DIAMOND DRILLING
INTRODUCTION
Diamond drilling (diamond drilling) is one of the most widely used drilling
methods par excellence in mining activity, due to the greater information it is able
to provide to geological engineers for the discovery, verification, study and cubing
Of mineral deposits; Providing them with valuable information for the further
design of the operating system to be applied.
The principle of diamond drilling is based on the erosion or wear of geological
formations or friction rocks as an immediate effect of the rotation and thrust
pressure to which the drill or diamond crown is subjected to rock. These forces
cause abrasion or crushing of the formations into tiny particles called cuttings or
detritus, which are removed with the drilling fluids.

DEFINITION
Diamond drilling is drilling using a diamond drill bit to drill the rock, obtaining a
control of the rock, which is extracted, registered and placed in watch cases for
proper protection and storage inside coreshak (coreshak). For drilling diamond
drills are used because the diamond is the existing material with greater hardness
and thermal conductivity on the planet, which allows it to act as a cutting tool with
great effectiveness to cut the rock that is required and to conveniently extract the
samples or cores of the mineralized deposit.
Once cut the useful section is prepared identifying targets with sample and
countersample for comparison in accredited laboratories with the necessary
requirements that the QA / QC demands to give consistency to the investigation.

COST
In the case of diamond, the cost of the meter is more expensive, between US $
200 and US $ 250 per meter of sounding
CONCLUSIONS
Diamond drilling is one of the most used drilling methods par excellence in
mining activity.
Heavy Equipment: These are high-powered equipment with larger diameter
drilling capabilities such as PQ.
The diamond drilling will allow the extraction of the witnesses that will give
us the relevant information of the deposit.
Diamond drilling is the most costly to determine if a reservoir is
economically exploitable or non-exploitable.
Do not treat to reduce the expenses in the drilling since it depends on the
development of the project if yes
