ONTARIO - Cabo Drilling of North Vancouver has been awarded a 35,000-metre drill contract by Goldcorp. The work will take place at Goldcorp's Musselwhite gold mine 430 km north of Thunder Bay.

Cabo will be using a number of barge-mounted Maxdrill machines which have been customized to facilitate the installation of casing required for core drilling on deep water barges or ice. The drills will be operated throughout the year on water based barges and will continue after ice formation with state of the art drill shacks. The land-based provisions of the contract, include an additional 8,000 meters, which will be performed by a Christensen CS-14 long stroke hydrostatic drill.

To meet environmental guidelines, Cabo has equipped all the rigs are with systems that filter the return water from the drill string to catch and bag all of the rock cuttings from the drilling operations. The cuttings are collected in plastic tubes and subsequently taken to an approved land disposal site.

Cabo offers a wide range of drilling services at all stages of mineral exploration. Learn more at www.Cabo.ca.
