Where Are Our Core Drill Rigs Used?

● Mining Exploration & Mineral Prospecting

Our core drilling machines for mining are widely deployed in gold, copper, silver, iron ore, coal, and rare earth mineral exploration projects. Wireline diamond core drilling technology ensures high core recovery rates with minimal sample disturbance, giving geologists the accurate subsurface data they need to assess ore body grade and continuity.

Suitable models: JCD300, JCD400, JCD1000, JCD1500

● Geological Survey & Geotechnical Investigation

Core drill rigs from JC Drill are trusted by geological survey teams for stratigraphic analysis, fault structure studies, and ground condition assessments ahead of infrastructure development. Our rigs handle complex rock formations including granite, basalt, limestone, and fractured zones.

● Core Sample Drilling for Laboratory Analysis

When precise core sample drilling is required for laboratory testing — including compressive strength tests, mineralogical analysis, and environmental studies — our diamond wireline core rigs deliver intact, undisturbed samples with consistent diameter and high recovery rates across NQ, HQ, and PQ core sizes.

● Underground Mining Core Drilling

JC Drill's underground core drilling rigs are purpose-built for confined underground environments. Compact dimensions, 360° drilling angle capability, and high torque output make them ideal for lateral, inclined, and downward drilling in underground mine development and ore body delineation.

● Geothermal & Hydrology Exploration

Core drilling rigs are also used in geothermal resource assessment and hydrological investigations, where understanding subsurface rock permeability and temperature gradients requires continuous core sampling at depth.

Why Choose JC Drill Core Drilling Rigs?

① Full Hydraulic System — Precise Control at Every Depth

All JC Drill core drilling rigs use a full hydraulic drive system, providing stepless speed control and consistent drilling pressure from surface to target depth. This translates directly into higher core recovery rates and less bit wear — reducing your overall cost per meter drilled.

② Wireline Diamond Core Technology — Industry Gold Standard

Our rigs are built around wireline coring technology, allowing the core barrel to be retrieved without pulling the entire drill string. This dramatically reduces round-trip time in deep holes (500m+), cutting non-productive time by up to 60% compared to conventional coring methods.

③ Drilling Depth Range: 50m to 2,500m

From lightweight portable units for shallow soil sampling and reconnaissance drilling, to heavy crawler-mounted rigs capable of reaching 2,500m in hard crystalline rock — JC Drill covers the full depth spectrum with a single product family.

④ Multiple Mounting Options to Match Your Site

● Portable / Skid-mounted — for remote access, helicopter-supported, or man-portable operations

● Crawler-mounted — for self-propelled mobility across rugged, steep, or muddy terrain

● Truck-mounted — for road-accessible sites requiring rapid mobilization between drill holes

⑤ High Core Recovery Rate — Reliable Geological Data

Consistent core recovery is critical for exploration investment decisions. JC Drill rigs paired with our diamond core bits and double-tube core barrels routinely achieve recovery rates above 90% in competent rock, and above 75% in fractured or weathered formations.

⑥ Compatible with NQ / HQ / PQ Core Sizes

Our core drill machines support industry-standard wireline core sizes including NQ (47.6mm core), HQ (63.5mm core), and PQ (85mm core), ensuring compatibility with all major laboratory analysis workflows and core logging procedures.
