Ground conditions
Hard formations, fractured zones, collapsing holes and poor recovery can change bit wear, metres per shift and casing requirements.

What changes a project price?
02
Site access
Remote mobilisation, bad roads, security escorts, water trucking and standby time are priced once the access route is understood.
03
Testing scope
Sample preparation, fire assay, duplicates, standards, moisture checks and reporting format affect laboratory time and consumables.
04
Haul profile
Truck cycle time depends on payload, loading method, haul distance, road condition, tipping delay and whether night shifts are required.

Quote FAQs
How close is the estimator to a final quote?
It is useful for early budgeting. A firm quote is issued after we review site location, access, geology, quantities, mobilisation and project timing.
Can drilling, assay and haulage be combined?
Yes. Combined programmes are common, and they usually reduce coordination delays because one operations team controls the handovers.
Are rates fixed for the full project?
Quoted rates are fixed for the approved scope and validity period. Variations are agreed when quantities, location or ground conditions change materially.
