DiscovOre Surface

The DiscovOre head assembly is a revolutionary new core barrel system that provides safety, speed and simplicity. The new design has eliminated the weak and potentially hazardous components of a standard core barrel, the spearhead and spring pins.

The DiscovOre ‘s safety measures are automatic, so no hands-on interaction is needed. It does not add time to the coring cycle, so productivity is maintained. It features a unique latch design that is robust and easy to replace. With its leveraged latches, inner tube jamming is virtually eliminated. A reduced length makes it ideal for underground drilling. What’s more, it converts quickly from underground to surface applications.

Maximum speed is achieved when the DiscovOre is combined with the Arrow 3S, an overshot designed for minimal water resistance.

No spring pins and no spearhead
Robust latches and spindle
Improved conversion head for all hole orientations
Improved latch engagement
Stabilized bearing assembly

Improving Penetrations Rates

Mineral Exploration

Improving your rate of penetration will have a direct impact on profitability as it will increase productivity and lead to recuperating more core. How to achieve better penetration is a challenge for many drillers but there are several methods that will help.

Stuck in the hole

Mineral Exploration

Nothing is as discouraging as becoming “stuck in the hole”, yet is it not uncommon in drilling. While there are many ways you can be stuck in the hole, they all have the potential to stall operations and result in lost productivity.

Extending Bit Life

Mineral Exploration

Getting the longest life possible for your core matrix is a key consideration if you want to run a productive and profitable drilling operation. Changing a drill bit takes time especially the farther down the hole it is, and the time spent replacing a bit is not productive.
