Grevena-Kozani, Aetoraches chromite, Greece

One (1) surface rig was deployed to conduct exploration drilling in a 50x50m grid. A combination of destructive and wireline core drilling was necessary to fulfil project requirements and identify the geometry of subsurface chromite deposit. Vertical boreholes reached a maximum depth of 360m providing useful insight into the geology of the area and the shape of the deposit.

Project Challenge

The project included a combination of destructive and core drilling down to the desired depth.

• Combination of destructive and core drilling
• High recovery required
• Multiple intersected chromite intervals

RESULTS

The exploration program managed to unravel subsurface geometry providing useful insights into the geology of the area and the shape of the deposit.
