What is the difference between RC and diamond drilling?
Exploration is about asking and subsequently answering the right questions.
Different drilling methods provide geologists with different information, helping build a clearer understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
At Royal Road Arabia's Jabal Sahabiyah project, Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is used to efficiently evaluate mineralization across a broad area, generating geological data that helps refine our understanding of the project and guide ongoing exploration.
At Royal Road Minerals’ GAM Project, diamond drilling is used to recover continuous core, allowing our geologists to study the geology, structures and mineralization in greater detail.
Both methods play an important role in exploration, the right tool depends on the geological question being asked.
