More than 400 000 meters, sizes PQ, HQ, NQ, BQ and CUD 76, were drilled throughout South Africa and Namibia since the establishment of the company. In 2013, the company acquired the Murray &amp; Roberts ultra-deep hole exploration drilling division, which allowed them to perform core drilling to depths of 0-5000m. The company has an operational fleet of 40 surface drill rigs, with various drilling range capacities. Thebe Turnstone\u2019s client base is spread across all commodities, mainly Precious Metals, Ferrous Metals, Base Metals and Coal.<\/p>\n<p>The drilling services industry is an essential part of the mining industry. <em>\u201cDrilling services are employed by mining companies throughout all phases of a project\u2019s lifecycle, including exploration, resource evaluation and feasibility studies, development and production,\u201d<\/em><strong> Nonhlanhla<\/strong> explains.
