mobility in an underground mining application
- Underground Grade Control
- Deep Hole Exploration target drilling
- Directional Drilling (On Target, Everytime)
- 360* drilling capability
- Enables all standard core sizes to a depth of more than 1,500 metres while remaining versatile for shallow grade control drilling
Safety above all else
For us, safety always comes first. No matter the scope of the project we’re delivering, we comply with the strictest safety regulations, which ensures the safety of our people and others remains top of mind and is never compromised.
