The DiscovOre Prime is a revolutionary coring system developed for drillers by drillers that is safer and faster than other available systems.
SAFETY
Like the regular DiscovOre, the Prime has built-in safety features that automatically engage and do not require additional manual steps, making it easier to assemble and disassemble. Lighter by 23% than the regular DiscovOre in H size, the Prime is easier for drillers to handle.
| - No spring pins and no spearhead | - Automatic locking overshot |
| - Robust latches and spindle | - Improved conversion head for all hole orientations |
| - Improved latch engagement | - Stabilized bearing assembly |
SPEED
Additionally, the Prime is faster than the DiscovOre, with a descent speed that is up to twice as fast as the L-Latch. Its increased inner tube retrieval speed leads to a quicker drilling cycle time and less wear and tear on wireline.
PRODUCTIVITY
The DiscovOre Prime is a premium product with a payback that can be achieved within a couple of days depending on drilling conditions. Contact your sales representative to inquire about the return on investment specific to your operations.

When we launched the DiscovOre Prime, we took the DiscovOre core barrel system and streamlined its design to make it even faster. We kept the same safety features, and we even made it lighter so it would be easier to handle. This is a premium product for drilling companies who are focused on performance. The investment in the Prime will bring higher production so that the Prime will pay for itself very quickly. But how quickly?
In an earlier blog, we looked at the core barrel assembly, this being the equipment that is used to recover core, and plays a very important role in the diamond drilling operation. The success of an operation depends on retrieving core efficiently and effectively. We looked at the parts of the inner tube of which the head assembly is a part. It is a complex part so it is well worth looking at it in detail.
When I talk about new products in this blog, I hate to overpromise. I like to think I provide fair information about what a new product does and why it was developed. The DiscovOre is a new core barrel system that I think really is something different… maybe even revolutionary. It addresses two big issues for drillers, safety and productivity.
