Tailings Sampling |
Sampling tailings can be a tricky
operation, as tailings are usually quite soft and can have a low weight
bearing capacity. They also are almost always located in annoyingly
far flung places!
Since our equipment is hand portable, we are able to set-up on most
sites and retrieve a 2-inch core down to over 100-feet with minimal
set-up. In very soft situations, we can tailor a system, such as a
weight dispersion platform or raft, such that we can get onto tailings
piles that few conventional drilling rigs could access. We can even
wait for ice in the winter.
The fact that we can get a complete drilling package down to less
than 500 lbs make mobilization a snap. If you can fly in or drive
in, we can usually get our equipment in also.
Our system has been successfully used at sites in Canada and throughout
South America.
