Core Drilling
What is Core Drilling?
Diamond core drilling provides clients with high quality geological core samples, allowing for accurate modelling and resource estimation. Core samples also provide invaluable information regarding the geotechnical properties of underlying geology, critical for mine design in terms of safety and optimisation. Applied on both surface and underground environments.
Benefits:
- Best possible samples recovery
- Least amount of sample contamination
- Best indication of underlying geological information
- Provides best samples for assaying and metallurgical testing
- Orientated core samples can be used to determine geotechnical information on the underlying geology
Applications:
Mainly used in both surface and underground drilling for defining and delineating ore bodies. Also used for gathering geotechnical information of underlying geology.
