Ausdrill, part of the Perenti group of companies, introduces its patented Auto Sampler, a groundbreaking advancement as the industry’s first labour-free sampling solution.
Purpose-built for grade control environments, the Auto Sampler delivers outstanding safety, operational efficiency, and quality control by eliminating the need for manual sampling on drill rigs.
By reducing operator exposure to dust, noise, and hazardous materials commonly associated with traditional reverse circulation drilling, Ausdrill’s Auto Sampler enhances both safety and efficiency.
The Auto Sampler incorporates the RayTrac RFID digital sample tracking system, which ensures every sample is tracked accurately and in sequence.

This eliminates the need for drill hole survey marking and retrieval, streamlining drilling operations and reducing setup times and costs. Clients benefit from increased productivity and precision in their drilling programs.
Ausdrill’s Auto Sampler is also equipped with an advanced communication module that enables seamless remote monitoring.
This feature supports real-time data sharing and diagnostics from the drill rig to any client office worldwide, facilitating timely decision-making and enhancing operational transparency.
Developed through close collaboration with clients and partners, the Auto Sampler recognises the critical role of grade control programs in optimising mine planning and ore recovery.
Ausdrill’s commitment to building purpose-designed equipment underscores its dedication to delivering high-quality samples and reliable service in every project.
Customisable to fit various drill and blast rig types, as well as certain conventional exploration rigs, the Auto Sampler exemplifies Ausdrill’s leadership in technology and automation.
