What Sets Us Apart
We've dumped all of our resources into perfecting our services by developing techniques no one else provides at a quality no one else can match.
Performance Record
The benefit of manufacturing our own drill rigs is that we have very precise control over the quality of our equipment and an intimate understanding of its operation and capabilities. Our high-quality manufacturing and superior maintenance practices have allowed us to maintain a mechanical uptime above 98% — consistently exceeding industry standards.
We take safety very seriously. Through the use of our central communication team, we keep constant watch over each employee's biometrics to avoid over exertion or injury. Our project management team keeps a close eye on the operation of the drill at all times to ensure all equipment is being operated safely and correctly.
We are no strangers to drilling in challenging environments — from ice to clay, granite to gold. Our deep understanding of geology and drilling mechanics allows us to consistently deliver industry-leading results, achieving a 99.9% hole completion rate over the past 7 years. Our team undergoes intensive training to anticipate, regulate, and overcome drilling challenges in real time, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability in every project.
Capabilities
We have developed a unique mastery of our drill rigs, which allows us to augment our equipment to perform specialized functions that are not found anywhere else in the industry.
For example, our surface rigs can drill at a positive angle, allowing us to dig through the soft topsoil of a hill or even a cliffside without risking hole loss. It allows our clients to stop thinking of the deposit in two dimensions and view it as a three-dimensional target that we can hit from the side, which has significantly sped up the discovery process on some of our projects.
Capabilities
Precision matters when working in mineral discovery. We know how important it is to avoid contamination of core samples, which is why we use and sell Silver-less drill bits exclusively. Most diamond core drill bits use silver composite as a binding agent.
As the bit is worn away, that silver can mix with the sample and provide false positives for mineralization. To ensure your discovery is as accurate as possible, we have sourced and developed silver-free alternatives that deliver the same cutting performance without the risk of sample contamination.
Capabilities
Most remote access drillers use man-portable rigs that are dangerous to move and have limited capabilities, or rely on expensive helicopter lifts that are difficult to re-locate. Instead, we use our own innovative systems and technology to efficiently set up full-sized drills in the most remote locations.
By means of a system of winches, pulleys, and an aerial gondola sled, we can traverse steep cliffs, valleys, and dense forests without road access. This technique allows us to access the most remote locations faster and safer than any of our competitors.
Capabilities
Over the years we have gained an intimate understanding of our equipment and the deviations we can expect from certain types of terrain. By accounting for and compensating for these deviations, we can accurately and reliably reach our target even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Our capabilities even allow us to purposefully curve toward targets without sacrificing the accuracy of our depth reports — a precision that is exceptionally rare in the industry.
Capabilities
Industry standard drill rigs measure the angle of the hole at set intervals to calculate its trajectory. This method leaves much room for error as it does not account for the arc of the hole's curve. Our testing shows that incrementally measuring azimuth in this way can lead to hole mapping that is off by more than 50 meters at the target.
To reduce this inaccuracy, we continually calculate the curve of our drill holes to precisely map each hole in three dimensions with far greater accuracy than the industry standard.
Capabilities
We have always prided ourselves on the ability to get the best results from the worst ground. Sometimes you need to drill through 100 meters of clay to reach the deposit you are looking for, and we recognize the importance of properly cataloguing your sample.
That is why we work to provide unmatched core recovery care. Our samples are instantly documented for review, accurately measured according to your preference, and reverently protected. We even offer core alignment services to ensure you have the most reliable data possible to inform your next steps.
