Boart Longyear is pleased to announce that its drilling crews drilled the deepest hole ever drilled in Ghana. They drilled a hole 2083.4 meters (6,835 feet) deep. The team installed a wedge and navi drilled the hole on track at 600 meters and kept on track to the end of the hole. The directional drilling project for Golden Star was completed safely and ahead of schedule.

Our drilling crew in Ghana on this project worked safely and diligently in directionally drilling the hole to the target depth. I couldn’t be more proud of the team that completed the project.
