About the Company

We keep various statistics of the industry, and foster affiliations with associations that have similar, but not the same, business interests. We are extremely knowledgeable about the industry, and can be contacted confidentially about any matter. If we do not have the answer to your question, we will be able to lead you to someone in the Association who does. We organize conventions for the industry's benefit, providing opportunities for training, networking and social contact.

DEC

The CDDA is launching Drilling Excellence Certification (DEC) to establish a new, higher standard of quality in the diamond drilling industry. DEC will support drill contractors in improving health and safety, environmental and quality performance. The CDDA has supported mining companies, drilling contractors, manufacturers and suppliers since the 1940's; Drilling Excellence Certification continues that tradition by bringing drilling contractors in synch with the rest of the minerals industry.

History

On November 29, 1938, members of the American Diamond Drill Core Manufacturer's Association met in North Bay, Ontario, with some of the principal Canadian drill operators and manufacturers. The purpose was to organize a Canadian association that would collaborate with the Americans to establish equipment standards which would be interchangeable between both countries. At this meeting two committees were appointed: the Organizing Committee (J. Rolston), and the Technical Committee (P.Hall).

Achievements

The CDDA has successfully tackled many bureaucratic and political issues over the past half century: federal and provincial taxation laws, changes to the Mining Labor Acts, flow-through shares, inflation, environmental policies, and compensation rates. Many issues have repeated themselves over the years, but the Association continually strives to strengthen its lobbying position for the betterment of our industry.
