Case

Recently, UNIQUEMAC celebrated a significant achievement: its 100m mini spindle core drilling rig has completed a successful field test in Timor-Leste. The rig met all performance expectations and demonstrated excellent adaptability to the country’s complex geological conditions, providing robust equipment support for Timor-Leste’s growing mineral exploration and infrastructure development. This breakthrough not only validates the reliable quality of UNIQUEMAC drilling rigs but also aligns precisely with the core needs of Timor-Leste’s current mining and construction sectors.

Precise Adaptation to Timor-Leste’s Geology with Standout Core Performance

Timor-Leste features complex geological structures shaped by multiple tectonic movements, resulting in folded formations, thrust faults, and diverse sedimentary strata. The predominantly mountainous terrain and limited transportation accessibility impose high demands on the adaptability, mobility, and stability of exploration equipment. The UNIQUEMAC 100m spindle core drilling rig successfully addresses these local challenges through its purpose-driven design.

As a mini rig tailored for small to medium-sized exploration projects, it delivers outstanding core performance: a drilling depth of up to 100m and a hole diameter range of 76–325mm. This enables the rig to meet coring requirements for mineral exploration—such as manganese, copper, and gold—while also supporting geological surveys for infrastructure projects like agricultural irrigation and road construction. Equipped with an efficient diesel engine, it operates independently of unstable local power grids, ensuring reliable performance in remote field conditions and effectively resolving power supply challenges commonly faced in Timor-Leste’s engineering projects.

The inclusion of a dedicated mud pump is a key advantage for coping with complex strata. In response to loose and collapse-prone formations in certain areas of Timor-Leste, the mud pump effectively cools the drill bit, removes cuttings, and stabilizes the borehole wall. This significantly improves core recovery rates and drilling efficiency while minimizing work interruptions due to geological issues. Additionally, the movable tire chassis greatly enhances mobility, allowing the rig to navigate easily through mountainous and rugged terrains. Compared to traditional drilling rigs, it substantially reduces relocation and site adaptation time—a crucial benefit in areas with poor transportation access.

Aligning with Market Opportunities to Support Timor-Leste’s Mining and Infrastructure Development

Timor-Leste is currently advancing its mining industry through initiatives like the second round of mining license tenders, which involve 33 blocks for various mineral resources. The government is also investing heavily in infrastructure, creating broad opportunities for the exploration equipment market. However, the local availability of suitable equipment has been limited, with existing machinery often poorly adapted or outdated, hampering operational efficiency. The successful field test of the UNIQUEMAC 100m spindle core drilling rig effectively fills this market gap.

Compared to conventional spindle drills, this mini model maintains considerable depth and diameter capacity while offering a compact design and user-friendly operation. It requires minimal setup and can be deployed quickly, lowering the threshold for field operations. Its well-designed hydraulic system and excellent coordination perform reliably under Timor-Leste’s harsh working conditions—including high temperatures and dusty environments—reducing equipment failure and ensuring project continuity. These advantages were highly praised by the on-site team during the trial.

Timor-Leste’s National Institute for Geological Sciences is accelerating national geological mapping and stream sediment sampling programs, creating urgent demand for efficient and reliable exploration equipment. With its precise stratum adaptability, stable power output, and flexible mobility, the UNIQUEMAC 100m spindle core drilling rig is well-suited for a wide range of applications—from mineral prospecting and infrastructure surveys to hydrogeological investigations—providing efficient solutions to support standardized mining development and high-quality infrastructure progress in Timor-Leste.
