Aircore
15Jan
Air-core drilling is relatively inexpensive and is often used in first pass exploration drill programs. Air-core drills 75mm to optimal depths 75 metres and is performed using a smaller mobile rig known as an Air-core rig.
It uses steel or tungsten blades to bore a hole into unconsolidated ground. The drill cuttings are removed by the injection of compressed air into the hole.
Advantages of Air-core drilling
- It eliminates the need for casting holes.
- It provides a more representative sample of material.
- Less chance of cross-contamination.
- Delivers safer sample removal.
- Boosts efficiencies and reduces costs.
