Diamond core drilling for exploration, with inclined boreholes, borehole logging, deviation surveys and core orientation.
Damasco Penna carries out drilling for mineral exploration with a range of tools and dedicated rigs built to reach greater depths. The drilling techniques map and assess the potential of a mineral deposit, with the capacity to reach depths of more than 1,000 metres in diamond core drilling.
Mineral exploration relies on diamond core drilling to recover continuous core from the geological formations, allowing the description of lithologies, mineralisation and structures at depth. From the core and the borehole records, the extent and quality of the deposit are assessed, supporting each stage of the exploration programme.
