Why SCION Drilling
Our Purpose
SCION Drilling is a core drilling contractor based in the USA, delivering high-recovery performance for exploration teams across remote and complex terrain.
We’re purpose-built to help geologists and technical teams get clean, oriented, high-recovery core that builds modeling confidence and supports discovery.
What We Stand For
Our reputation is built on results; consistent recovery, geologist-ready reporting, and a zero-harm safety culture.
We understand what matters to technical decision-makers because we work directly with exploration managers, senior geologists, and project leads in the field, not just from the office.
How We Work
We embed with your team to deliver measurable outcomes, even in challenging terrain. Whether collaring on 15° slopes in the Black Hills, drilling remote targets in Nevada, or managing RC and mud rotary programs in Wyoming, our crews are equipped, certified, and ready.
MSHA-compliant crews
Daily reporting tailored for geology teams
Structural logging and oriented core delivery

Leadership in the Field
SCION has supported lithium, rare earth, copper-gold, and uranium exploration programs across the Western U.S.
Our performance in remote terrain, steep pads, and high-angle collaring has built trust with both junior explorers and project generators.
Why Exploration Teams Trust SCION as Their High-Recovery Drilling Partner
