Renting an RC Drill Rig in Burkina Faso: What to Prepare Before You Ask for a Quote

A clear request gets a clear quote. When you ask to rent a reverse-circulation (RC) rig, these are the details that let us confirm the right configuration first time.

1. Target depth and hole diameter

How deep do you need to go, and at what diameter? Our PRD OZ RC has a 450 m RC capacity and drills 140 mm holes, so most surface exploration programmes fit comfortably.

2. Drilling angle

Vertical or inclined? The PRD OZ RC drills from 45° to 90°, with manual locks in 5° increments, and has a jib boom arm for rod handling during angle drilling.

3. Metres and number of holes

Total metres and the number of holes set the length of the campaign, which drives the rental duration.

4. Site location and access

Where is the site, and what are the roads like? The PRD OZ RC comes crawler- or truck-mounted, and the right choice depends on access.

5. Ground conditions

Tell us what you expect: hard rock, broken ground, water. It affects compressor and consumable choices. The recommended compressor for the PRD OZ RC is an ELGI 1,200 cfm at 500 psi / 35 bar, and the rig has a triplex water/foam injection pump.

6. Sampling requirements

RC is chosen for its samples. The PRD OZ RC uses a cyclone with a static cone splitter. Let us know your sampling interval and any QA/QC requirements.

7. Start date and duration

When do you need the rig on site, and for how long?
