Mining exploration
NECSER supports mining companies, junior exploration firms and engineering consultancies in carrying out drilling programmes. Our services are centred on safety, sample quality, data traceability and adherence to the programme agreed with the client.
We can provide a targeted service or a more comprehensive solution, including mobilisation, site preparation, drilling, support with sample management and daily reporting.
RC drilling — reverse circulation
RC drilling is offered for exploration programmes, target identification and, depending on the client’s programme, grade control. Prior to mobilisation, NECSER assesses the planned depths, diameters, expected geology, site accessibility and the necessary support equipment.
During the campaign, monitoring focuses in particular on metres drilled, operating hours, consumption, downtime, drilling conditions and sample recovery.

Diamond core drilling
NECSER offers core sampling services tailored to the geological and geotechnical objectives of the programme. The method, diameter, consumables and recovery methods are determined based on the depth, rock formation and expected sample quality.
The cores are handled and transported in accordance with the procedures agreed with the client’s geological team.

Campaign preparation and support
An effective campaign begins with thorough preparation. NECSER can assist with the development of access routes and platforms, the organisation of water, air, fuel and consumables, as well as the mobilisation and demobilisation of equipment.
Logistical requirements, seasonal constraints and HSE measures are reviewed prior to commencement.
