Paycore Drilling

Drilling equipment

Heli-portable, skid-mounted and track-mounted hydraulic drills for remote exploration and geotechnical work.

Discovery II heli-portable track drill

Discovery II heli-portable track drill

These unique drills can be flown into a site, much the same way a conventional heli-portable drill is flown. Once onsite and assembled, the drill can be driven onsite without the assistance of a helicopter. This drill offers the best of both worlds, being able to access sites that would be typically limited to heli-portable drilling, but with the efficiency of a track drill. Very little pad prep is required, and the drill moves are not limited by weather conditions that can limit an aircraft.

Ease of use and quick, simple tear-down and setup make this drill an incredibly safe and efficient remote-access diamond drill.

  • 1600 m BQ capacity
  • 1280 m NQ capacity
  • 870 m HQ capacity
  • B20 drill head standard (XP head optional)
  • PQ capability
  • Folding work platforms; wood pad not required
  • Hydraulic levelling system
  • 18,000 lb hydraulic recovery winch
Titan deep hole skid drill

Titan deep hole skid drill

These drills were designed and built to address the need for a safe, high-performance, deep-hole drill that is highly functional in the challenging terrain and conditions encountered in B.C., Yukon, and Western Canada.

An excellent choice for your large-diameter PQ coring requirements, and a real performer with conventional NQ and HQ core barrels.

Excellent guarding and safety features make this core drill equally at home on a remote exploration site in the Yukon or a developed mine site in British Columbia.

  • 1600 m NQ depth capacity
  • 1100 m HQ depth capacity
  • 700 m PQ depth capacity
  • Cummins 6.7L 6-cylinder turbo diesel
  • 25,000 lb hoist
  • Tower: 20 ft rod pull capacity
  • XP drill head
  • Enclosed, heated skid shack

MP1000 man-portable drill

MP1000 man-portable drill

Rated depths with Quad Power:

  • NQ to depths of 1000 m (3300 ft)
  • HQ to depths of 550 m (1815 ft)
Multi-purpose track drill

Multi-purpose track drill

Designed and built using everything we learned in the diamond drilling, geotechnical and environmental drilling fields.

Multi-purpose means this unit can take on your environmental project using solid stem auger up to 12 inches. If your geotechnical project needs accurate sampling and testing in challenging ground conditions, hollow stem auger will get you through your unstable formations. Diamond coring NQ to PQ will safely and efficiently get you the rock core you need, up to 1280 m (NQ).

  • 96-inch feed stroke
  • 29,000 lb pull-back force
  • 14,000 lb rotation torque
  • Hollow stem auger, solid stem auger, ODEX, diamond core
  • Safety guarding
  • Hydraulic levelling system
  • 18,000 lb hydraulic recovery winch
