First autonomous RC drill rig
video update
Tribe Technology PLC (AIM: TRYB), a
disruptive technology-first developer and manufacturer of
world-class autonomous mining equipment, is pleased to share a
video of its first autonomous reverse circulation drill rig
performing final software & function testing prior to
shipping.
The Company has made significant
progress following the completion of manufacturing of the first
TTDS GC 700 drill rig (the "Drill
Rig") and has already reached several milestones towards the
shipment of the Drill Rig to our first customer.
This first product has been
manufactured and sold to industry leading drilling contractor,
Major Drilling Group International Inc ("Major Drilling"), for use at a tier 1
iron ore mining asset in Australia. The shipment of the Drill Rig
is booked to Australia and remains on track for departure by the
end of July 2024, with delivery by the end of September 2024 on
target as stated in the Company's operational update.
The video of the Drill Rig can be
viewed here.
Charlie King, Chief Executive Officer at Tribe Tech,
commented:
"We are delighted to share this
exciting development of the Drill Rig driving out of the factory.
Our clients have been on site performing final inspections and we
have now booked our sailing date to Major Drilling's subsidiary
McKay Drilling in Australia. This marks a major step for the
Company and we look forward to further developments with the
manufacturing of our next drill rig for Anglo American, one of the
world's major mining companies."
Marc Landry, Chief Technology Officer at Major Drilling,
commented:
"Innovation is the cornerstone of
our strategy at Major Drilling, and our commitment to being at the
forefront of new technology is unwavering. Our approach is
deliberate, ensuring that every technological advancement we adopt
serves the best interests of our key customers.
"Our partnership with Tribe Tech is

drilling contractor for the industry's most innovative equipment
manufacturers, we take pride in delivering value that goes beyond
