1550 Diamond Drill Rig | Safer, Smarter, Stronger Posted on January 21, 2025May 29, 2025 by georgia The future of diamond drilling is here — and it’s bold, safe, and operator-focused. Ausdrill’s new 1550TH Diamond Drill Rig is redefining industry standards with a caged barrier system, AI-enhanced safety zones, and remote operation via Cortex™ software. Designed from the ground up for performance and protection, the 1550TH takes on tough ground without compromising on safety or speed. With 9 meters of mast travel and a powerful electric-over-hydraulic setup, the rig delivers 9-meter rod pulls in a single pass. Whether collaring, pulling rods, or relocating between sites, automation and remote monitoring streamline every part of the process. Technology That Works for People We spoke to Operations Supervisor Jesse Herbert about how the 1550TH is changing the field experience. Built with feedback from drillers, this rig prioritises visibility, safety, and simplicity — even for newer operators. From AI-enabled exclusion zones to hands-free operation and simplified training, the 1550TH is built for those who do the work. Want to see innovation in softer terrain?

Unlocking Precision | Ausdrill’s Multidirectional Drilling Capabilities Posted on November 27, 2023May 29, 2025 by georgia Multidirectional drilling is a game-changer in exploration and resource recovery, and at Ausdrill, we lead the way with proven results in complex, hard-to-reach environments. Our multidirectional drilling capability brings together operator expertise, fit-for-purpose rigs, and real-time problem-solving to target complex ore bodies in challenging terrain. This flexible approach allows us to drill at multiple angles from a single drill pad, boosting recovery while reducing environmental impact and overall project costs. From navigating surface restrictions to reaching layered deposits, Ausdrill crews have the experience and adaptability to keep the drill turning and the data flowing — even when conditions shift unexpectedly. Experience Meets Precision in Multidirectional Drilling Multidirectional drilling isn’t just about technology — it’s about people. At Ausdrill, we draw on decades of hands-on experience, combining agile planning with custom rigs and field intelligence to deliver results where others might stop. Tools like COMPASS™ software help support trajectory control and data tracking, but it’s our people who make the system work. With experience across angled access, constrained sites, and dynamic geology, Ausdrill’s multidirectional drilling services help maximise return on every drill pad.
