A core exploration rig is a drilling rig designed for exploring mineral deposits by extracting core samples from the earth. It is equipped with a diamond-tipped drill bit that is capable of cutting through hard rock formations.
The rig is typically mounted on a truck or trailer for easy transportation to remote sites. The core samples are carefully extracted and preserved to provide geologists with valuable information about the geology of the region, including the composition of the rocks and the presence of minerals. This information is used to determine the viability of mining operations and to plan for future exploration and development.
