West Core Drilling

At West Core Drilling, we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing top-quality diamond drilling services, with a focus on remote location and multi-purpose drilling operations. We understand the importance of delivering superior core samples and ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction. Our team of experienced professionals, state-of-the-art equipment, and commitment to safety make us the ideal choice for your next diamond drilling program.

Our company was founded in 2006 by Scott Eaton, who has over two decades of experience in the drilling industry. His vision was to create a smaller, specialist diamond drilling company that could provide clients with better service and a superior product. Over the years, we have successfully built a reputation for delivering high-quality core recovery, good production, and excellent core presentation.

We are dedicated to maintaining a robust safety culture, with all staff actively participating in the constant improvement of our Safety Management System. Our rigs are equipped with safe T Spin automated rod spinners, and our jack-up and track-mounted rigs minimize any working at heights issues.

Our fleet comprises a range of rigs to facilitate drilling in a variety of different environments. Whether you need access to hard-to-reach areas, extended track variants to minimize ground pressure for salt lakes, or deep-hole rigs to drill multiple intersections at >2,000m, we have the flexibility to meet your needs. We believe this provides our clients with access to the most flexible fleet of diamond drill rigs in Western Australia.
