About us

Field experience. An engineering mindset.

Established in Ankara in 2014, Solid Drill provides drilling services to the mining and mineral exploration industry. Our work brings together surface and underground operations, practical engineering and an understanding of the conditions that determine performance in the field.

Since 2014

An exploration program depends on what happens at the rig: how the crew responds to the ground, how equipment is maintained and how each sample is handled. We connect those daily decisions with the client’s wider objectives, bringing field experience and engineering judgement to the delivery of drilling services.

Our mission

Our mission is to provide drilling services that clients can depend on for the progress of their exploration programs. We aim to achieve this through capable teams, appropriate equipment and disciplined execution, while giving proper consideration to sample quality, the working environment and the safety of everyone involved.

Our vision

We aim to be a trusted drilling partner whose reputation is earned through the quality of its work and the conduct of its people. Continued development of our engineering capability, the sharing of field knowledge and responsible operational decisions are central to that ambition.

01

Safety

Safety guides the decisions that shape our work. We value preparation, competence and open discussion of hazards, and recognise that every person must be able to raise a concern or stop unsafe work without hesitation.

02

Integrity

Integrity means making commitments with a clear understanding of what they require. It calls for honest communication about capability, progress and limitations, and respect for the responsibilities we share with clients and colleagues.

03

Excellence

Excellence is built through attention to the work itself. We seek to improve the consistency of our service by learning from field experience, applying sound engineering and addressing the details that influence quality and reliability.

Our story

Founded in Ankara

Today

A drilling business combining surface and underground services with the continuing development of its people, equipment and operational approach.

Fleet & engineering

Built around the realities of the field.

A drilling rig earns its value through the work it can perform reliably in the field. We approach equipment development with that reality in mind, considering access, handling, maintenance and the demands placed on the crew. Feedback from operations helps direct engineering effort towards improvements that are useful at the rig.
