ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Drilling is one of the defining stages of mineral exploration — but what really happens when a drill rig rolls onto site? In this episode, Ella and Amelia sit down with Cody Unger of Timberline Drilling to break down the exploratory drilling process from the ground up. They explore how drilling plays into the mineral development process, what a day on the rig looks like, and the skill it takes to keep operations running safely and efficiently. If you’ve ever wondered how geologists get the data that drives discovery, this conversation brings you right to the heart of the action.
