Yet the global mining landscape is changing rapidly. Rising demand, ageing mines, declining ore grades, water shortages, and increasing operating costs are creating new challenges for the world's leading copper producer.

Designed for mining companies, underground drilling contractors, and exploration teams, the CED SFM7500 delivers reliable diamond drilling performance while reducing mobilisation time and operating costs.

Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in mineral exploration, processing infrastructure, international partnerships and advanced manufacturing as it works to build a globally competitive mining industry.The ambition is significant.

Designed for remote operations, the SFM7400 allows drilling contractors and project owners to reach locations where conventional truck-mounted drilling rigs are often unable to operate efficiently.

From skyscrapers and bridges to railways, ports, renewable energy infrastructure, and manufacturing, steel remains the backbone of modern civilisation—and Australia remains its largest supplier.

Built for exploration companies and drilling contractors operating in remote environments, the SFM7300 provides outstanding mobility, operational efficiency, and reliable drilling performance wherever the project takes you.

For decades, Zambia has been synonymous with copper. Its vast mineral wealth helped build one of Africa's largest mining industries, supplying copper to the global economy for generations.

Whether operating in Africa, Australia, South America, North America, or the Middle East, the SFM7200 provides exploration companies with a highly mobile and efficient drilling solution.

As governments and industries race toward electrification, one metal sits at the center of the global energy transition:

Built around a highly capable 6x6 vehicle platform, the SFM Series combines exceptional off-road performance, transport efficiency, and drilling capability into a single integrated solution.

From rare earth elements and graphite to refined lithium and battery materials, China has spent decades building a strategic position that now influences everything from electric vehicles to national security.As demand for critical minerals accelerates, the question is becoming increasingly urgent:

On 4 June 2026, CED attended the BACC XIV Business Networking Day, one of the most established business networking forums connecting the United Kingdom and Argentina. For more than three decades, the event has brought together business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers seeking new opportunities for international trade, investment, and strategic partnerships.

For mining companies, uranium is once again attracting serious attention. Exploration programs are increasing globally as companies look to define new resources and expand existing operations.

Air Core drilling remains one of the most effective and cost-efficient methods for early-stage mineral exploration. As exploration programs continue to expand globally, the demand for reliable Air Core equipment, quality consumables, and experienced drilling personnel has never been greater.

The mining industry is searching for the next major source of critical minerals. As demand for battery metals continues to rise, governments and mining companies are looking beyond traditional mining regions.And increasingly, attention is turning toward the ocean floor.

Mining and exploration projects in remote regions require dependable equipment support and rapid access to drilling consumables. CED continues to support operations in Mali through:

Africa contains some of the world’s most prospective and underexplored mineral regions.From the Central African Copperbelt to emerging lithium districts in Southern Africa, the continent is attracting growing international attention. Several factors are driving renewed exploration:

Through attendance at key mining events and ongoing business development activity in London, CED continues to strengthen its position within the international mining industry. Our focus remains on supporting exploration projects with dependable drilling equipment, consumables, and turnkey operational solutions.

Argentina forms part of the world-famous “Lithium Triangle” alongside Chile and Bolivia.

Cylinder Exploration Drilling (CED) attended the PDAC 2026 in Toronto during early March 2026, engaging with mining and exploration companies from across the globe.
