Aztec’s Mineral Division has undertaken a wide range of exploration projects, including prospecting and evaluation of lignite, limestone, granite, shale, base metals, potash and salt. The Mineral Division also conducts soil sampling and geotechnical investigations.

In addition to a wide range of wireline and conventional coring equipment, the Division can deploy grout mixers and pumps; inflatable packers (conventional and wireline) for permeability testing; and sampling and testing facilities.

The new 200 horsepower MAIT GEA500 track mounted multi-purpose rig can drill holes at any angle and is ideal for anchors, piles and directional drilling.

The Division's portable mud systems can handle bentonite muds, brines and oil-base mud. Several of it's rigs, such as the Ingersoll_Rand DM-45, are also suitable for drill and blast operations in quarries or open cut mines.
