Swick Mining Services Limited provided an update on expected rig utilisation for the next six months in the Drilling Services business and an update on its Mineral Technology (Orexplore) business. Commenced underground diamond drilling at Barrick Nevada's (USA) Turquoise Ridge site. A minimum of seven underground rigs to be mobilised by end of June 2018 with potential for more at other Barrick USA sites. Underground drill rig utilisation in Australia expected to remain relatively stable over the next six months. Global underground drill rigs in work expected to increase from 54 of the available 68 rigs (79% of fleet) at end of December 2017, to 63 of the available 69 rigs (91% of fleet) in June 2018. This growth is primarily due to increased demand in the International segment. Orexplore core scanning machine (GeoCore X10) now in Perth and core scanning trials commenced. Launch planned for March 2018.
