Upgraded and certified: One of the largest and newest fleets of hydro focused rigs in Australia
-
Vysarn has become an industry leader by upgrading and certifying (ISO) its fleet of 12 rigs to satisfy the demands of tier-1 miners.
-
Capital expenditure on the fleet is nearing completion. Capital light strategies (double shifting, leasing and hire purchase) are being executed to further increase rig count and utilisation .
Vysarn is the only hydro drilling company in Australia that can provide all three forms of drilling; Foremost dual rotary (DR), dual-tube flooded reverse circulation (DTFR) and conventional rigs, to satisfy the hydrogeological drilling needs of clients in all ground conditions.
-
DR rigs, simultaneously drill and case holes, providing superior drilling efficiencies in ground conditions containing unconsolidated formations.
-
DR Rigs ▪ Highly sought after by clients, providing Vysarn with 7 DR rigs, a clear competitive advantage. ▪ Only one competitor has access to a (older) fleet of 7 DR rigs.
-
Availability, cost and long lead times of DR rigs provides competitive moat for Vysarn.
-
One Schramm T130XD has been upgraded from casing advance/conventional to DTFR. Indicative demand for a second DTFR conversion. The Company has two more T130XDs available for conversion to DTFR.
DTFR Rigs
- DTFR enables fluids to circulate inside the dual tube pipe, minimising losses to the formation that can occur with conventional mud rotary drilling.

Water in the Pilbara
==> picture [178 x 102] intentionally omitted <==
Dewatering is a critical operational imperative
Water in the Pilbara
-
Dewatering is an operational imperative. Majority of iron ore mines established post 2000 have a significant portion of their economic ore body below the water table.
-
Dewatering has become an operational imperative with water table issues becoming one of the largest impediments to ongoing production.
-
Pumping must be continuously maintained to keep the groundwater levels suppressed and the mine pit dry.
Significant growth in water abstraction
-
The Pilbara region abstracts in excess of 450 gigalitres of water per annum, which is 68% of total water abstracted in the Western Australian resource sector.
-
Over 40% (265 gigalitres) is related to dewatering, which is returned to the environment or used in non-mining related activities.
-
Over 65% of resources are below the water table, fueling demand for dewatering requirements.
-
Total water abstraction within the Pilbara region is expected to increase to over 578 gigalitres by 2024.

Increasing production through price voliatility
Demand from iron ore set to increase
==> picture [178 x 102] intentionally omitted <==
-
High Demand – Strong economic growth in China over the past decade has driven demand for Australian iron ore:
-
Global COVID stimulus has fueled prices to all time highs of US$215 p/t.
-
WA’s iron ore sales are forecast to increase to 862mt by 2022-23.
-
Lowest cost producer – Australia is the lowest cost iron ore producer globally (US$12.5–$15.0 p/t).
-
Increased production through cycles – Low cost and high grade has enabled Australian producers to increase production through price volatility.
-
Production = Dewatering – To maintain production, iron ore producers require significant dewatering and hydrogeological drilling services.
Demand for dewatering and hydrogeological services from the iron ore sector is anticipated to increase with continued growth of the sector:
Existing mines are expanding below the water table
- Demand for dewatering is amplifying as a greater proportion of economic resources lie below the water table.
New mines coming online
-
WA has $17bn+ of major iron ore projects, committed or under construction.
-
Two mines were completed and commenced production in 2019 & 2020.
-
Seven mines are expected to commence production in 2021 & 2022.
