RC Drilling

We specialize in RC drilling services for mineral exploration, grade control, and resource evaluation, using modern rigs, reverse circulation hammers, and dual tube rods to collect clean and representative chip samples.

Basics of RC Drilling:

• RC drilling uses specialized rods with inner and outer tubes.
• The drill cuttings are returned to the surface inside the rods.
• A pneumatic reciprocating piston (hammer) drives a tungsten-steel drill bit.
• It is cost-effective and achieves better penetration than some other methods.

Applications:

• Open-cut mines: For pit grade control and mine planning.
• Exploration: To delineate potentially extractable ore bodies.
• Depth: Depths of up to 500 meters are routinely achieved.
