Ranger Drilling can supply small cost effective first pass drilling. Our nimble air core drilling machines are catered for remote drilling locations and include remote accommodation facilities and logistical support.
Air core drilling is a superior first pass drilling technique as, opposed to RAB, the sample contamination is minimised through the dual tube system. We understand the importance of sample quality, even with first pass drilling on a potential project.
We approach air core drilling in the same way as our other service offerings.
Understanding the project and the required outcomes provides the knowledge and allows planning for efficient execution of the works.
We deploy skilled and experienced crews to your projects supported by our supervisors and maintenance personnel to ensure breakdowns or technical assistance are quickly managed.
Our quality processes ensure that sample is attained to the best standard.
Our air core rigs have rod handling equipment designed for efficient operations. This minimises the manual input in the works to ensure that our personnel are safeguarded against injury.
Ranger Drilling can provide the program outcomes required of any air core program.
We are experienced in exploration and near mine works and carry spares and equipment to ensure your program runs efficiently.
Provision of modern equipment delivers results through reliability, safety and minimal downtime.
Sample quality is paramount and we can deliver that quality through our drill and sample systems backed up by documented quality checks of our gear. Repeatable results consistently.
Air Core drilling uses both a compressor and blade type bits to bore through the ground while raising the soil sample to the surface at the same time.
Air Core drilling utilises high-pressure air and dual walled rods to penetrate the ground and return the sample to the surface through the inner tube and then through a sampling system. The ground is cut through with the use of a steel blade type bit. This sample is then collected and analysed.
We are one of the major mining contractors to some of Australia’s biggest miners. We pride ourselves on providing innovative drilling solutions in WA.
