Global Underground Mining Diamond Drilling Market Expected to Exceed $660 Million by 2026

Palm Beach, FL – July 27, 2021 – Underground mining diamond drilling is the process of extracting core samples from the earth. This is an exploratory process that determines the structural strength of mineral composition for construction projects or potential mining. Diamond coring bits are majorly used in the exploration phase of the mining industry. Underground mining diamond drilling includes of diamond core drill bits, which are equipped with drilling systems, for example, rotary or wireline drilling systems. Deployment of efficient coring drilling rings in the exploration phase entails extensive capital investment. Mining companies invest significantly in installation and testing of mined samples over coring systems.   Growing the demand for base metals such as nickel, lead, copper, and zinc and precious metals for instance gold, silver, and diamond is expected to boost investments in the metal mining business. This is possible to augment the demand for diamond core drill bits that are used in underground mining of hard rocks. Diamond core drill bits are mostly employed in the exploration industry, especially for hard rocks, as the penetration of diamond bits is high regarding that of other materials.  Active stocks in the mining markets this week Clarity Gold Corp. (OTCPK: CLGCF) (CSE: CLAR), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) (TSX:ABX), Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (NYSE: OR) (TSX: OR), Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM), Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE:KGC) (TSX:K).

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) (TSX:ABX) recently reported preliminary Q2 sales of 1.07 million ounces of gold and 96 million pounds of copper, as well as preliminary Q2 production of 1.04 million ounces of gold and 96 million pounds of copper. We remain on track to achieve 2021 guidance, with both the Africa & Middle East and Latin America & Asia Pacific regions trending to the higher end of their regional gold guidance and North America to the lower end.

 

The average market price for gold in Q2 was $1,816 per ounce, while the average market price for copper in Q2 was $4.40 per pound.

 

Preliminary Q2 gold production was lower than Q1, with planned maintenance shutdowns at Nevada Gold Mines’ (“NGM”) processing facilities further impacted by a mechanical mill failure at Carlin’s Goldstrike roaster, as well as planned maintenance at Pueblo Viejo. The Goldstrike roaster is currently operating at a reduced rate and work to repair the mill is expected to be completed in Q3, with actions being taken to mitigate the impact on NGM’s full year production. As previously guided, Barrick’s gold production in the second half of 2021 is forecast to be higher than the first half. Q2 gold cost of sales per ounce is expected to be 2 to 4% higher, total cash costs per ounce are expected to be 1 to 3% higher and all-in sustaining costs per ounce3 are expected to be 6 to 8% higher than Q1.
