Our Equipment
The right iron for the ground you're drilling, purpose-built diamond drills, winterized for the north and maintained like our lives depend on it. Because they do.
A5 Diamond Drill Rig
Our A5 is a deep-hole surface diamond drill built for long, precise programs in hard, broken, and remote ground. Housed in a modular all-weather shelter, it runs around the clock through winter storms and summer heat alike, delivering clean, high-recovery core with wireline retrieval on every interval.
Capabilities
- Deep NQ holes to 1,800 m with wireline retrieval and 99% core recovery targets.
- Oriented core, triple-tube barrels for broken ground, and downhole surveying on every interval.
- Fully winterized modular shelter, runs through arctic cold, alpine storms, and 24-hour darkness.
- Angle drilling from -45° to vertical for wedging, definition, and exploration programs.
- Onboard water management and spill containment for environmentally sensitive sites.
Limitations
- HQ-size core is practical to roughly 1,000 m; deeper holes are drilled NQ or BQ.
- Needs a constructed drill pad and sump, tight footprints are better suited to our skid rigs.
- Steep or unstable terrain requires pad engineering before the rig can mobilize.

Paper Trail, Not Paperwork
Every program runs on the same digital backbone, so your data, safety records, and drill logs arrive complete, organized, and auditable.
Drill with Lantern
We drill with Lantern, capturing depth, core runs, and drilling data digitally as we go, so your geology team gets clean, structured hole logs instead of a shoebox of notebooks.
