Twin-Boom Underground Development Drill Rig Delivered to Peru Copper Mine Project

Chinese Jumbo Drill Manufacturer Supports Underground Copper Mining Development in Peru

PERU, May 2026

A twin-boom underground development drill rig manufactured by our company has recently been commissioned at a large-scale underground copper mining project in Peru. The machine is now being used for mine development, haulage drift excavation, ventilation tunnel construction, and production access development.

The successful deployment marks another important milestone in the company’s expansion across the South American mining market and demonstrates the growing demand for high-performance underground drilling equipment in Peru’s mining sector.

Growing Demand for Underground Mining Equipment in Peru

As one of the world’s largest copper-producing countries, Peru continues to invest heavily in underground mining projects. Many mining companies are expanding existing operations and developing deeper ore bodies, creating increasing demand for reliable underground development drill rigs and jumbo drilling equipment.

The customer, a leading underground mining contractor, required a drilling solution capable of improving productivity while maintaining drilling accuracy in hard rock conditions.

The mine’s geological formations primarily consist of high-strength copper-bearing rock with compressive strengths exceeding 120 MPa, requiring powerful hydraulic drilling systems capable of delivering consistent penetration rates.

Drilling Operations

Twin-Boom Jumbo Drill Designed for High-Performance Underground Development

To meet project requirements, the customer selected a twin-boom underground jumbo drill equipped with:

· Two high-frequency hydraulic rock drills

· Maximum drilling depth of 4.5 meters per round

· Anti-jamming drilling system

· Heavy-duty boom structure

· Articulated underground mining chassis

· Automatic drilling control functions

The equipment is specifically designed for underground mine development projects, including drift development, crosscut excavation, service tunnel construction, and mine infrastructure development.

Its robust design allows stable operation in challenging underground environments while ensuring accurate drilling patterns and optimized blasting results.

Improved Drilling Efficiency and Faster Mine Development

Since entering operation, the jumbo drill has delivered significant performance improvements.

Key project results include:

· More than 40% increase in drilling productivity

· Reduced drilling cycle times

· Improved hole accuracy and tunnel profile quality

· Lower explosive consumption

· Increased monthly development advance

The customer reported that the equipment’s drilling precision contributed to improved blasting fragmentation and reduced overbreak, resulting in lower overall development costs.

Project engineers also highlighted the machine’s reliability and ease of maintenance, which helped maximize equipment availability and minimize downtime.
