Decode key drilling metrics series 👇🏼 This week: Rig Utilisation. How much drilling time are you actually getting? Rig Utilisation measures the percentage of planned hours a rig spends drilling. Every unplanned event adds to downtime and costs money, so tracking this metric helps benchmark your rigs and compare their overall performance. For mining & exploration teams, tracking Rig Utilisation helps you spot delays like long rig moves, slow sample collection, or extended standby that eat into your budget. For drilling contractors, a low Rig Utilisation could mean too much time spent on crew changeovers, equipment breakdowns, or waiting for instructions. Fixing these issues means more metres drilled and fewer wasted hours. Want to know the 10 essential metrics every drilling operation should track?

Let’s decode key drilling metrics. 👇🏼 This week: Pen Rate. It tells you how fast you're drilling, but what happens when it suddenly drops? Is it increased rock hardness, dull bit, or something else slowing you down? For mining and exploration teams, tracking Pen Rate trends helps spot problem zones early, such as whether drilling is on schedule or falling behind. This makes it easier to adjust drilling strategies as needed. For drilling supervisors, monitoring Pen Rate helps you optimise bit selection and drilling parameters so you can drill faster without sacrificing sample quality or burning through consumables. Understanding Pen Rate is key, but it’s just one piece of the equation.

What are your drilling metrics trying to tell you? 👇🏼 First up: Cost Per Metre (CPM). This key metric reveals how ground conditions, drilling techniques, contractor rates, and logistics impact your costs. For geos, tracking CPM trends reveals if you’re getting maximum value from your drilling spend. For drillers, keeping tabs on CPM ensures you’re pricing jobs competitively while protecting your margins. CPM is one piece of the puzzle - get the full picture in our cheatsheet: https://hubs.ly/Q039m2DY0 #MiningTech #drillemfillembillem

Mining companies are facing increasing pressure to accurately track resource usage, especially diesel, to meet ESG standards in 2025. With this new update in CorePlan, it’s now easier for mining and exploration teams to remain compliant and transparent in their sustainability reporting. When equipment is logged, you can choose to have required fields for consumables like diesel and water automatically appear in the app. Your field team will then be prompted to record the amounts used. Learn how mining teams use CorePlan to run compliant drill programs: https://hubs.ly/Q038Jvbq0 #ESG #Miningandmetals #miningindustry

Fewer disputes. Happier Clients. Faster approvals for Drilling Contractors. Save time, and more importantly your sanity, when issuing progress claims and invoices to speed up your time to cash. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gNiEmTJA

Track every metre. Catch every cost. Like James Parkes from Fortescue's resource definition team. #miningtech #drillbabydrill #drillingmetrics

We get it. Drilling is expensive and you already know that inaccurate drilling data means less meters being drilled, and more added risk to your analysis.

The gang is getting back together for a chilly trip to Toronto for Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) ! Be sure to say ‘Hey’ to Christian Maudet, Gabriel {GabO} Furlong and Alex Goulios at the conference (who will be in far more practical footwear than depicted) or hit us up to schedule in a meeting to make sure your paths cross at this massive event. #pdac #pdac2025 #CorePlan #freethegeos #drillbabydrill #drillemfillembillem
