Air Core Drilling

Air core drilling is a valuable method for organizations looking to reduce the risk of sample cross-contamination. It’s commonly used in first-pass exploration drill programs on unconsolidated ground, with an optimal depth.

Air core drilling is an inexpensive method of exploration drilling that can be employed when the safe removal of a sample material is paramount and much faster and more cost-effective. Air core drilling uses three-bladed steel or tungsten drill bits to bore holes into unconsolidated ground and is used when safe and clean removal of sample material is paramount.
