Rig 7 is an Atlas Copco Explorac 220RC. This rig is at the forefront of today’s technology and has a host of features. The rig is controlled via a portable remote drillers station which can be set up at a distance of up to 10 meters away.  This allows the driller maximum visibility of the rig and sampling area.  The rigs engine, compressor and hydraulic systems are electronically monitored. The drilling information, performance, eventual alarms and discrepancy reports are shown on an all weather display, that together with operational levers, make up the drillers station. These features, combined with the features below and the general lay out of the machine make it the most user friendly rig of its kind. Rig 7 also has a fully silenced power pack which reduces noise to the industry’s highest standards. As with all our exploration rigs, Rig 7 is setup for RC mineral exploration, resource definition and water bore drilling.
