BEST MOMENTS
"I thought the return on investment for purchases of our equipment would be the saving in costs of personnel. But the way we believe our IP functions is actually about getting more bit on bottom a whole time drilling during a shift."
"We see our technology as helping enable a lot of that and the kind of real digital transition and trends that are happening within the sector."
"We want to continue to find areas where the sector and the big players maybe have neglected a niche. Maybe it's too small a market segment for them to take on, or they view the challenge as too big." -
"We've worked through to get to a point where our first autonomous sampling system commercial model has been deployed out for Anglo-American in South Africa."
