FORACO Australia

Large Diameter Coring

FORACO Australia has drilled over 12,000m of 8” and 6” core during the past 10 years.  Programs have been successfully completed in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. Commodities have included Iron Ore, Uranium, Coal, Copper and other minerals to depths of 525m (8″ conventional core).

FORACO’s 8” (200mm core) conventional coring system provides a sample volume of 32 liters per linear meter ~ six times the volume of PQ3.

The 6” (150mm core) wireline coring system provides a sample volume of 16.7 liters per linear meter ~ three times the volume of PQ3.

Core recovery with both systems has been consistently good, averaging above 96%.
