Experience Where it Counts
Drilling & Field Operations
Every drilling project presents different ground conditions, access requirements, depths, logistics, and operational challenges. LSG Drilling combines experienced crews, capable equipment, field support, and responsive project coordination to build drilling operations around the needs of each project.
Our capabilities are designed to support mineral exploration and core drilling programs from mobilization through active field operations and project completion.
Equipment, tooling, and field operations configured around exploration objectives, ground conditions, and core recovery requirements.
Down-hole survey capability supporting accurate borehole orientation and field information throughout active drilling programs.
Equipment and field planning designed to support projects where access, transportation, terrain, and logistics require additional preparation.
Support equipment, project coordination, communication, and responsive field resources designed to keep drilling operations moving.
Remote Capabilities
Built for Beyond the Road
Some drilling projects begin where conventional access ends. LSG is prepared to support operations where terrain, distance, weather, transportation, or site access create additional logistical demands.
From conventional mobilization to remote field operations, LSG works with project teams to develop an approach based around the actual conditions of the site.
