Our Products & Services

Your Trusted Partner with vast experience in both Exploration and Mining Projects

We provide a wide range of Drilling and Load & Haul services to support our clients from greenfield exploration through to brownfield phase and mining operations.

Wherever we are engaged we always ensure our clients fully benefit from our vast industrial experience through improved technologies, versatile systems and processes gained over the years.

We pride ourselves with commitment to local labor engagement. Our teams, both in management and drilling crews are from Botswana and have vast amounts of industrial experience and strong commitment to good safety principles.

Mineral Exploration & Resource Management

Exploration drilling plays a vital role in the development and progression of any society as it enables discovery and acquisition of new mineral deposits, which has potential to contribute positively to sustainable economic mining operations today or in future thus creating value.

We at Medupi Mining Services, are committed to be part of the local industry leaders in this endeavor, through our provision of different exploration and drilling solutions to the best of our abilities and to the adherence of the industry’s practices.

Our mining operation services includes brownfield drilling, grade control, and geotechnical drilling (includes Highwall or Horizontal drilling).

As part of our work ethics, we always keep close contact with the client’s mineral resource team, providing constant communication on the dynamic ground conditions during drilling, and coming up with best solutions to achieve a common goal.

Our drilling services are as follows:

  • Reverse Circulation Drilling

    We have versatile and efficient drill rigs to drill any terrain. Our drill rigs have automated sample rifflers/splitters which can be modified to meet the client’s specific sample requirements.

  • Diamond Core Drilling

    We offer surface diamond core drilling services with a full range of core sizes and capabilities for your different mineral exploration requirements. We also have the resources and capacity to execute deep drilling projects to depth of 1,800m at different inclinations.

  • Directional Drilling

    The technique enables multiple holes to be drilled from the original “mother hole”. This is both time and cost saving as it reduces the need to move and re-drill new holes to yield the same results. We have highly experienced onsite teams and experts to carry out work safely and cost effectively.

  • Brownfield Exploration Drilling

    Both diamond drilling and RC are incorporated for resource definition and infill drilling projects in and around the mine operation. We have also been involved in vast amounts of sterilisation drilling projects for various engineering requirements.

  • Grade Control Drilling

    Our grade control team is trained and equipped to deliver under any operational production requirements. We use a state of the art drilling fleet, with automated rod handlers and efficient dust suppression to ensure total elimination of the health risks to the working crew.

  • Geotechnical Drilling

    We provide horizontal in-pit de-watering and groundwater relief, geo-technical drilling, and any exploratory drilling services that might be required.

Production Blast Hole Drilling
Load & Haul Operations

Our core business and speciality is drilling. We provide production drilling services for surface mining operations. We have extensive experience in drilling and blasting operations management in various large mining operations in Botswana.

We also provide a wide range of services in both mineral exploration, load  and haul operations.

  3. Feeding crusher
  4. Mining waste and ore at a depth limited to 40m
  5. Rehabilitation of Dumps

Technical Services

  • Explosives QC Checks

    We carry out quality control tests on explosives density and in-hole continuous velocity of detonation (VOD) measurements to verify explosives performance, priming efficiency, and explosives reliability in all applications.

  • High Speed Video

    Analysis of high speed videos of blasts can identify the following: Out of sequence firing of blast holes, Reasons for abnormal backbreak, Source of flyrock problems, Reasons for poor ragmentation, Impact of geology on blast results, Reasons for poor performance of the explosives, Stemming ejection and poor stemming practices, Actual burden velocity is measured and used to calculate optimum burden relief timing.etc.

  • Independent drilling and blasting audits

    Using a combination of: field measurements, observation of field practices, review of existing records, and computer studies, we make recommendations on how you can improve the safety and efficiency of your drilling and blasting operation.

  • Seismic Monitoring

    We carry out seismic monitoring for compliance verification, blast analysis, and complaint resolution and can carry out an independent review of your own seismic monitoring records. Data can be used for development of site specific scale distance graphs, for prediction of ground wave attenuation.

  • Signature Hole Analysis

    In dealing with neighbour complaints, regarding blast vibration, the most effective tool to use is “signature hole analysis”. This process takes into account the influence of the geology between the blasting area and the neighbour’s home on the transmission of the blast vibration waves.

  • Damage Complaints

    We have extensive experience in public relations and provide an independent analysis of damage complaints from blasting. We carry out visits to concerned neighbours to explain blast effects, review their concerns, document and investigate alleged damage, and determine if blasting could be at fault.
