Three Drilling Methods. One Purpose-Built Rig.


The CED SFM7300 has been developed to support multiple drilling applications without compromising performance.


The rig is capable of:


  • Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling for high-quality chip sampling and resource definition.

  • Air Core drilling for fast, cost-effective early-stage mineral exploration.

  • Auger drilling for shallow sampling, geochemical surveys, and environmental investigations.


This multi-purpose capability provides exploration companies with greater flexibility while reducing the need for multiple specialist rigs.


Built on the Proven CED 6x6 Platform


Every CED SFM7300 is mounted on CED's purpose-built 6x6 exploration vehicle, designed specifically for mining and exploration projects operating in difficult terrain.


The platform delivers:


  • Exceptional off-road capability

  • High ground clearance

  • Excellent weight distribution

  • Superior traction in challenging conditions

  • Rapid mobilisation between drill sites

  • Reduced transport and mobilisation costs


Whether operating in deserts, tropical forests, mountain ranges, or remote exploration camps, the SFM7300 is engineered to keep drilling programmes moving.
