“Since switching over to SMD for the 2016 Black Rock Open Cut surface drilling program, there has been a noticeable reduction in consumables used and active delays, while a significantly noticeable increase in drilling hours.”

“Once the product was on site and in use the positive effect was immediate. The mud was easy to mix and did not require any extra special equipment. The result was less use of all three products — CX Gel, CX Trol and CHP — with no negative impact on core presentation, and borehole stability was actually improved by using the SMD products.”

“Getting the mix right! Our South American Mud Engineer, Gianfranco, works closely with all stakeholders to ensure the best results from the best product. Mixing our SUPER GEL, CX TROL & CHP ULTRA products resulted in improved core recovery and drilling progress — and a very happy customer!”
