Ambitious monthly drilling targets help drive project's first class venture

摘要

As one of the world's major gold producers, Boddington has presented Atlas Copco with a first class partnership, with the recent production drilling requiring a fleet of nine DMLs, two Pit Viper PV271s and two ROC L8-30s to maintain the monthly haul of 10 million tonnes.
