Murchison Grade Control Pty Ltd was founded in 1988 to provide these services as a dedicated Contractor. The Ditch Witch® sample provides an excellent high density continuous sample across strike enhancing visual control and sub-surface exposure for mapping. Collection of the finely ground, well mixed sample is simple, fast and labour efficient and requires little additional laboratory preparation.Trenching equipment uses the Chain or Boom with a continuous cutting chain, or the Earth Saw, a rotating wheel with tungsten carbide teeth. Chain trenching is suitable for soft (free dig) oxide ores where greater depth is required. Earth Saws are capable of digging in tougher ground conditions than the chain without varying trench depth.
