The Directors of Every Day Mine Services Limited (EDS) are pleased to advise that G.O.S. Drilling Pty Ltd has today executed a drilling contract with a Vale controlled joint venture, Integra Coal Operations Pty Ltd near Singleton, NSW for a number of deep core holes. This is the first stage of an extensive program planned at the Integra underground mine for a UDR 1000 rig which will run for up to 6 months.
The signing of the contract is the first with Vale and will further enhance its operational presence in the Hunter Valley coal fields. It is also expected that an additional rig may be mobilized during the term of the contract on it becoming available. EDMS and GOS Drilling look forward to working closely with Vale and Xstrata on these projects and other growth opportunities that exist in the near term.
