For exploration and resource development companies in Western Australia, uncovering valuable resources often begins with the right tools. At Bostech Drilling, we understand the importance of quality equipment, and that’s why we offer a comprehensive range of air core drill bits – the key to efficient and accurate sample collection in unconsolidated ground.
What are Air Core Drill Bits?
Air core drilling is a fast and cost-effective method for collecting geological samples in loose materials like sand, soil, and weathered rock. Unlike traditional diamond core drilling, air core drilling utilises a hollow drill rod and a specialised air core drill bit.
These drill bits typically feature:
- Three durable steel blades: Designed to cut through unconsolidated ground formations efficiently
- Open face design: Allows for continuous air flow, which flushes cuttings up through the hollow drill rod for collection and analysis
- Tungsten carbide inserts: These incredibly hard and wear-resistant inserts provide extended bit life, crucial for productive drilling in even the most challenging terrains
