3 AMC SRU Range Our innovative, cost-effective alternative to using drilling fluid sumps. Our award-winning AMC Solids Removal Units are the ultimate companion for drillers, enabling costeffective, minimal impact drilling, even in the most restricted locations. Available in several configurations, these innovative closed-loop systems eliminate the use of sumps and maintain drilling fluid at optimal performance, delivering maximum ROP, drastic water, mud and waste reductions and more. How Does It Work? The AMC SRU works by circulating drilling fluid directly from the drill collar to be processed by the shaker and centrifuge, where drill solids are separated from the mud slurry and discharged via a waste chute. After being processed, the cleaned drilling fluids flow into the tank to be returned to the drill rig. A conveniently positioned mixing system is then used to blend products into drilling fluids. Key Benefits Reduces water consumption by up to 80%, as well as costs for pumps and sourcing Reduces mud consumption by up to 75%, as well as associated costs Reduces cartage and disposal costs by up to 75% Enhances productivity improves bit on bottom time by 10% Eliminates the need for ground sumps. Reduces overall site footprint by up to 80% ideal for remote, restricted or sensitive locations Limits environmental disturbance, eliminates site re-mediation and environmental management costs Improves on-site health and safety, reducing slips and hazards due to mud and water spillage Reduces wear and tear on drill components Allows access to environmentally sensitive or remote drill sites. The SRU provided considerable cost savings as excavation, drainage and rehabilitation were not required, and the unit returned a lot of the additives to drill circulation instead of being lost as sludge.

5 AMC BOS A proactive solution for fluid loss and borehole instability. Down the borehole, you can t always predict when or how things will go wrong. AMC s patent pending* Borehole Optimisation System (AMC BOS ) anticipates fluid loss, lost circulation and unstable zones, even in the most difficult conditions making operations smoother and more predictable. The AMC BOS comprises the AMC BOS UNIT an in-hole lubricating and casing while drilling tool, and AMC BOS FIX a rapid fill grout. The AMC BOS is a proactive solution combating fluid losses and borehole instability, by delivering a measured amount of AMC BOS FIX at regular intervals to the bottom of the drill string and up the annulus. The fluid reacts instantly with borehole fluids, permeating and sealing fractures, providing a thin but robust lubristic membrane to the borehole wall. Unlike reactively using traditional methods, the AMC BOS is a preventative measure which can significantly improve diamond drilling productivity, at rig safety, reduce environmental impact and lower overall operational costs. Proactive against fluid losses and borehole instability Regular injections of AMC BOS FIX to the bottom of the drill string and up the annulus continually seals natural fractures and fissures, to stabilise the borehole, reduce down hole losses and occurrence of lost circulation. Traditionally, LCMs are the first measure used to aid fluid losses. Depending on circumstances, LCM effectiveness may vary, potentially compromising the borehole annulus, causing stuck pipe, and resulting in unwanted rod tripping. In cases of instability, casing may need to be applied, which requires unwanted rod trips. The AMC BOS creates a continuous and flexible casing to assist with loose, unconsolidated, fractured, caving, sloughing, swelling, high friction or washout zones. In all my time drilling at this site, I have never witnessed a product do what the AMC BOS had done to improve drilling and lost circulation conditions. Eric Castleberry - Drill Supervisor at Resolution Key Benefits Reduces rig down time from rod trips through unstable or fluid loss zones Stabilises the borehole and maximises fluid returns, reduces the need for cementing/grouting, casing and/or lost circulation materials Saves up to 48 hours lost time cementing/grouting, and associated costs and risks Reduces drilling fluid cost Reduces water consumption, management and associated costs Reduces torque, rod chatter and vibration, and associated rod trips and costs Reduces wear and tear, extends life of drill components Reduces manual handling, slip and trips hazards and chemical handling Reduces environmental impact to local water supply and risk of contamination. *For more information visit imdexlimited.com/patents MBI Drilling Products T : F : sales@mbidrillingproducts.com 4
