OUR SERVICES
Exploration
Mineral exploration drilling is our speciality. Either using diamond core drilling or reverse circulation drilling.Our work is generally associated with drilling epithermal deposits situated in the "Pacific Rim of Fire". From Papua New Guinea, through Indonesia and now based in the Philippines, these deposits are generally found in inhospitable terrain in Countries with emerging economies, poor logistics and social sensitivities.

Geotechnical Drilling
The range of diamond drills used in mineral drilling is also conducive to geotechnical drilling programmes. Considerable experience in this field has been gained from projects such as Ok Tedi and Porgera in Papua New Guinea. The UPD management team has been associated with Clients such as Snowy Mountains Engineering Company, PNG Electricity Commission, Golders and Coffee's to name a few, and has a strong understanding of geotechnical requirements.More Info
