Slimline Reverse Circulation Drilling is a specialised drilling method used in mineral exploration and resource extraction. It is characterise by its compact and highly maneuverable drilling rigs, which are specifically design for use in areas where space is limit or access is restrict. These rigs are equip with advance drilling technology and are capable of efficiently collecting samples from the earth’s subsurface.
Applications of Slimline RC Drilling
- Grade Control: Slimline RC Drilling is crucial for maintaining precise grade control in mining operations. It allows mining companies to obtain accurate information about the ore’s grade, ensuring that the right quality and quantity of resources are remove.
- Sterilisation: Before launching full-scale mining operations, it’s essential to identify areas that do not contain economically viable resources. Slimline RC Drilling is an effective tool for sterilisation, helping mining companies exclude non-productive zones from their mining plans.
- Exploration Drilling: Slimline RC Drilling rigs can be seamlessly integrate into various exploration programs, such as RAB (Rotary Air Blast) or Aircore drilling. These rigs are adaptable and can be utilise to collect samples and data for a wide range of geological and mineralogical assessments.
- Access-Restricted Sites: Slimline RC Drilling is especially valuable in environments where access is limit, such as pit operations or narrow tunnels. The compact design of these rigs allows for efficient drilling in confined spaces.
Advantages of Slimline RC Drilling:
- Cost-Efficiency: Slimline RC Drilling is notable for its cost-effectiveness. The compact size of the rigs reduces the need for elaborate setup and mobilisation, ultimately lowering the overall cost of drilling operations.
- Precision and Versatility: These rigs offer excellent precision and can be equip with various face-sampling hammers. This versatility allows for seamless transitions between different drilling methods, eliminating the need to change equipment or mobilise additional crews.
- Manoeuvrability: The compact and powerful design of Slimline RC Drilling rigs makes them easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, ensuring that no valuable resources are left unexplore.
