Field-aware tracking for mineral exploration drilling

Know where your drill program stands.

DrillWatch gives geologists and exploration managers a clean place to track the current state of drilling, preserve field reasoning across rotating crews, and turn the same record into client-ready internal reporting.

What it is

A practical operations console for active drill programs.

DrillWatch is built for the daily operational picture: which holes are drilling, what is queued, where rigs and pads stand, how many metres are complete, and what changed today.

It is intentionally not a core logging system, assay database, or all-purpose geology platform. It keeps the moving parts of drilling visible, explainable, and easy to hand off between crews.

Live collar map

See active, completed, queued, and suspended holes on aerial or topo project maps.

Shift-to-shift continuity

Capture depth, status, delays, and downhole notes so the next field team inherits the reasoning, not just the numbers.

Reporting on your terms

Generate outputs that match internal reporting schedules, preferred summaries, and the formats your team already uses.

ETA and rate model

Use current depth, targets, planned depth, and project rates to estimate next milestones.

Workflow

From field update to shared project picture.

  1. Set up the programAdd pads, rigs, planned holes, prospects, depths, and drill order.
  2. Update the dayRecord current depth, status, notes, delays, and the reasoning behind what changed.
  3. Hand off the contextGive incoming field teams and managers the current picture without rebuilding it from texts and spreadsheets.
  4. Report from the same recordTurn the live program view into the summaries and cadence your internal reporting already expects.

Built for

Small to mid-sized exploration teams that need clarity without ceremony.
