During the last financial year, explorers and miners drilled more than 11,000 kilometres across Australia, hunting for the next major discovery. West Australian-based drilling specialists McKay Drilling have been operating for more than thirty years, starting with a single rig in Kalgoorlie. The contractor has since rapidly expanded, operating 21 RC and diamond rigs across Australia and servicing some of the world’s biggest miners. As Operations Manager Chad McKay explains, the company will only continue to grow as exploration ramps up around the country.
