Zimbabwe's rich mineral deposits are a cornerstone of the nation's economy. However extracting these valuable resources requires specialized techniques, and drilling sits at the forefront of the mining process.

The Diverse Applications of Drilling in Mining:
Drilling serves several critical functions in the mining industry:- Exploration Drilling: Core drilling and rotary drilling methods gather vital geological data. These samples help determine the location, size, and quality of mineral deposits, guiding informed mining decisions.
- Blast Hole Drilling: Large diameter holes are drilled for strategic placement of explosives. This controlled blasting fragments rock, making it easier to extract the target minerals.
- Geotechnical Drilling: Drilling provides geotechnical data on rock strength, stability, and groundwater conditions. This information is crucial for safe and efficient mine design and development.
- Water Borehole Drilling: Mines require a dependable water source for dust suppression, equipment operation, and sanitation. Borehole drilling ensures a consistent water supply for these essential mining activities.
Choosing the Right Drilling Technique:
The specific drilling technique employed depends on several factors, including:- Target Mineral: Different minerals require specialized drilling methods to optimize core recovery or fragmentation.
- Depth of Deposit: The depth of the mineral deposit determines the drilling rig size and drilling method best suited for the task.
- Ground Conditions: Rock hardness, stability, and presence of water all influence the drilling approach.

Five Facts About Borehole Drilling That You Need To Take Note Of:
1. Know Your Borehole Casings:The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.
2. Borehole Drilling Depth: The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).
3. The Is No 100% Guarantee On Water: It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.
4. Borehole Siting or Water Surveying Is Important: Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.
5. Know The Risks: The risk of the borehole drilling lies with the property owner. The client will still be liable for the drilling costs irrespective of a borehole yielding water or not.
