A successful drill campaign requires five important components.

Expertise

It requires a team of experts that only years of experience can provide.

Technology

A modern drill fleet with the latest technologies in safety and performance.

Infrastructure

The solid infrastructure needed to support efficient field operations.

Responsibility

A deep corporate culture of safety, environmental and communal responsibility.

Economical

To provide each of these requirements at an economically viable and competitive cost.

Five key components of exploration drilling by Globexplore Drilling

GLOBEXPLORE® consistently fulfills all of these requirements, and as a result, every client we have worked with has recommended our services and expressed their willingness to hire us again. Our outstanding track record and reputation sets us apart from the rest.

Deep Core Drilling

We offer a variety of drilling platforms, including underground, track, truck, skid, helicopter and man-portable, to meet our client’s needs.

With the aim of achieving higher production rates and precision, we employ the most innovative technology to operate safely. We have pipe handlers, safety guards, emergency stop switches, and other cutting-edge devices to ensure a safe working environment.

Our deep-hole diamond core rigs can reach depths of up to 1,500 meters (HQ) and 2,400 meters (NQ). Our underground rigs have reached depths of 800 meters (HQ) and 1,400 meters (NQ). Our compact, man-portable rigs can handle complicated conditions and reach depths of 400 meters (HQ) and 750 meters (NQ) while minimizing environmental impact. We also excel in Survey, Directional, and Oriented Core services.

HELI & MAN-PORTABLE

Our portable drilling rigs are compact enough to be easily transported by helicopter and taken to remote locations. Our expertise guarantees that our clients receive a complete high-performance service regardless of extreme conditions or place of destination.

With field experience, our teams have established a reputation for effectiveness and reliability.

REVERSE CIRCULATION

Our Reverse Circulation fleet utilizes recent advancements to offer the industry’s smallest footprint, with a drill pad size as small as 6×8 meters, reducing costs and environmental impact compared to the commonly required 20×20 meter size.

The drills offer high power production capacity with depths up to 420 meters, while beingequipped with modern features like automated rod loaders, breakouts, and remote controloperations for increased sample production and reduced injury risk.

The self-propelled Track or Buggy rigs can move within their own footprint or laterally, providingquick movement between holes and better access to remote locations. The rigs tow their ownhigh-output air compressors, which can be run up to 150 meters away, offering greater flexibilityfor drill targets. Ideal for infill, double wall RAB, mine services, and underground drilling.

DIRECTIONAL DRILLING

Our experienced crews can operate various Directional Drilling equipment, including conventional mud motors and directional core barrels, to achieve your project goals using themost suitable method for your needs.

Directional Drilling can be used for several purposes and in all exploration phases.

GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING

We offer specialized drilling services that determine the sub-surface ground characteristics necessary for infrastructure development. Our methods are diverse and allow us to providehigh-quality results, even in the most challenging and remote locations. Our track-mounted andman-portable drills are equipped with the latest tools to achieve our drilling targets and meetvarious interests.

We provide a range of services from soil sampling to standard SPT, and we can also installunderground and surface sensors, piezometers, and perform packer tests to meet your needs.

ON-SITE ANALYSIS

In 2016 Globexplore® created Geosite, which is an industry first; that offers our clients on-site Mineralogy and Geochemistry using X-Ray Fluorescence and Hyperspectral technologies at the drill rig or core shack. This innovative breakthrough essentially provides our clients with an onsite lab showing real time analytics with objective and consistent logging of drill core and RC rock chip samples. This allows exploration and production teams to make quicker decisions while maximizing their budgets and accuracy of their drill programs.
