Minimised environmental impacts
Our highly manoeuvrable, yet powerful track-mounted rigs are less than half the size of conventional truck-mounted rigs, minimising clearing, reducing our clients’ environmental footprint.
Deep directional drilling
Our rigs provide you with the flexibility to drill to >2,000m and to achieve multiple intersections of your targets through wedging and navi drilling.
Shallow angle drilling
Our specially modified drill rigs can drill at an angle of -30 degrees for those hard to reach targets in difficult terrain, below infrastructure or to avoid sensitive areas.
Flexibility
Our fleet comprises a range of rigs to facilitate drilling in a variety of different environments, whether from our nimble, small footprint rigs to access hard to get to areas, extended track variants to minimise our ground pressure to work on salt lakes, to deep-hole rigs to drill multiple intersections at >2,000m.
We believe this provides our clients with access to the most flexible fleet of diamond drill rigs in W.A.
