Our drillers have expertise that can accommodate projects ranging from small hole to over 1,300 meter angle and vertical hole projects. We also offer directional drilling and specialty services.
  • Surface Coring: With a complete range of core sizes, from BQ™ to PQ and larger, and our diverse fleet, our certified crews can reach depths exceeding 10,000 feet (3,048 meters).
  • Production: We provide production services with cable bolt drilling, long-hole drill and blast, and more. Our drilling service teams are dedicated to delivering safe, fast and effective production drilling by using pneumatic/hydraulic down-the-hole or top hammer methods.
  • Reverse Circulation: Our diverse fleet of reverse circulation rigs includes various sizes, depth capacities (up to 4,000 feet or 1,219 meters), and mounting and winterization options.
