Agnico-Eagle about the DeviDrill

In the beginning of 2009 Devico was called in to assist Agnico-Eagle in their deep drilling program at the Kittilä mine in Finland. As the holes often go down to 1200 meters a significant amount of meters could be saved by branching off holes.

During the first year of drilling more than 23,000 meters were reported saved in a 57,000 meter drilling program, leading to time savings of 30% and cost savings closer to 25%.
