Doug , Parker and Adam have just returned from a week-long training and sales meeting at Devico in Trondheim, Norway. They were joined by distributors from many other countries to learn about new developments with the company and products. Devico has been known for many years as the producer of state-of-the-art downhole magnetic and non-magnetic survey tools, as well as having a contracting division which specializes in steering drill holes to their target. The group toured an underground copper mine that started mining in 1654, and had a boat and train trip as well. Since they returned, our surveyors have been busy surveying drill holes in Michigan and Wisconsin. We also have one of our surveyors busy with surveying holes for one client with six drills operating in Minnesota.

With this new equipment, Minex sets the standard for down-the hole surveying. In combination with our state of the art survey tools, Minex provides DTH surveys that are second to none.
