John Walsh, Senior Underground Mine Geologist, Norton Gold Fields

HMR Drilling have been contracted to Norton Gold Fields to conduct underground drilling every year since I joined the company in 2014 (and probably before I arrived) and have kept up a very positive long-term relationship during this time.

HMR Drilling are our first choice for underground drilling because, first and foremost, they have an exceptional safety record; they are also professional, and easy to communicate and work with. HMR are always reasonable regarding the contracts, have competitive pricing, achieve good drilling metres consistent with designs, and excellent core presentation.

The drilling supervisors go the extra mile on site, assisting with site preparations and communicating with all stake holders (mine foreman, planning engineers and geologists). For these reasons, I highly recommend HMR Drilling.

HMR have provided the Beta Hunt Mine with quality and reliable underground diamond drilling services for over 5 years. Their site personnel are a friendly group that manage day to day challenges professionally and are committed to working safely while achieving or surpassing productivity targets.

The Beta Hunt mine has been operating for decades and is a dual commodity operation and as such drillers are presented with a range of site situations and drilling conditions that HMR deal with regularly.

I would recommend HMR to other companies with underground operations and appreciate the relationship that the Beta Hunt Mine shares with HMR Drilling Service.
