Drilling the core is only half the job. Once a sample comes out of the ground, it has to survive a long chain of handling: sorting at the rig, transport over rough mountain roads, temporary storage at the site, palletized shipping to a core shed or lab, and — increasingly

Mining exploration relies on a chain of processes in which every detail influences the quality of the information obtained in the field. In a region with significant mining activity, such as Peru and several other Latin American countries, the availability of these products has become an increasingly important factor for

Mineral exploration in the Peruvian Andes doesn’t happen in controlled environments. Drill sites sit at 4,000+ meters above sea level, where intense solar UV radiation, extreme temperature swings, and sudden storms are simply part of the daily operating conditions. For geologists and exploration teams, this raises a question that’s easy

After drilling and extracting the core, the job isn’t over yet. That cylindrical sample, painstakingly extracted from the rock or soil, needs a place to be stored without being damaged or losing its integrity along the way. That’s where the core tray comes in—an item that often takes a back

In any project, drill cores are one of the main sources of information about subsurface characteristics. However, the usefulness of these records depends largely on their condition. Therefore, maintaining the integrity of drill cores is a task that continues throughout the entire process, from extraction to final analysis. What happens

When procurement teams compare quotes for core boxes and core trays, the spreadsheet usually starts and ends in the same column: unit price. A bundle of waxed cardboard at a fraction of the cost of plastic looks like an obvious win — until the second drilling campaign, when half of
