Boart Longyear’s Level 4 status was achieved through its ratings on ownership, management, skills development, enterprise, supplier and socio-economic development.

Boart Longyear employs approximately 4,900 personnel committed to working safely every day.

The company's drilling crew has drilled a hole 2083.4 meters (6,835 feet) deep.

Held every three years, BAUMA’s last trade show attracted 138,929 visitors from the mining sector which equated to about 24% of the total attendance.

It’s not just about drilling.

The LF160 rig and Freedom Loader combination offers more control and oversight which means less interruption and a more efficient operation.

Boart Longyear’s innovative onsite core and chip scanning technology—TruScan™—has been awarded the Premier’s Award in the Mining Equipment, Technology, and Services (METS) sector for Excellence in Innovation.

Boart Longyear is planning an impressive presence at the show bringing its highly productive LS™250 sonic drill rig to be displayed in booth number 763. The company was the first U.S. firm to utilize sonic equipment for environmental drilling with this technology now being used in a wide variety of soft ground and shallow drilling applications. Sonic drilling is shown to be faster, with less than one percent drill deviation, and is more accurate than conventional overburden drilling. It also creates more efficient penetration, reducing waste up to 80% and resulting in maximum core recovery.

Usually, a bit that cuts faster gets used up faster – which means more tripping to change the bit. The new Longyear bits seem to have the right balance. It’s important to select the right bit for the type of rock encountered. Longyear bits make that easier to do. I highly recommend the new Longyear bits – they have improved penetration rates, productivity and outlast any other bit I’ve used.

Focus; safety performance, schedule, price, and quality core recovery.

GEMCO is an open-cut mining operation, producing high-grade manganese ore that is shipped to GEMCO’s Tasmanian manganese alloy plant and around the world.

After drilling through the entirety of 2017 and into 2018, the rods have achieved over 20,700 meters of drilling versus a typical life of approximately 12,000 meters on NRQ™ rods.
