Working Principle of Mineral Exploration Drilling Rig:

 

  1. Power drives the drill tool to rotate: The diesel engine drives the power system to operate, driving the power head and drill rod to rotate at high speed, providing power for drilling operations.
  2. The drill bit breaks the rock layer: The rotating drill bit is close to the surface of the rock layer under the action of axial pressure, and the alloy teeth or diamond blades on the drill bit break the rock by cutting, grinding, and impact.
  3. The drill rod continues to go down: As the drilling depth increases, the drilling rig lifting mechanism controls the drill rod to continue to extend downward, driving the drill bit to continue to go deep into the formation to achieve deep hole drilling.
  4. Core collection and lifting: In the core drilling mode, the annular drill bit cuts the rock, and the core enters the drill rod. After drilling to the predetermined depth, the drill rod and the core tube are lifted, and the core sample is taken out for geological analysis.
  5. Mud circulation and cuttings removal: During the drilling process, the mud pump injects mud into the borehole to cool the drill bit, lubricate the drill tool, stabilize the hole wall, and carry cuttings. The mud carries the broken cuttings to the ground, effectively removing the cuttings, keeping the borehole clean, and improving drilling efficiency.

 

Mineral Exploration Drilling Rigs Case in the Philippines

 

A mining company in the Philippines focused on copper exploration faced many challenges with its existing drilling equipment. The old drill was slow, often broke down, and did not provide accurate samples. They decided to invest in our mineral exploration drill.
The results have been remarkable. The new drill drill drills deeper and faster than the previous equipment. At one specific exploration site in Zambales Province, the drill was able to drill holes up to 200 meters deep in less time than before. Precise sampling also provided more accurate data about the copper deposits. The company was able to identify copper-rich areas more precisely, allowing for more targeted and efficient mining operations.
Mr. Santos, the company's Exploration Manager, shared his feedback: "These drills have revolutionized our business. We used to suffer from unreliable equipment that slowed us down and gave inaccurate results. With these new drills, we are not only able to drill faster, but the quality of our samples is also exceptional. We can make more informed decisions about where to focus our mining efforts. The after-sales support from the vendor is also first-class. Whenever we have a question or need technical assistance, they respond quickly. We are very happy with our purchase and would highly recommend these drills to other mining companies in the Philippines."
