Results for tag: "Core Drilling"

Core drilling is a type of mining equipment used to extract core samples from the earth. It is typically used in mineral exploration and mining operations to determine the composition of the earth's subsurface. Core drilling is a specialized form of rotary drilling, where a hollow drill bit is used to extract a cylindrical core of rock from the earth. The core is then analyzed to determine the mineral content of the rock. Core drilling is often used in conjunction with other mining equipment, such as diamond drilling, to provide a more comprehensive picture of the subsurface. Core drilling is a critical component of the mining industry, as it provides valuable information about the composition of the earth's subsurface. This information is used to determine the feasibility of mining operations and to plan for the extraction of minerals. Some companies in the core drilling market include Boart Longyear, Atlas Copco, Sandvik, and Mincon. Show Less Read more
