Developing rock core drilling rig technology greatly advances hydrothermal sulfide exploration.
-
Greater drilling depth: New rigs reach deeper
seabed layers, letting humans explore deeper sulfide resources.
-
Higher sampling efficiency: More automated systems cut sampling time, increasing samples per hour to speed exploration.
-
Better sample quality: Advanced techniques yield more intact, pure cores, providing higher-quality data for research.
