There are two main methods of exploration drilling - core drilling and reverse circulation drilling (usually referred to as RC). Core drilling, yields a solid, cylinder shaped sample of the ground at an exact depth. Reverse circulation (RC) drilling, yields a crushed sample, comprising cuttings from a fairly well determined depth in the hole. Beyond that, the drill hole itself can provide a complementary amount of information, particularly by logging using devices to detect physical anomalies, similar to the geophysical surveys mentioned above.

To quantify the mineralization, and to define the shape, size and metal content of the deposit, a step by step procedure in exploration activities is required. Geologists examine the information at hand and then recommend whether further drilling is required or not.

In the majority of cases, mining will start with open-pit excavation, gradually turning into underground mining once the waste to ore ratio becomes too excessive.

While exploration has never been as challenging as it is today, advances in technology have meant that the most arduous and repetitive tasks of drilling can be confidently overcome &#; largely thanks to the rapid progress of advanced control systems and automation. Safety is always a priority too. Features such as guards, built-in interlocks and increased automation to eliminate dangerous tasks has lead to a significant increase in safety for operators.
