Comprehensive mining and exploration support.

Mechanized auger drilling & sampling

GGCL focuses on mechanized auger drilling of target zones delineated by clients. Our man-portable equipment can reach approximately 10–30 metres where ground conditions permit, with the aim of intersecting saprolitic material and continuing according to client objectives.

• Mechanical spiral-rod / Big Beaver-type auger capability.
• Approximately 100 mm bit diameter and up to 30 m maximum depth where conditions permit.
• Portable equipment suited to poorly accessible terrain with reduced need for dozer access.
• No drilling chemicals required; fuel-powered operation and relatively narrow line-cutting access.
• Strong emphasis on approved safety practice, sample quality and environmental protocols.

Project management & logistics supplies

• Representation of foreign companies.
• Advice on concession acquisition and permitting.
• Design of exploration programs.
