Drill Cores

Drill cores are cylindrical samples taken from beneath the Earth's surface during drilling operations, often in mineral or oil exploration. They are extracted using specialized equipment that cuts a continuous section of rock or soil, providing a direct glimpse into subsurface conditions. These samples help geologists analyze the composition, structure, and mineral content of underground formations, aiding in resource assessment and understanding geological history. Drill cores are preserved for detailed examination and laboratory testing, offering valuable information without the need for extensive excavation.
