AN EXPLORATION DRILLING TEAM THAT DELIVERS We have a highly skilled and experienced team with a decade of drilling experience in PNG. The team is strongly supported by top-line PNG national drillers, most of whom have been with us from the beginning. Our policy of employing and training people from the local area ensures that this experience and expertise will continue to grow, and the local economy will reap the benefits into the future. Our investment in our people in PNG has had flow-on benefits to the extent that we now have PNG fitters living in Australia, working at our open cut mining projects.
We support local communities through donations and sponsorships
Our sponsorship of the Tabubil Cats has enabled them to compete in rugby union tournaments in Sydney and on the Gold Coast
RELIABLE SUPPLY NETWORK To help support this team, we have dedicated logistics and maintenance teams with extensive in-country experience. The PNG and Asia Pacific zone can be a logistically challenging area to work in. That’s why we’ve focussed on developing trusted and successful relationships with our PNG and Australian supply partners over the past decade. This enables us to deliver on our targeted outcomes, and ensure that we’re also supporting the local businesses and communities where we work. These partners currently include Alton Drilling, Sandvik Exploration, Australian Drilling Institute, Applus Velosi JDA and Imdex.
WE OFFER CONTRACT FLEXIBILITY We tailor contracts based on specific client and commercial drivers that often differ from project to project. At Downer EDI Mining Exploration Drilling, we back our ability to deliver the best results possible to every one of our clients.
