Devico's drive paying off on Norwegian directional core-drilling technology

摘要

FOR the last two decades, a small Norwegian company located in Mel nearTrondheim, has been struggling to bring to the mining exploration and prospecting market new directional core drilling technology. The company's founder and major owner, Viktor Tokle, said: "Devico has spent nearly 20 years to convince the conservative industry and finally the word is out as they see the benefit of a new technology." MrTokle is the prime driver of the directional core drilling (DCD) technology, which he says will dominate diamond core drilling in the next few decades, as the market demands deposits be explored deeper and deeper.
