Mining operations can’t afford surprises. When ore grades don’t match expectations, processing costs soar and recovery rates plummet. You’ve invested too much in your resource to have it compromised by drilling contractors who treat grade control as routine work rather than the critical operation it truly is.
HYDDRILL understands that grade control drilling directly impacts your mine’s profitability. Our precision-focused approach ensures accurate ore boundary definition and reliable grade distribution data, giving your mine planners the confidence to optimise extraction and minimise dilution. We deliver the drilling accuracy that turns resource models into a profitable reality.
Grade control drilling provides the detailed geological information needed to define ore boundaries and guide mining operations. This close-spaced drilling technique creates a comprehensive picture of grade distribution within the ore body, enabling precise dig lines and optimal blending strategies. The process requires exceptional accuracy in hole positioning, consistent sample recovery, and meticulous quality control procedures.
Effective grade control programs demand more than just drilling metres; they require a systematic approach to data quality. From collar positioning to sample handling, every step must maintain the integrity that mine geologists and engineers rely upon for daily production decisions. This precision directly translates to recovered ounces and operational efficiency.
