Mining drilling rigs are used for two main purposes, exploration drilling which aims to identify the location and quality of a mineral, and production drilling, used in the production-cycle for mining. Drilling rigs used for rock blasting for surface mines vary in size dependent on the size of the hole desired, and is typically classified into ...
Power rock drill, mounted on a column, in operation in a mine. A drifter drill, sometimes called a rock drill, is a tool used in mining and civil engineering to drill into rock.
