COMPANY PROFILE-PAID ADVERTISEMENT Boart Longyear: Global, Innovative, Reliable More than 120 Years in the Industry Boart Longyear has been a leading drilling services and products provider for the mineral exploration industry for over 120 years. With more than 10,000 employees, Boart Longyear conducts contract drilling services in more than 40 countries and provides mining products to customers in over 100 countries. Reliable Global Drilling Solutions Boart Longyear Drilling Services is the global leader for minerals exploration with active drilling in more than 36 regional locations in North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe and Africa. They also serve mine development and production, environmental, infrastructure and energy markets. Boart Longyear is currently expanding its mine water services across the globe, allowing them to support mine sites around the world with a varied range of mine water services, including production, de-watering, re-injection, monitoring, geothermal and municipal wells. In North America, Boart Longyear also provides pump installation and servicing. Innovative Products for Increased Productivity In addition to delivering efficient drilling services worldwide, Boart Longyear is also the industry's leading surface and underground products provider, manufacturing both capital equipment and consumables. Boart Longyear has a history of developing safe, reliable and innovative drilling equipment. In 1958, Boart Longyear introduced the revolutionary wireline core retrieval system. The Boart Longyear engineering team continued to refine the initial system, resulting in the introduction of the patented Q® wireline system in 1966, which is the industry standard to this day. In 2012, Boart Longyear welcomed the 10UMX™ and the GTUMX™ diamond coring bit into their award winning family of Ultramatrix™ (UMX™) diamond coring bits. They also released the LS™600 Sonic Drill, support vehicle and tooling to the market. Designed to penetrate the hardest rock formations encountered, the 10UMX is a high-performance diamond coring bit with the freestcutting matrix available. The GTUMX is designed for shallow holes and conventional drilling for both exploration and geo-technical applications. By increasing the range of the UMX bits offered, drillers now have a high-performance, efficient bit for any type of ground condition. The SSUMX™, 07UMX™ and the 09UMX™ make up the rest of the UMX diamond coring bit family. Providing advanced sonic drill technology with innovative and patented designs, the LS600 rig delivers continuous-undisturbed core samples, less than 1% hole deviation, up to 80% waste reduction and faster penetration than conventional methods. The LS600 can reach depths up to 182 m (600 ft). The LS600 is an optimal choice for multiple markets—environmental, geo-technical/geo-construction, water and mining. Safety First—Always Throughout Boart Longyear's history of innovation and advancement, safety has remained the first priority in all activities— whether on-site drilling, or in their facilities developing and manufacturing products. Boart Longyear's Environmental Health and Safety leadership team has over 80 years of combined experience working on mine sites all over the world. With their teams, they continuously strive to push the envelope and exceed the highest safety standards, as they continue to develop one of the most thorough and advanced drilling safety programs in the industry. Global Convenience for Parts and Services Boart Longyear has recognized the need to have the right spare parts and services available in convenient regional locations.
