Our Company Cubex is an ISO 9001-registered Canadian ITH/DTH drill manufacturer, based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. With more than 35 years' experience in the supply of mining equipment for the global mining market, Cubex has an install base of more than 500 underground drills and supporting products. Cubex has been established as the global leader in designing and manufacturing underground InTheHole (ITH/DTH) drill rigs. Cubex has underground drilling equipment operating in every major mining market and is used by the world's largest mining companies and contractors. Cubex's line of track mounted or rubber-tired articulated drill rigs and booster compressors deliver superior drilling accuracy providing a lower cost per ton for production mining applications. The robust ITH/DTH drills can also be utilized for drilling service holes, V-30 slot-raising and Wassara Water Hammer applications. Our Process Our ability to deliver truly innovative solutions starts with the customer. Each mine has unique drilling problems and issues to overcome. Through continuous communication, we uncover and design drilling solutions that work. We rely upon our decades of experience designing and manufacturing ITH/DTH production drills to ensure a high-quality build that operators prefer to use because the equipment has been engineered to their needs and specific application requirements. We have proven this methodology, coupled with a modular design, works across the world and at any mine site. A recent project had a number of challenges affecting production due to lengthy drill setup times with existing equipment. We designed a trackdriven, boom-mounted Wassara drilling system, which drastically cut down drill setup times, increased productivity, and provided a safer operating environment. Our drills are designed to be modular so that we can alter the platform based on specific mine site challenges and requirements while maintaining ease of use and serviceability. Our solutions are innovative because new solutions are often required to solve the unique problems and challenges our customers encounter in their mining operations.
