Exploration Drilling
We carry out exploration drilling programmes using three methods — rotary, diamond core and reverse circulation — with the core logging and QA/QC required for data used in resource estimation. In the Northern Region we completed 85 exploration boreholes on a phosphate project.
Exploration drilling services
Rotary drilling
Rotary drilling for fast penetration and first-pass exploration.
Diamond core drilling
Diamond core drilling for continuous, high-quality rock core.
Reverse-circulation drilling
Reverse-circulation drilling for clean, rapid samples along the orebody.
Core logging
Logging the core and describing mineralisation and structure with depth.
Sampling and QA/QC
Sampling, with quality control over samples and data before they reach the laboratory.
Drilling-programme management
Designing the programme around the target and managing it in the field to handover.
