We are looking forward to attending the Drill24 drilling conference in Perth, WA. We’re also pleased to sponsor the morning tea event on both days. This premier event hosted by the Australian Drilling Industry Association (ADIA), taking place from the 15th – 17th October, is a fantastic opportunity for drillers, industry leaders, and innovators to come together and explore the latest advancements in drilling technology and practices. As a proud sponsor, we are committed to supporting the growth and development of our industry. We look forward to engaging with fellow attendees. Don’t miss out on this incredible event! We can’t wait to connect with you all and discuss how we can drive the future of drilling together. #Drilling #Exploration #Mining

Last week, Grant Wallis GAICD, MBA, our CEO, and Brendan, our Chief Engineer, attended MinExpo to meet with clients and suppliers about our electrification and decarbonisation strategy. The conversations were productive, and we are excited about the progress of our electric RC drill project, which began well before we were awarded an Australian Federal Government grant for this initiative in April this year. Grant and Brendan also had a positive and spirited conversation with Dr Andrew Forrest from Fortescue regarding Fortescue’s commitment to developing a zero-emission mining fleet, which is part of their journey to achieving Real Zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. #Drilling #Mining #Decarbonisation #Electrification

Grant Wallis GAICD, MBA and Brendan Moran will be representing Wallis Drilling at MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas later this month. This global event is the premier gathering for professionals in the mining industry, showcasing the latest innovations, technologies and equipment focusing on safety, productivity and sustainability. Brendan and Grant are looking forward to connecting with industry leaders, exploring innovations and technology that will assist Wallis Drilling in decarbonising our drill fleet and shape the future of drilling. Wallis Drilling has led the industry with our automated 300RC drill, now to lead the industry in decarbonising the drills. If you're attending, let’s connect! #MINExpo2024 #MiningInnovation #Decarbonisation #FutureOfDrilling #Networking

Wallis Drilling recently entered the 2024 Clontarf Foundation Swan View Dodgeball Carnival. Not only was it a fantastic opportunity to engage in some friendly competition, but it also allowed the team to come together to support the students at Clontarf. The energy was electric, and the teamwork on display was truly inspiring. Although Wallis Drilling didn’t walk away with the win, Patrick, Digby, Alex and Jesse did walk away with achy muscles! #drilling #mining #teamwork

The 2024 Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum was a resounding success! Held in the heart of Western Australia’s gold mining district, Kalgoorlie, the event captured the bustling energy and spirit of this gold mining town. With perfect weather, knowledgeable speakers, and an atmosphere brimming with optimism, Grant Wallis GAICD, MBA and Kim Wallis made the most of the exceptional networking and hospitality provided by the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum committee. Last year was all about #Lithium and #REEs; this year, it’s clear that #Gold is taking centre stage. As part of our Carbon Reduction Strategy, we assessed the Ford F150 Lightning EV, which could play a role on some of our sites in the future. On the final day, we visited the Super Pit—the big hole in the ground that has created so many jobs over the decades. What a spectacular sight! Already looking forward to what next year’s forum will bring! #Mining #Exploration #Drilling

On behalf of Wallis Drilling, Grant Wallis and Kim Wallis will be attending the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum next week. This conference is a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with our clients, share our insights in to drilling technology, and stay updated on the latest industry trends. Kim and Grant are looking forward to networking and discussing innovative solutions that drive our industry forward. Additionally, Grant, who is on the Committee of AMEC (Association of Mining and Exploration Companies), will be happy to discuss AMEC and industry business. If you're attending the conference, be sure to talk with them and discover how Wallis Drilling can support your next big project! #mining #exploration #drilling 

The Mantis 200 is our automated air core drill rig, designed and built right here in Midvale, WA, for the Australian drilling industry. It’s the most advanced air core drill rig in Australia, loaded with automated features that promote both safety and efficiency. The Wallis Drilling Mantis 200 air core drill rig uses smart engine management to optimise horsepower delivery. This allows the drill rig to drill deeper while using less fuel than conventional drill rigs, reducing our carbon footprint and lowering overall job costs. As a smart drill rig, we can monitor its technical progress from our headquarters in Midvale, WA. Managing servicing schedules, serviceability, and predictability from Wallis HQ means we can send parts to the site before they are needed, maximising uptime and minimising downtime.
