Boart Longyear to Showcase Broad Range of Rigs, Drills, Performance Tooling and First Instrumentation Product at Expomin
SALT LAKE CITYÂ – Boart Longyear (www.BoartLongyear.com), the world's leading provider of drilling services, equipment and performance tooling, will use Expomin - from April 25 to 29 in Santiago, Chile - to showcase its broad range of underground, multipurpose and geotechnical rigs; drills; performance tooling; and the first product in the company's instrumentation line, TruCore™.
"Expomin is an essential show in the Latin American mining industry if you want to have conversations with the sector's key players," said Hans Glaessner, Sales Director - Americas. "We are looking forward to presenting some of our latest product innovations and talking with current and future customers."
Boart Longyear's product experts will be on hand during Expomin stand at 702 - 802 1B to showcase the following products:
   -- LM™110 Underground Rig: The LM™110 was designed as a modular drill
       rig with a number of options for site-specific customization. An
       optional rod handler can be added to the LM™110, which greatly
       increases safety by locating the driller away from moving parts.
   -- LX™6 Rig: A multipurpose geotechnical rig that is capable of wireline
       and conventional coring, the LX™6 features powerful steel crawlers
       that allow it to travel on difficult terrain and drill anywhere.
   -- LS™250 MiniSonic™: The recently launched LS™250 MiniSonic™
       is a mid-sized sonic rig that provides an overall safer working
       environment for drillers. The rig is ideally suited for a wide range of
       environmental and infrastructure drilling applications, including
       difficult-to-reach drill sites.
   -- StopeMate™: Developed with the end user in mind, the StopeMate™
       pneumatic production drill is extremely compact and is capable of
       drilling 51mm to 76mm holes, accommodates drilling depths of 12 to 25m
       and can be quickly disassembled and reassembled to gain access to
       captive areas.
   -- StopeMaster™: Larger than the StopeMate™, the StopeMaster™ is
       made for bulk mining applications. It allows for superior access,
       mobility, flexibility and productivity to meet the unique challenges of
       narrow vein and other underground mining applications.
   -- S250 Rock Drill: A hand-held, pneumatic rock drill that ensures maximum
       production in development and stoping applications. The S250 features
       precision leg controls, a lightweight design and optional acoustic
       baffles that reduce operator fatigue. It is available in several
       configurations, including the Jackleg, Stoper and Sinker.
   -- BLH™ Down the Hole (DTH) Hammer Series: The BLH™ down the hole
       hammer and bit series increases productivity in reverse circulation
       drilling and conventional drilling, and can be used for geotechnical
       drilling, quarrying/mining, water well/geothermal and mineral
       exploration. Available in both valved (BLH5 and BLH3) and valve-less
       (BLH1) models, the series provides high performance, outstanding
       reliability, simplicity and low operating costs.
   -- TruCore™ Core Orientation System: The first product in Boart
       Longyear's instrumentation line, TruCore™ enables drillers to provide
       the accurate data and the results mining clients count on, while
       decreasing spend on consumables. As a trusted supplier of drilling
       equipment and tooling for more than 125 years, Boart Longyear is proud
       to offer the first alternative solution in the marketplace for core
       orientation.
