This contract was completed in November 2011 and required holes to an average depth of 150 metres with one deeper hole to a depth of 400 metres. This was another Coal Exploration project.

The rig that was used on this job was the track mounted TD250, that was built in October 2010. It had the capacity and power to drill the deep hole. There was a reasonably tight time frame for this project, so to ensure the job was completed on time a Sub-Contractor was used for a brief period.

The use of the track mounted rig and rod carrier meant that all the equipment was able to move between drill sites including the off road ones, and there was no need for the additional cost of a transporter.

The drilling crew and the Geologist stayed in Balclutha and made the 20min trip to and from the drill sites in Kaitangata each day.
