North Vancouver-based Cabo Drilling (CBE-V) has snagged a contract with Goldcorp (G-T, GG-N) to drill 5,000 metres at the company’s Hollinger gold mine in Timmins, Ont.
The contract, which is for reverse circulation (RC) hammer drilling, will help Goldcorp establish potential open-pit mineralization at Hollinger, which is part of it’s Porcupine project.
Cabo has a fleet of RC drills at its disposal including large diameter downhole reverse hammer precision rigs and Acker long-stroke drills, which can be mounted on Flex Trac Nodwell carriers or Fly skids to minimize the environmental footprint.
A press release emphasized both companies’ focus on safety.
“We are pleased to join the Goldcorp team at the Porcupine project, where they truly believe that safety is the priority under all circumstances. Every employee, of both companies, is encouraged to work safely and promote safety as a main part of their job,” said John Versfelt, chairman, president and CEO of Cabo Drilling, in a statement.
In addition to Hollinger, the Porcupine gold mines area hosts the Dome mine and mill, the Hoyle Pond mine and a large land package in the Timmins gold camp.
Cabo also recently participated in Northern College’s Surface Diamond Driller Assistant Common Core Program graduation luncheon in Timmins, using the opportunity to hire new grads.
