Exploration Drilling Projects
Low Impact Exploration.
In response to a growing demand from the mining industry, Sococo recently launched its newest division the Palo Verde Exploration Drilling Company.
With a fleet of "Man Portable" exploration drills we are now able to offer our clients a way to do extensive core sample drilling with the smallest possible "foot print". With no access roads or large platforms needed we are able to dramatically reduce the area affected by the initial drilling exploration at our client’s sites. This means less mobilization costs, less tree clearing and permitting, less earthmoving, and faster results.
Palo Verde Drilling has had effective solutions to many satisfied customers in Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Haiti. Thanks to that we are proud of the experience gained in various fields including drilling on the most difficult terrain in which we efficiently fulfilled our commitment to customer satisfaction.
