Wireline Coring
We offer PQ, HQ, and NQ wireline coring services for mineral exploration and geological assessment. Our digital downhole cameras enhance data accuracy for resource evaluation. This method provides continuous core samples with minimal operational disruption.
Reverse Circulation Drilling
Track and truck-mounted RC rigs deliver efficient drilling for exploration programs. Using compressors and booster packs, this method ensures rapid sample retrieval while maintaining hole stability in challenging ground conditions.
Water Bores
We construct domestic, irrigation, and mine dewatering water bores. Our techniques ensure sustainable groundwater access while complying with environmental regulations for agricultural and industrial water supply needs.
Monitoring Wells
Specialist wells for mining, coal seam gas, and environmental sectors monitor groundwater quality and quantity. Our installations meet regulatory standards for long-term environmental impact assessments.
Mine Services Holes
We drill large and small diameter holes for underground infrastructure including ventilation, water supply, and backfill operations. This supports safe and efficient mine development and maintenance activities.
