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.

Fact 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.
Fact 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).
Fact 3: There Is No 100% Guarantee
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.
Fact 4: Siting 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.
Fact 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.
