Operational since 2000, Central Queensland Exploration has continued to improve the quality of services offered to its clients in a number of capacities. These key areas include investing in new equipment and staff development. Central Queensland Exploration operates a growing fleet of modern drilling rigs with "hands-free" rod handling systems. Central Queensland Exploration is committed to providing safe, efficient and cost effective drilling services and ensures a safe and efficient working environment for both personnel and clients through its first class drill management system. Central Queensland Exploration is widely recognised for its professional and reliable services and ability to ‘get the job done right the first time’. Since its formation, Central Queensland Exploration has subsequently developed a solid relationship with a number of clients. CQE adopts a proactive approach to training and up skilling of personnel. CQE’s internal training program for drill personnel is relatively extensive and undergoes continual development. The overall skill qualification of CQE’s personnel is increasing improving the company’s depth of skill and capacity in provision of drilling services. This can be attributed to both progressive personal development within the internal training program as well as the successful recruitment of appropriately skilled personnel.
