The multi-purpose advantage
RC and Diamond Core in the same hole, with the same rig – switched mid-way with minimal effort or downtime. No second rig on site, a lower all-in average cost per metre.

“Keegan has drilled over 180,000 meters at Esaase and it is the opinion of our seasoned geological staff that the powerful UDR-900 drill rigs, in Geodrill’s safe, capable, and efficient hands, are simply four times faster than your average RC rig and twice as fast as your average Core rig. Geodrill is simply head and shoulders above the competition and we will continue to use them for all our advanced drill projects”
“We value the opportunity to work with a high-quality contractor such as Geodrill. Their commitment to maintaining a safe working environment, respecting local communities and delivering reliable drilling services has supported our exploration success and helped reduce execution risk as the Company advances its projects towards development. Geodrill’s operations in Côte d’Ivoire have also delivered meaningful cost efficiencies through well-maintained rigs, consistently high drilling productivity and a collaborative, solutions-focused approach to resolving operational challenges and achieving results.”
“I just want to say thanks heaps for all the assistance Geodrill has provided to make these 3 different and challenging programs happen. I have never worked with a drilling outfit so prepared to go that extra to help a client.”
“We have been very impressed at Trevali with the drilling services provided by Recon Drilling’ said Yan Bourassa, Vice- President of Technical Services & Exploration for Trevali Mining. ‘Recon Drilling has exceeded the expected daily production while maintaining impeccable recoveries and a safety track record.”
“My engagement with Geodrill has been both in regards to supporting their commercial operations in Ghana and the region, and also particularly in the area of their corporate social responsibility activities in Ghana. I have been greatly impressed with Geodrill in both regards. To the best of my knowledge, Geodrill always operates to the highest ethical standards. It is an innovative and forward-thinking company, and also a company that cares about the people and the communities it works in.”
“Geodrill is without exception by far the most able and well equipped drilling company we have employed in West Africa. Its rigs are always maintained to the highest standards, break downs are all but unheard of, lost time incidents are extremely rare and it is completely self sufficient and needs little to no input from Azumah staff. I can honestly say that Geodrill would be by far the best drilling company in all respects that I have encountered.”
“Geodrill has been a major contributor to Perseus’ success in Ghana, and they have conducted their work with a high regard for safety and the environment whilst at all times maintaining high rates of drill production. I expect Geodrill to remain a drill contractor of choice as we continue to aggressively drill out ore on the Central Ashanti Gold Project.”
“Geodrill maintained significantly higher drilling rates at Banfora Gold Project, while producing very good quality samples. Gryphon Minerals are committed to increased drilling in Burkina Faso, using additional drilling capability provided by Geodrill”
