High-Performance Coring with Zero Site Footprint

Our fleet of track-mounted Cortech rigs is engineered for one purpose: delivering deep, reliable core samples in environments where standard truck-mounted rigs fail.

Capable of depths up to 700m (HQ), our rigs provide the power of a larger setup with the agility to navigate narrow bush tracks and rugged terrain.

But getting to the hole is only half the battle. Unlike competitors who rely on client-supplied infrastructure, Prestige Drilling is self-sufficient and minimise work for our geologist, managing all site logistics internally.

This means your geological team can focus on the data.

With mechanically capable team on every shift, we eliminate downtime from equipment failure, ensuring your program stays on schedule and your budget stays intact.

Precision Recovery for Structural Analysis

We understand that for a Project Geologist, the drill rig is just a tool to get the data you need. That’s why we don’t just drill holes; we present geology.

Our team is trained to prioritize core presentation, ensuring superior recovery even in oxidized zones and complex fault structures.

We work as an extension of your technical team. Whether you need precise dip and azimuth orientation or assistance identifying quartz banding and reef structures on the fly, our operators are experienced in reading the ground.

We handle the physical heavy lifting—marking depths, orienting core, and managing trays—so you get a pristine sample ready for structural analysis.

No grinding core, no messy trays—just clean, actionable geological data.

Rapid Mobilization Across Victoria & Beyond

When your exploration permit is active, you don’t have weeks to wait for a rig to mobilize. Prestige Drilling offers a nimble, responsive service designed for the modern exploration timeline.

Based in the Victorian Goldfields, we specialize in rapid deployment to projects across the state—from the Fosterville region to the remote forestry tracks of the Alpine region.

Our team is built for agility. We can mobilize for small, high-impact programs (2-5 holes) that larger companies ignore, or scale up for long-term resource definition campaigns.

With a history of servicing projects in Broadford, Myrtleford, and beyond, we know the local terrain and the logistical challenges of the state. We don’t get bogged down in excessive red tape; we get the rig on the pad and the rods spinning.
