EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE
Wallis Drilling began operations in 1965 and is now one of Australia's largest privately-owned minerals drilling companies with over 300 employees.
Innovative Custom-Designed Rigs
Innovation has always been part of our DNA. In 1974 we invented the revolutionary Wallis Air Core drilling system.
Commitment to Quality & Safety
We are committed to the highest standards of quality and safety for our clients and employees, 100% of the time.
My father and brother who founded this great company in 1965 always said, we’re not drilling a hole in the ground, we’re drilling for a quality uncontaminated sample. Today we continue to judge our success on providing optimal and safe outcomes for clients, not how many metres we drill or how many blast holes we complete in one day.

Reverse Circulation Drilling
Fast and Efficient.

- Produces a solid core sample that can be extracted intact for geological examination on the surface
- The most accurate assessment of the mineral deposit
Grade Control Drilling
