Understanding Diamond Drilling
Some clear answers to the most frequently asked questions to better understand diamond drilling, how it works, and its key role in mining exploration projects.
What is diamond drilling (core drilling)?
Diamond drilling, also known as core drilling, is a method that allows the collection of a cylindrical rock sample, called a core. This core provides precise information about the geological structure of the ground, which is essential for mining exploration work.
How does diamond drilling work?
The drill is equipped with a hollow diamond drill bit that cuts through the rock as it penetrates the ground. The core is then brought to the surface using a cable and winch system and placed in boxes for an initial visual analysis by geologists.
What is the importance of diamond drilling in mining exploration?
Diamond drilling allows for the precise identification of mineralized zones. It provides reliable data on the continuity, grade, and geometry of geological formations, thereby reducing uncertainties associated with exploration.
What are the technical requirements for this type of drilling?
Diamond drilling generally requires access to a nearby water source (lake, river, or well, ideally within 3 km) to supply the drill and ensure efficient and safe drilling operations.
