Data Mining

Discover the transformative difference accurate daily data capture can make to your project’s operational efficiency.

The simple act of focussing on drilling time or ‘bit on bottom’ maximises safe drilling operations while instilling important operational focus and discipline at site among personnel.

Case in point: daily data capture proved integral in identifying inefficiencies at a remote project exposed to extreme weather and highly specific local regulations regarding maximum working hours and conditions. Efficiencies were quickly realised once necessary yet seemingly basic site changes were implemented resulting in more metres in one season than three previous seasons combined and with the same team and equipment.

“In four short years, Craig transformed Barrick’s drilling operations from satisfactory to best-in-class. Craig’s contribution to the minerals exploration industry is widespread and recognised significantly improving operating standards, reducing and preventing fatalities and serious injuries, while improving productivity, saving time and money.

Craig was Barrick’s representative on a key multinational collaborative research project – Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre. The largest program by far was the drilling component, and a key outcome was the development of an innovative coiled tube drilling rig.

While at Barrick, Craig invested considerable time to train and develop his team into an integrated team of professionals that our exploration group heavily relied on. Craig’s readiness to guide and share is just one attribute that differentiates him from other subject matter experts. He’s highly regarded and respected. Notably, Craig’s expertise and commitment led to Barrick Nevada’s minerals exploration division instituting best-in class standards, elevating the group to the industry’s forefront.”
