We’re continually researching and designing cutting-edge technologies, performance systems, and intelligent data platforms. The proof is in our innovations—driven by Major Drilling, elevated by Major+. This evolution of our services advances our well-known global drilling expertise to a full spectrum of drillside intelligence services.
Major Drilling is no longer just a provider, we’re a pioneer of intelligent exploration. Major+ represents: Intelligence at the drillside. Seamless integration of tech and tradition. Safety, performance, and data-driven decision-making.
In collaboration with KORE GeoSystems, Major Drilling’s Innovation Team has developed RockLens, a drillside imaging unit that captures high resolution core photos and through KORE’s Spector platform, uses AI to produce quick logs, including RQD measurements. With drillside geologic imaging capabilities, images once stored as files in folders on a server are now searchable, indexed, depth referenced and are able to be viewed online anywhere in the world within seconds.
The SafeGrip products provide hands-free rod handling for safety and efficiency. SafeGrip offers compatibility with all rod sizes, 180° multi-axis movement, and automated features to lower strain and risk. SafeGrip UG builds on this with an IP67 rating for tough conditions, the AiVA Pedestrian Detection System for zone monitoring, and Smart Diagnostics with wi-fi enabled support. Both help reduce injuries, boost uptime, and ensure safer operations in various environments.
Rock5 introduces advanced technology to drilling operations, offering improvements in safety, drill performance, and access to real-time data insights. With adaptability to various drill models, it offers an in-house designed dashboard that tracks drill function pressures, water usage, and many more drilling parameters. Its integrated digital co-pilot provides actionable recommendations designed to enhance crew performance and minimize downtime.
The AquaLink unit is a unique control system designed to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact by monitoring and adjusting water pump performance in real-time. It features capabilities such as water supply usage monitoring, volume and temperature tracking, and leak detection, ensuring optimal water management and operational efficiency.
This platform is our in-house designed dashboard used to capture production summaries, shift reporting, and deliver reliable data insights on drilling operations. With API capabilities that allow for integration with other platforms, clients stay informed on their drilling projects, and several key performance metrics in a secure environment.
Our Innovation Team of R&D specialists, technical experts, experienced geologists, data engineers and vibrant industry leaders are advancing our technologies and delivering them into the hands of our drilling teams.
Our strategic partnership with DGI and KORE provides unparalleled geoscience solutions and data-driven insights that enhance our drilling performance and customer experience.
Each one of our data and intelligence platforms, smart drilling solutions, orebody imaging and geophysical tools brings cutting-edge geological services and innovative solutions to the drillside for our clients.
Our Teams are ready and excited to deliver these services to you.
Anchored by the principles of safety, efficiency, and actionable insight, Major+ encompasses our high-performance tools including: RockLens drillside imaging unit, Rock5 drill data analytics, SafeGrip rod handling, AquaLink water management, and MTBPortal drill time management software.

During SEG 2026, our Major Drilling America team joined longtime partner Freeport-McMoRan and fellow drilling contractors to help the next generation of geologists and drilling professionals better understand how geology and drilling work together.
Representing Major Drilling, Sal Renteria, Operations Manager - US Underground, shared his expertise in underground core and RC drilling. The course gave participants a closer look at different drilling methods, how programs are planned and the important role drilling plays in delivering geological information.
We’re proud to have our people share their experience and knowledge with the next generation of our industry. Interested in a career in mining? Apply on our website today: www.majordrilling.com/careers
