Exploration, geotechnical and environmental drilling
Paycore Drilling was founded in 2008 as an independent contractor servicing the mineral exploration industry in British Columbia, Western Canada, and across North America.
Today Paycore is a multi-faceted service, providing not only diamond drilling to the mineral exploration industry, but a full complement of drilling equipment to service other industries within Western Canada.
Exploration
Heli-portable fly drills for remote mountain tops, and skid-mounted deep-hole core drills for year-round drilling to 1600 m.
Geotechnical
Site investigation, sampling and testing with track-mounted drills, plus monitor wells and slope indicators for transportation projects.
Environmental
Drilling and sampling for contaminated site investigation and oil & gas projects.
“They have proven to be a reliable and productive drill company who produces excellent recovery.”
Getting to your site
Soft ground or heavy traffic
A track-mounted drill handles soft ground, saturated soils and busy sites.
No road
A skid-mounted drill with a dozer to build your trail will get you there.
Too far to build a trail
A helicopter will open up parts of the world you never thought possible to drill.
