Surface drilling demands equipment and crews that can perform consistently across changing terrain, weather, and access conditions. From steep mountain programs to road-access sites and deep campaigns, our teams bring the experience, planning, and discipline needed to deliver predictable results. With purpose-built rigs, a strong safety system, and a focus on efficiency, we help clients achieve confident target intersections in some of the world’s most challenging surface environments.
Our surface drilling setups are designed to match the terrain, access, and conditions of each program. Whether the job calls for skid, fly, barge, track, or ice-supported configurations, our rigs and crews adapt quickly and safely.

Tackling the toughest terrain, our skid-mounted configuration delivers fast moves, minimal downtime, and powerful, reliable drilling.
The Tech 5000 flies easily by A-Star or Jet Ranger, with sub-1,650-lb components and strong NQ/HQ performance.
A mobile configuration built for rugged ground, enabling smooth relocation where skids are impractical or terrain is highly variable.
Our patented casing clamp and orientation systems enable safe, low-load barge drilling with precise angled holes.
Lightweight rigs and a patented anchoring system let us drill safely on ice with no added surface load.
Drilling at elevation demands more than the right equipment—it requires experienced crews, careful logistics, and an understanding of how altitude affects people and performance. Our teams are well-versed in high-altitude operations, managing access, weather, and safety with precision so clients can drill confidently on ridgelines, peaks, and remote mountain terrain.
Surface conditions can change fast, and our crews are trained to work safely and efficiently through shifting temperatures, storms, freeze–thaw cycles, and seasonal extremes. With disciplined planning, reliable equipment, and clear work instructions, we help keep programs moving—whether it’s mid-winter, peak summer, or anything in between.
We take care to minimize our footprint on every surface program. From efficient water systems and responsible cuttings management to careful site restoration, our crews work with respect for the land and surrounding communities. Beyond using track-mounted setups to reduce ground disturbance, we’ve even adapted our drills with camouflage strategies and noise-dampening solutions to support sensitive environments and reduce our presence where it matters most.
Specialized drilling solutions designed to solve unique access, technical, and environmental challenges without compromising safety or performance.
Underground drilling executed with technical discipline, experienced crews and a safety-first approach in complex, confined environment.
We support skid-mounted, fly (heli-supported), barge, track-mounted, and ice drilling configurations, adapting each setup to site conditions and access.
Yes. Our lightweight, modular equipment—especially the Tech 5000—is designed for efficient helicopter moves and challenging terrain, including steep slopes and high-altitude locations.
We do. Our crews operate safely and efficiently through seasonal extremes, from winter conditions to summer heat, using detailed planning and clear work instructions.
Absolutely. We integrate Navi-drilling, wedging, surveying, and continuous-coring directional systems into surface programs whenever precision steering or course correction is required.
Yes. Our teams are experienced in high-elevation logistics, weather management, and safety considerations, ensuring reliable performance in mountainous terrain.
