How We Became One of the Leading Drilling and Blasting Companies in the Goldfields

 19th April 2022

Blue Roc Drilling is one of the best drilling and blasting companies known to offer quality services for clients of open cut mining and civil projects in the Goldfields. We are a Western Australian owned company that prides itself on its ability and willingness to undertake complex and challenging drilling and blasting projects with an innovative hands-on approach. With well-maintained drill rigs and highly qualified mining drilling contractors, you can trust us to cater to your project needs.

The owner, Tony Aurisch, started as a pit tech, taking samples from a blast-hole rig back in 1992. He joined the company that owned the rig, got a shot fired licence, and started his drill and blast journey. Then, his three years of experience in Western Australia led to shot firing, drilling and supervisory roles in Africa and Central Asia.

When Tony returned to Perth, he started his own business in 2008. He founded Blue Roc Drilling after purchasing his first rig sight unseen. Fortunately, he bought a good one! Since then, the fleet has grown, and the company has become one of the leading providers of mining drilling and rock blasting services in the area. They are now based in Kalgoorlie, where Tony lives with his family.

Together with advanced drilling technology and proven processes, you can trust Blue Roc Drilling to be the best exploration partner of choice.
