Diamond Drilling

The CED100 can also be configured around different mobilisation strategies, including tracked and more portable arrangements depending on the project. That matters because shallow exploration isn't always easy-access exploration. Sometimes the target is only 100 metres deep.

The Toyota Land Cruiser 79 has earned its reputation across mining, exploration and remote operations because it can operate in places where conventional road vehicles quickly become unhappy.

At Cylinder Exploration Drilling (CED), we are currently supporting an active heli-portable diamond drilling programme in remote tropical terrain. It is a practical example of what happens when drilling equipment, experienced crews, helicopter logistics, consumables and operational planning all have to work together.

Until the exploration target happens to be halfway up a mountain, deep inside a tropical jungle or several days from the nearest usable road.

Inside remote exploration licences where getting a conventional drill rig to the target can become almost as complicated as drilling the hole itself.

The concept combines specialised exploration drilling equipment with rugged 6x6 mobility, support vehicles and modular trailer systems to create something bigger than an individual drill rig.

The CED100 Diamond Core Drill Rig has been designed specifically for man-portable, heli-portable and remote-access diamond drilling, giving exploration companies a compact drilling solution for geological targets where mobility is critical.

CED recently supplied a client in Mali, West Africa, with a fresh shipment of drilling chemicals and consumables to support an ongoing gold exploration program using the CED100 Diamond Drill Rig.

At Cylinder Exploration Drilling (CED), quality is not an optional extra. It is fundamental to how we design, manufacture, supply, and support drilling equipment for the global mining and mineral exploration industry.

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.

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.

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:

In the mining and mineral exploration sector, the right equipment makes all the difference. Drilling is a critical phase in exploration. It determines the viability of a project. Reliable drilling rigs ensure that data collected is accurate and actionable. This accuracy is essential for making informed decisions about resource extraction. Complete Range of Exploration Diamond Drilling Rigs Cylinder Exploration offers a full range of diamond core drilling rigs to suit every st

In remote exploration, access is everything. When terrain is steep, roads are limited, and mobilization costs can make or break a project, equipment size and portability become critical. The CED100 Core Drill Rig is engineered specifically for these environments—delivering reliable core drilling performance in a compact, lightweight system designed for man-portability and helicopter transport. Compact Size, Big Capability The CED100 is built with a small footprint and modular
