RC Drilling Services Across WA

Reverse Circulation drilling is the backbone of WA exploration - from the goldfields to the Pilbara, our RC fleet delivers metres that matter: high recovery, cost clarity and programs that keep geologists and boards confident in their results.

Capability you can count on
Our RC rigs reach depths of up to 550 m and are maintained to a 95% availability standard, reducing downtime and maximising productivity. Crews work with a “sample matters” mindset — recovery is never compromised for speed. Every bag counts, because we know that poor samples mean poor decisions.

Field-first culture
As a founder-led, owner-operated business, our leadership stays close to the rigs. That means decisions are made in the field, not in a boardroom. Crews are backed with structured training and a culture of accountability: if something doesn’t look right, we stop, speak up and fix it.

Digital transparency
Every K-Drill RC program is supported by CorePlan, Krux and SiteDocs, putting live data in the hands of our clients. Progress, recovery, safety reports and costs per metre are visible in real time — no waiting on plods, no surprises on invoices.

Safety and ESG
Safety is non-negotiable: our RC teams operate with zero LTIFR and are supported by systems like MaintainX and Starlink connectivity for remote sites. Beyond safety, we engage with Indigenous partners and local supply chains, ensuring that every program delivers community as well as client value.
