DRILLING
SOLUTIONS
DTHDS takes a people-focused approach to production, slot and service hole drilling
operations in copper, gold and iron ore mines, both surface and underground.
We can guarantee as much as 25% improvement in your current performance by helping
both drillers and shift bosses understand how to drill straight holes accurately at all angles.
This improvement results in more consistent fragmentation, better stope extraction and
lower crushing costs.
You will benefit from more than 40 years of industry experience to help you achieve that
extra performance, which previously seemed out of reach.
what we do
DTH Drilling Solutions will enable
each driller to improve performance and thus reduce costs for production drilling operations.
Our program is tailored to be inclusive of drillers of any skill level or background. Wherever a mining operation is, we have the experience and passion required.
We improve time, tonnes and cost by influencing individual drillers' attitude, understanding and skills.

how we work
‘Training’ has a focus on helping a person develop new skills. The drill manufacturers usually provide training, but their training has a strong focus on a machines’ technical operation, and it doesn’t address behaviour.
‘Coaching’ goes beyond training and addresses gaps in knowledge and behaviour. Coaching is people-specific, with a strong focus on principles and behaviour. By providing coaching, Graeme can help drillers improve and retain their existing skills. He can help them get better results on the same machine in the same rock. And he can help their employers improve time, tonnes, and cost – “the three things mining management is usually concerned about,” he says.

In the years since its inception, DTHDS has provided a unique and valuable service to the mining industry around the world. He has used his more-than-three decades of experience to help drillers avoid and overcome problems such as hole deviation, collapsing holes, stuck or broken rods, broken machines, and other issues. In the process, he has saved mines up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
Through our coaching and mentoring programs, we help operators become drillers and good drillers become better drillers.
In the vast majority of cases, we find operators try to do a good job. Even though their machine operating skills may be excellent, a lack of knowledge about the science of drilling can lead to unwanted hole deviation, stuck rods, low productivity and poor stope extraction.
As such, in the vast majority of cases, our programs quickly lead to higher productivity, better fragmentation, improved stope extraction and lower crushing costs.
