COAL
EXPLORATION
Coal exploration demands speed, accuracy, & rugged field performance — and that’s
exactly what Century delivers
With deep roots in British Columbia’s mining sector and decades of field-proven experience, we’ve logged thousands of boreholes across the Elk Valley, Tumbler Ridge, and Alberta’s coal regions. Our reputation is built on providing fast, reliable, and cost-effective geophysical logging services that mining professionals trust to guide critical decisions in the field and beyond.

We’ve logged for every major coal operator in Western Canada
We’ve logged for every major coal operator in the Elk Valley and throughout Western Canada. Our deep understanding of the local geology, terrain, and permitting requirements makes Century the go-to partner for both exploration and operational support.
Scalable logging solutions
Not every program calls for a full wireline unit — and that’s why we offer scalable logging platforms, including compact, fly-in systems for helicopter access or remote setups. Whether you’re drilling off a forestry trail or flying into alpine terrain, Century’s modular systems ensure you get the data — without blowing the budget.
Cost-effective without compromise
We understand the pressure to do more with less. Century delivers the logging data you need — without unnecessary extras or overbuilt systems. Our approach is practical, efficient, and optimized for coal exploration budgets. From single-hole evaluations to large-scale delineation programs, we help you maximize value per meter.
Purpose-built tools for coal exploration
Our suite of open-hole geophysical tools is optimized for identifying coal seams, seam boundaries, ash content, fracture zones, and structural controls with precision and clarity.
Density
Seam identification and in-situ ash estimation
Caliper
Borehole geometry and caving detection
Deviation
Pinpoint exactly where your seams are
Borehole Magnetic Resonance (BMR)
Advanced porosity and permeability data for coal seams and surrounding formations. Non-invasive and core-free, BMR offers insight into water content, diffusion, and formation structure not possible with conventional tools
Acoustic Televiewer
High-resolution imaging for fracture and structure orientation
Optical Televiewer
True-color borehole imagery for structure, bedding, and lithology logging
Sonic
Elastic property evaluation, fracture detection, and core correlation
Flowmeter
Pinpoint fluid movement in the borehole to identify groundwater inflow zones or potential connectivity between seams
