Cartwright Drilling Inc. is a privately owned, independent contractor providing Surface Diamond Drilling services throughout Canada, Greenland, Madagascar and Malawi. Incorporated in 1995 in Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Cartwright Drilling has a fleet of 16 fully hydraulic drill rigs that can easily drill to about 1000 meters BTW or 700 meters NQ.

Skid mounted and fully unitized, our rigs are still much lighter than most rigs and consequently can be moved easier and with less environmental disturbance. We are as comfortable and competent on a skid job as we are on a remote chopper job with permafrost conditions.

All of our rigs can be easily converted to be heli-portable and have been modified to improve their efficiency on helicopter contracts, thereby reducing the need for expensive helicopter hours.

Our most recent fleet additions include 1 truck mounted auger rig; 1 Nodwell with backhoe attachments which is suitable for trenching jobs; 2 Dozers; and 2 Snow Cat Trail Groomers to assist with Drill moves.

Our staff at Cartwright Drilling has plenty of experience with deep holes and we can easily upgrade our equipment capabilities when the right opportunity to assist a client presents itself.

Cartwright Drilling has the privilege of working in the rugged Arctic terrain and experiencing the beauty of Arctic flowers in bloom. Such amazing and fragile natural surroundings are a constant reminder of Cartwright’s responsibility to the environment as outlined in our Environmental Policy.

In July 2011 Cartwright Drilling successfully completed a two year drilling program in East Greenland for Platina Resources Limited – a company based in Queensland, Australia. It was during this program that we drilled our deepest hole to date – 1109 meters. Chief mechanic Dwayne Green took several photos. These photos show Cartwright Drilling at work and some of the beautiful landscapes of the area. You can view more photos in our photo gallery.
