Optimizing Equipment Costs in Geological Exploration

Equipment costs represent a significant portion of exploration budgets. Choosing the right rigs, such as exploration coring drill rigs, is essential for financial efficiency.

Cost-Effective Equipment Strategies

• Investing in Multi-Function Rigs: Portable full-hydraulic core drilling rigs can perform multiple tasks, reducing the need for additional equipment.

• Routine Maintenance: Regular servicing of geological survey drill rigs minimizes downtime and repair costs.

• Core Recovery Efficiency: High-quality mineral core sampling rigs reduce waste, ensuring more value from each drilling operation.

Leasing vs. Purchasing

• Leasing Benefits: Ideal for short-term projects, offering flexibility and lower upfront costs.

• Purchasing Advantages: Better for long-term projects, providing full control and cost predictability.

Case Study

A silver exploration project in Africa saved $1 million by upgrading to portable full-hydraulic core drilling rigs with advanced telemetry features.
