Silver City Drilling is an industry leader in the delivery of efficient and flexible drilling programs in the mineral exploration and mining industry. With a combined total of over 50 years’ mineral drilling experience across Australia, Silver City Drilling consistently delivers successful programs within time frames and schedules as well as within budget expectations. For example, Silver City Drilling was one of the first companies to master deep directional diamond holes, a practice that allows for a significant reduction in client expenditure by requiring less drill sites to cover mineralisation cross-sections and minimising excess overburden material requiring diamond coring.
