Precision Drilling from Collar to Core Tray

We don’t just drill holes; we partner with your geology team to deliver pristine structural data in Victoria’s most unforgiving terrain. See how we execute our campaigns from start to finish.

Logistical Autonomy

We assess the terrain and handle our own water cartage and camp setups. You focus on the science; we handle the bush.


Low-Footprint Setup

Track-mounted Cortech rigs navigate narrow, existing tracks, eliminating the need for extensive land clearing.

High-Recovery Data

We navigate complex turbidites to deliver perfectly oriented core for accurate 3D modeling.

Continuous Uptime

Mechanically capable team on & off the pad so the bit never stops turning Monday to Friday.

The Prestige Execution Process

Every exploration campaign has its own quirks. We treat your budget and your data as if they were our own. Here is how we run a standard deployment:

Step 1

Feasibility & Logistical Autonomy

We start by assessing your terrain. Operating as a self-sufficient unit, we handle our own water cartage, camp setups, and site logistics. We handle the bush, so you can focus on the science.

Step 1
Step 2

Low-Footprint Mobilization

Accessing historic Victorian goldfields shouldn’t require massive environmental red tape. We deploy track-mounted Cortech rigs that navigate narrow, existing tracks, eliminating the need for extensive land clearing.

Step 2
Step 3

High-Recovery Drilling & Data

We specialise in navigating fractured transitional zones and complex turbidites to deliver perfectly oriented diamond core and RC samples, giving your team the exact structural data needed for accurate 3D modeling.

Step 4

Continuous Mechanical Uptime

Mechanical downtime kills exploration timeframes. Backed by a mechanically capable team, our rigs are maintained on weekends and off-shifts to ensure the bit never stops turning during your drilling window.

Technical Specifications & Adaptable Rig Capability

We provide a comprehensive range of wireline size options to suit specific project requirements

Our crews specialize in complex telescoping hole designs.
This allows us to pivot casing sizes mid-program to maintain hole integrity and reach target depth, even in shifting or broken ground.

Seamless Integration: Connectivity Anywhere

Precision drilling requires more than just technical skill; it demands constant, transparent communication between the rig and the exploration team. For geologists managing complex programs, staying informed of every “run” is critical, especially when they cannot be physically present at the rig site.

Prestige Drilling Services adopts a flexible, user-defined approach to communication. By ensuring the geologist is kept up to speed with real-time data, the Prestige team acts as a literal “extension” of the exploration program, helping clients reach their specific targets and goals.

The Starlink Advantage: 24/7 Full Comms

To overcome the challenges of Victoria’s remote alpine and rugged terrains, Prestige utilizes advanced technology to bridge the communication gap:

Continuous Connectivity: The team ensures they have full communication at all stages and at all times through the use of Starlink.
Real-Time Reporting: Geologists are kept up to speed with each run, ensuring they are informed even when away from the rig.
Operational Synergy: This high level of communication ensures the “left hand knows what the right hand’s doing,” creating a seamless workflow between the contractor and the client.
Reliability: This commitment to communication is a key reason why industry experts “can’t highly recommend these guys enough”.

“They do what they say”.
“They’re reliable, trustworthy, and they recover the drill core to the highest standard.”
