At AMWD, we know we’re doing something right, because even as the Australian Mining Industry continues to contract our rig utilisation is far higher than the industry standard.

Strategically positioned yards in Victoria and the Northern Territory, world class equipment maintenance and customisation, quickly mobilised and fast moving rigs and a professional crew of trained drillers combine to deliver great results at a competitive price. Across the country, AMWD drill difficult holes at a fair and competitive price. ADITC Licensed Drillers and Supervisors as well as NT, SA, VIC, NSW and QLD Class 2 & 3 Licensed Water Bore Drillers

Reverse Circulation Drilling Experts

Our innovative Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling solutions offer you a safe, reliable and more cost effective way to obtain the highest quality mineral samples. The high speed and lower cost per metre of RC drilling makes it ideal for obtaining mineral samples in the early phases of an exploration project.

Our dedicated RC drilling specialists have extensive experience across Australia in the most geologically challenging locations. We understand that the accuracy and reliability of the samples obtained is imperative for effective mine planning and blasting. That’s why at AMWD we only employ proven techniques and procedures to achieve the best possible results by our highly skilled, experienced and qualified personnel.

Our fleet consists of modern equipment and RC Drill Rigs capable of executing RC drill programs at a range of hole depths, with truck and track mounted, large and small scale packages to accommodate all site access needs. We are familiar with working in either brownfield or remote greenfield projects with our extensive support mechanisms including field supervision, maintenance support and regional bases to ensure that efficient programs are run.

Diamond Core Drilling

Diamond drilling is the most informative and effective method of drilling used in exploration. AMWD Drilling provides fully orientated, the highest quality core samples with dual or triple tube applications through NQ, HQ and PQ core sizes.
AMMD provides superior samples through expansive knowledge of ground conditions, maintaining hole integrity, recovery and presentation of core and hole directions.
We can cater to your needs to provide the best possible outcomes for your project with our fleet of modern equipment and Diamond Drill Rigs. Execution of Diamond drill programs at a range of hole depths, with truck or track mounted, large or small scale packages to accommodate all site access needs. We are familiar with working in mining, brownfield or remote greenfield projects with our extensive support mechanisms including field supervision, maintenance support and regional bases to ensure that efficient programs are run.

Air Core Drilling

AMWD Specialises in Air Core Drilling supplying small cost effective first pass drilling. Air Core drilling is a superior drilling technique as, opposed to RAB, the sample contamination is minimised through the dual tube system. We understand the importance of sample quality, even with first pass drilling on a potential project. Our quality processes ensure that sample is attained to the best standard with riffle or cone splitting options available.

AMWD can also offer a RC face-sampling hammer (Slim line RC)  with the ability to sample basement during a RAB/Air Core program (prior to any further deep, large diameter RC program) without the need to change equipment, mobilise extra crews, provide improved surface access all with the economies of scale inherent in RAB/Air Core drilling.

Our professional services cater for remote drilling locations and include remote accommodation facilities and logistical support for the most difficult greenfield projects. Our extensive support mechanisms include field supervision, technical maintenance support and regional bases to ensure that efficient programs are run.
