Meet the Wallis Mantis 200 Aircore Drill Rig

Описание: Meet the Wallis Mantis 200 Drill Rig – the next generation of Aircore Drilling technology, proudly developed and manufactured by us in Western Australia.

Wallis first invented the Aircore Drilling system in the late 1970s, introducing a dual-tube reverse circulation method that transformed mineral exploration worldwide. By forcing compressed air down the annulus between two concentric rods and returning the sample through the inner tube, the system keeps air entirely within the drill string. This closed-air design delivers clean, uncontaminated samples and rapid penetration through clays, sands, palaeochannels, and other challenging formations.

The Mantis 200 rig is compact, powerful, and designed for remote exploration. It achieves high penetration rates while minimising environmental impact, making it ideal for explorers seeking efficient and reliable results. With a drilling depth capability of up to 250 metres, depending on ground conditions, the Mantis 200 is supported from our Perth-based maintenance, engineering, and operations team, Wallis offers both conventional rigs and automated drilling solutions to meet specialised requirements.

For efficiency, reliability, and innovation, the Wallis Mantis 200 Aircore Drill Rig sets the benchmark in modern exploration drilling.
