Boart Longyear is participating in the Mineral Exploration Roundup 2017 (AME-BC), January 23 to 26 in Vancouver, British Columbia. “We pride ourselves in delivering drilling services and products and equipment that are backed with our more than 125 years of industry expertise,” said Mark Irwin, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer. “During AME-BC, we’re looking forward to talking about our key drilling services including sonic, coring (surface and underground), production drilling, and reverse circulation, as well as our latest innovative products like TruCoreTM core orientation.”

Boart Longyear’s highly trained, safe and experienced drilling services team will be available to discuss the following services:

• Sonic rigs and crews can reach depths of over 213 m with minimal environmental impact. Sonic drilling offers several advantages over conventional drilling, such as speed, risk minimization, flexibility and superior well construction.
• Underground Coring: Offering a diverse fleet of rigs and mobile platforms makes it easier for crews to move safely from site to site. Its drillers have expertise that can accommodate projects ranging from small hole to over 1,300 m angle and vertical hole projects. It also offers directional drilling and specialty services
• Surface Coring: With a complete range of core sizes, from BQ™ to PQ and larger, and a diverse fleet, its certified crews can reach depths exceeding 3,048 m
• Production services are provided with cable bolt drilling, long-hole drill and blast, and more. The drilling service teams are dedicated to delivering safe, fast and effective production drilling by using pneumatic/hydraulic down-the-hole or top hammer methods
• The diverse fleet of reverse circulation rigs includes various sizes, depth capacities (up to 1,219 m), and mounting and winterization options.
