THE MASTER OF RAISE BORE DRILLING

MASTER DRILLING AUSTRALIA PROVIDES TURN-KEY RAISE BORE SOLUTIONS THAT MEET THE EVER-EVOLVING DEMANDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MINING INDUSTRY.

Known as a safer alternative to explosives, raise bore drilling is essential for a variety of mining applications, including mine ventilation, wastewater routing, hydroelectric pressure shafts, and ore transfer.

While raise boring offers benefits such as enhanced safety, increased drilling precision and reduced surface disruption, it requires skilled operators and powerful drill rigs to ensure smooth implementation.

Enter Master Drilling, a South African company that has grown to become one of the largest rock boring and drilling companies globally.

Supported by 37 years of experience, a presence in over 23 countries and a fleet of more than 150 in-house rigs, Master Drilling hit Australian shores in June 2020 and has since delivered raise bore projects for several Tier 1 miners.

Utilising a collaborative and tailored approach, Master Drilling engages with the client early to understand their specific project requirements, challenges and objectives.

“Through geotechnical analysis and engineering expertise, we assess ground conditions, identify risks, and develop a customised strategy,” Master Drilling general manager - Australasia Joshua Sugden told Australian Mining.
