DEPCO Drilling was established in 1963 by Hal Friemuth for water boring. Wayne Riddell purchased the Company in 1992 and expanded into Mining and Mineral Exploration. In his forward thinking manner he purchased the latest technology, put that with the highly trained and experienced staff to get the best results from this 'state of the art' equipment, add the large percentage of custom-made hardware produced in his own full-time Rockhampton workshop and you have a "can do" approach to the most difficult task.
DEPCO currently has 27 Drilling Rigs with a variety of capabilities including, Open Hole Hammer and PCD Drilling, Chip, 4", 8", HW, Conventional Coring, HQ Coring up to 1000 metres, Gas Risers and Goaf, Large Diameter holes to 1.5 metres, RC Drilling and foundation piles, along with Water Bores. Each Rig has its own Water Tanker, compressor and/or pump and at least one light support vehicle giving us a very diverse fleet of vehicles for almost any open mining situation.
