Mineral Exploration Drilling
Are you
- Exploring for minerals, precious metals, or base metals?
- Designing a new mine and determining the subterranean characteristics of your mine site?
- Expanding your mine?
- Re-opening an abandoned mine?
- Closing and monitoring an abandoned mine?
Quality matters at every stage of mineral exploration and mining – drilling clean, straight, on-target holes is essential. Our drilling teams have the skills, equipment, and tooling to drill straighter, on-target holes through any substrate. As conditions change, we adjust drilling methods and rigs to deliver the results you need on time and within budget.
- Geotechnical drilling
- Environmental drilling
- Well abandonment
- Mine water supply drilling
- Mine dewatering wells
Premier Drilling has the drilling expertise, equipment, and specialized tooling to safely and efficiently deliver the drilling services your mineral exploration project requires.
