Delivering RC, diamond, coal and geotechnical drilling across Australia through industry-leading safety systems, remote operations capability and four generations of drilling expertise.
RC, Diamond and Coal exploration. Geotechnical. Minesite dewatering. We don't do civil work, we don't do broad services, and we don't do anything we can't drill better than the next contractor.
High-productivity surface drilling — the workhorse for greenfield and brownfield programs. Large compressor booster airpacks for quick efficiency to depth.
Coring with no compromise on sample quality. Surface drilling, wireline and conventional. 8C, 4C, PQ, HQ and NQ. Directional drilling with navi and wedging capabilities.
Rotary air, rotary mud, chip and coring for coal exploration and resource definition. Open hole and cored boreholes across greenfield and brownfield programs.
Civil and minesite applications. SPT Hammer, Push Tube, Piezometer installation, over-water drilling on floating and jack-up barges. Uncontaminated aircore sampling.
Rod handling is one of the highest-risk activities in surface drilling. Our rod handling systems significantly reduce manual handling and keep personnel clear during rod movements. On applications where hands-on steel remains necessary, work is performed under documented procedures, engineered controls, and task-specific risk assessments to minimise exposure.
That same risk management approach extends across our operations through our ISO 45001:2018 certified occupational health and safety management system, supported by pre-shift briefings on every program and weekly incident reviews across the fleet.
Our people don't learn on your project. We assign experienced drilling crews whose capability and technical expertise are matched to the complexity and drilling method of every program — from remote greenfield exploration to technically demanding Tier 1 brownfield operations.
With active projects for clients including BHP, Austral Resources and Stanmore, our drilling fleet is equipped to support remote, regional and FIFO operations across Australia. Backed by our headquarters on the Sunshine Coast and operational hubs in Moranbah and Mount Isa, GeoDrill Australia delivers responsive, nationwide drilling services.
Remote camp management. Chartered flight logistics. Emergency Response Plans and robust HSE systems. FIFO maintenance rosters for continuous field support. We operate in the places other contractors won't go — and we keep operating once we're there.
Real proof, not slogans. Sourced from the live asset register, ISO audit files, and 20 years of programs.
A sample of recent exploration programs. Metres, methods and outcomes — no fluff.
GeoDrill Australia successfully completed a precision drilling program to approximately 1500 metres, maintaining minimal deviation from surface and achieving a target tolerance of within 2 metres. The fully cored boreholes successfully intersected all planned geological targets while delivering the project with zero safety incidents.
Resource definition drilling across multiple Austral Resources sites, combining RC and diamond methods to deliver accurate geological data.
Broad-scope drilling for Stanmore Coal across Queensland — groundwater monitoring, 4C, HQ3/PQ3 diamond coring and structural chip holes.
Safe, capable, and returning. Our people are our competitive advantage — we invest in training, maintain low crew turnover, and run a workplace worth coming back to. The same names on site this year as last.
Excellence and safety is at our core. Headquartered on the Sunshine Coast. Based in Mount Isa. Operating across Australia.
