Last updated: 28 July 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance

This website, vmdrilling.com.au, is operated by VM Drilling Pty Ltd trading as VM Drilling (“VM Drilling”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

These Website Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply when you access, browse or use this website.

By using the website, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should stop using the website.

2. Purpose and Scope of the Website

The website provides general information about VM Drilling, our capabilities and the services we may provide, including:

Grade control drilling
First-pass exploration drilling
Transport and mobilisation
Engineering support
Related mining project services

These Terms apply only to your use of the website. They do not contain the commercial or operational terms governing any drilling program, mobilisation or other project services provided by VM Drilling.

3. No Contract or Service Engagement

Submitting an enquiry form, sending us an email, contacting us by telephone or discussing a potential project does not:

Create a contract with VM Drilling
Confirm that VM Drilling has accepted the work
Reserve a drill rig, equipment or personnel
Confirm equipment availability
Guarantee that VM Drilling will provide a quote
Confirm a price, mobilisation date or project schedule
Require VM Drilling to commence work

VM Drilling may accept or decline an enquiry at its discretion, subject to applicable law.

A contract for services will only arise when VM Drilling and the client accept the relevant written project documents.

4. Quotes, Scopes and Project Agreements

Services provided by VM Drilling may be governed by documents such as:

A written quote
A scope of work
A service agreement
A purchase order accepted by VM Drilling
Project-specific terms
Applicable client or site requirements
Agreed variations

These documents may include terms dealing with pricing, mobilisation, access, scheduling, safety, personnel, equipment, downtime, delays, payment and other project matters.

If there is an inconsistency between these Website Terms and an accepted project agreement, the project agreement will apply to the services to the extent of that inconsistency.

Information displayed on the website does not amend an accepted quote, scope or project agreement.

5. General Information and No Site-Specific Advice

Website content is provided for general information only.

It does not constitute:

Geological advice
Engineering advice
Mine planning advice
Site-specific drilling advice
Safety advice
A risk assessment
A drilling program or design
Confirmation that particular equipment is appropriate for a project
Advice about permits, approvals or regulatory requirements

Drilling methods, rig selection, mobilisation requirements and project planning depend on factors that may include geology, ground conditions, drill specifications, site access, operating constraints, client requirements and the agreed scope.

You should not rely solely on website content when making technical, operational, safety or commercial decisions.

Any project-specific recommendations will be based on the information available to VM Drilling and the services included in the agreed scope.

6. Services, Equipment and Availability

We take reasonable steps to keep website information accurate and current. However, services, equipment, specifications, fleet numbers and availability may change.

Images of rigs, vehicles, equipment or project sites are illustrative unless otherwise stated. They do not guarantee that the same equipment will be supplied for a particular project.

Equipment and personnel remain subject to:

Availability
Site conditions
Project requirements
Maintenance and inspection requirements
Mobilisation requirements
Safety considerations
Existing commitments
Written confirmation by VM Drilling

Statements about productivity, efficiency, sample integrity, cost savings or project outcomes are general and are not guaranteed for every project.

7. Testimonials and Project Outcomes

Testimonials on the website reflect the views and experiences of the people or organisations identified.

They do not guarantee that another client or project will achieve the same outcome.

Actual results may vary depending on:

Project scope
Ground and geological conditions
Hole design and depth
Site access
Weather
Equipment requirements
Client instructions
Operating conditions
Events outside VM Drilling’s reasonable control

VM Drilling does not represent that a testimonial applies to every service, site or drilling program.
