Who We Are
At Durin, we drill for mineral exploration companies. Despite being a $12B industry, exploration drilling technology has hardly changed in over 60 years. Our mission is to change that. The first step is the development and mass-production of our own drilling rigs with automated controls and real-time data streams to increase safety, accuracy, and efficiency. Learn more
