Below, we highlight some of the key clients we’ve partnered with, showcasing the scope and scale of our work.

HARMONY GOLD

Project Scope: Pneumatic and Hydraulic Underground Exploration Diamond Drilling.

As one of the leading gold mining companies in South Africa, Harmony Gold relies on precise and dependable exploration services to maintain its production targets. Lesedi Drilling has been a critical partner in providing safe deep-level underground exploration drilling, delivering high-quality core samples that enable Harmony to make informed decisions on mine development. Our state-of-the-art diamond drilling techniques have consistently met the geological challenges posed by Harmony’s complex underground environments, ensuring accurate data and timely project delivery.

Sibanye-Stillwater

Project Scope: Pneumatic and Hydraulic Drilling.

Sibanye-Stillwater, a leading producer of platinum, needed a drilling partner with expertise in pneumatic and hydraulic drilling to extract resources in hard rock formations. Lesedi Drilling provided the high-pressure drilling solutions necessary to penetrate deep, high-density rock while maintaining precision. Our team worked closely with Sibanye’s geological team to ensure the drilling was efficient, safe, and aligned with their production goals. The successful collaboration helped Sibanye expand their platinum production and enhance operational efficiency.

De Beers

Project Scope: Long Hydraulic underground Diamond Exploration Drilling.

When De Beers needed long inclined boreholes for diamond exploration, they sought a company with the technical know-how to handle complex borehole drilling. Lesedi Drilling’s advanced equipment and experienced team made us the ideal choice for this high-precision task. Working in remote and demanding conditions, we provided boreholes at extreme angles, allowing Venetia to explore deeper diamond-bearing geological formations. Our consistent ability to deliver high-quality data and maintain on-site safety has cemented our role as a trusted partner.

Vedanta Resources

Project Scope: Hydraulic Drilling for Zinc Exploration Drilling.

Vedanta, one of the world’s largest zinc producers, engaged Lesedi for their pneumatic drilling requirements. Our team provided an air-powered solution that was both efficient and flexible, perfect for the softer rock conditions where traditional hydraulic systems might have been too aggressive. By delivering a solution tailored to their specific mining conditions, Lesedi Drilling enabled Vedanta to quickly access key ore bodies, significantly improving their zinc extraction rates. Our ability to adapt to varying geological challenges was critical to the project’s success.
