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 design, allowing it to operate efficiently in confined or environmentally sensitive areas. Its compact structure minimizes site preparation and disturbance while still providing the stability and power required for professional core drilling.

Key size advantages include:


  • Compact overall dimensions for tight or uneven terrain

  • Modular components that can be broken down into manageable sections

  • Lightweight assemblies designed for easy handling and transport


This makes the CED100 ideal for early-stage exploration, remote prospecting, and projects where access is limited.


True Man-Portability


One of the standout features of the CED100 is its man-portable configuration. Each module is designed to be carried by a small crew without the need for heavy machinery.

Benefits of man-portability:

  • Access areas where vehicles cannot reach

  • Reduced mobilization costs and logistics

  • Faster setup and demobilization

  • Greater flexibility for remote or difficult terrain

Whether working in dense bush, mountainous regions, or environmentally sensitive zones, crews can move and assemble the rig efficiently on site.


Helicopter-Ready for Remote Operations


For projects located deep in inaccessible areas, the CED100 is also heli-portable. The modular components are sized and weighted to allow for safe sling-load transport, enabling rapid deployment into remote locations.

Heli-portable advantages:

  • Quick mobilization to isolated exploration sites

  • Reduced need for road construction or ground access

  • Lower environmental impact

  • Ideal for mountainous, forested, or protected areas

This capability makes the CED100 a practical solution for exploration programs where speed, access, and minimal disturbance are priorities.

Designed for Exploration Efficiency


The CED100 combines portability with dependable drilling performance, allowing exploration teams to:

  • Reach more targets faster

  • Reduce logistics and transport costs

  • Operate in challenging environments

  • Maintain productivity with a small field crew


The Bottom Line


The CED100 Core Drill Rig proves that powerful drilling capability doesn’t require oversized equipment. Wit

delivers the mobility modern exploration demands—without compromising performance.

If your project requires drilling where access is limited and efficiency matters, the CED100 is built to get you there.
