Shallow Angle Drilling

In 2013, after recognising an un-met need for a straightforward way of drill testing below existing mine infrastructure or into pit walls, at West Core Drilling we modified all our LF90 drill rigs to allow us to successfully drill at angles as shallow as -30°, (in comparison most surface drill rigs are not able to drill at angles of less than -50°).

Since that time we have undertaken multiple drilling projects throughout WA and the NT that specifically required this capability, allowing our clients to access areas that would previously have required expensive de-watering of pits.
