Case Study: Randgold Resources boosts drilling accuracy and productivity with REFLEX

REFLEX solution increases productivity, accuracy and saves money

Randgold Resources was running a drilling campaign in Senegal in highly magnetic intrusive rocks, where inconsistent drill rig alignment, long setup times, and unreliable downhole survey data were hurting productivity and confidence in the results. REFLEX was brought in with its rig alignment and surveying technology, including the TN14 GYROCOMPASS, EZ-GYRO, and IMDEXHUB-IQ cloud platform.

REFLEX implemented a solution that enabled accurate rig alignment, real-time survey verification, and better QA/QC of drilling data. The results included a 50% reduction in rig alignment time, ten times greater alignment accuracy than traditional compass methods, improved drilling efficiency through real-time decisions, and more reliable data for resource modelling, helping Randgold save time and money.
