As we settle into the new year, we want to take a moment to celebrate some exceptional individuals and teams who went above and beyond in 2024. Please join us in congratulating the following 2024 End of Year Award Recipients:

🥇Ranger Champion – Josh Ramshaw
Josh has faced challenging ground conditions, worked closely with clients, and consistently delivered outstanding results all year long. His leadership, drilling knowledge, and expertise have truly soared. It’s no surprise that he’s earned the respect of his crew, the client, and all of us here at Ranger Drilling.
We’re thrilled to celebrate Josh as this year’s Ranger Champion, voted in by his peers for his exceptional contributions.

🤝Loyalty Award - John "Johhny" Tavasci
We’re excited to celebrate Johnny, who recently marked an incredible 10 years with us here at Ranger Drilling. Johnny is the definition of dedication and reliability. Whether on remote bush assignments or wherever he's needed, he consistently goes above and beyond, getting the job done safely and efficiently. His contributions often happen behind the scenes, but they are truly invaluable to the success of our team.
We're so fortunate to have Johnny with us and grateful for his unwavering commitment to excellence.

🛡Choose Safety – Jermaine Kapp
Jermaine may be a quiet achiever, but his impact speaks volumes. Throughout the year, he’s been flexible and adaptable, willingly moving around as needed. No matter where he’s placed, his strong safety mindset and genuine care for his teammates consistently stand out. It’s this dedication that earned him the respect and votes of his peers.

🌱New Starter – Corey Brooks
From day one, Corey has made a huge impact with his incredible work ethic, care for his teammates, and positive attitude. His reliability, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn about drilling have truly set him apart. Corey has started his journey with us on an impressive note and is showing great potential for a long and successful career in the industry, hopefully right here at Ranger Drilling!

🌟Emerging Leader – Nick Evans
Nick has been with the company for quite some time, and it’s clear he’s truly made for this role. Originally planning to ease into a supervisory position, Nick went above and beyond by jumping straight into full-time supervising—and not only did he rise to the challenge, he thrived! His ability to adapt and grow has made him a modern, effective leader, and we're proud to see him continue to excel.

🏆Rig of the Year – Rig 11
This team has truly gone above and beyond, achieving exceptional results from top class performance in metres drilled per shift, based on project conditions to outstanding efficiency over the past year.
In addition to their impressive technical achievements, including innovative trials with various products equipment, they've also embraced the local wildlife where they have hugged koalas and cuddled kangaroos.

Congratulations to all of our deserving winners! We’re so proud of your hard work and dedication. Let’s continue to build on this momentum in 2025!

Site Visit Safety Update: Acknowledging our teams

Recently, we had the privilege of hosting Perenti’s Corporate Assurance Manager and Vice President of Safety and Sustainability on a tour of our operations. We visited rigs at the HPPL Round Hill and RTIO Rhodes Ridge projects, as well as the Newman yard, to provide them with firsthand insight into how we at Ranger conduct our work.

The feedback from the Perenti team was overwhelmingly positive. They engaged in meaningful conversations with our crews and were particularly impressed with Ranger's safety culture. They noted that everyone they spoke to expressed genuine pride in being part of Ranger—a sentiment that truly reflects the strength of our team.

While some of our rigs had already wrapped up for the year, including our Diamond rigs, which were in the process of end-of-year cleaning, the visits to operational rigs were a highlight.

Acknowledgments:
• HPPL and RTIO Crews: A big thank you to all the teams we met during the visit for their professionalism and commitment to safety.
• Mason Wright (Rig 8, HPPL): Exceptional work leading the induction and providing a clear explanation of RC drilling, particularly for one of our visitors who was new to the discipline. The team’s focus during the rig move and collaring a hole demonstrated the precision and dedication we pride ourselves on.
• Ryan Parry (Rig 16 RTIO): Your personal safety share added depth to the discussion and showcased the importance of chronic unease in maintaining vigilance during operations.
• Giovanni Kerehoma, our HSET Advisor, who joined us onsite and played a key role in supporting the visit. As always, his enthusiasm, professionalism, and proactive engagement were on full display. Thanks, G, for exemplifying the Ranger standard.

These visits highlighted the exceptional work our teams do every day, reinforcing our commitment to safety and operational excellence. Well done to all!

This October, we proudly kicked off our Choose Safety campaign - a dedicated moment to pause, reflect, and re-centre on why safety is at the heart of all we do.

Our leadership team took to the road, visiting crews and rigs to spark meaningful conversations about what safety truly means. The insights we heard were inspiring:
❤️ Ensuring everyone goes home safely to their loved ones.
👷‍♂️ Supporting teammates and looking out for one another.
🚲 Making time for the passions and hobbies that keep life fulfilling.

This campaign wasn’t just about defining what safety looks like or the steps we take to achieve it - it was about uncovering the WHY behind our commitment.

These heartfelt reflections serve as a powerful reminder of the purpose driving every safety action we take. We make safety personal, purposeful, and unwavering.

A sincere thank you to everyone who shared their stories and perspectives. Your input strengthens our commitment to Choose Safety and to keep doing what we do best.

Together, we Choose Safety - because every action matters.

Last week, Driller Mahaylia Raynor-Johnston, Senior Offsider Sam Riddle and Integrated Solutions Manager Shayne McKinnon attended the Women in Mining Summit 2024! Over two incredible days, they joined thought leaders, changemakers, and industry favourites for panel discussions and keynote talks that truly challenged the status quo.

This year’s summit focused on themes of change, connection, and community, leaving our team inspired and motivated to make a positive impact in our industry. We’re excited to bring this energy back to our work and continue pushing for better ways of doing things.

Thank you to Perenti for hosting us on their tables.

Today is R U OK? Day, a day where we are reminded of the critical importance of mental health in our industry. In the mining sector, mental health challenges are particularly pressing, with workers facing long hours, physical strain, and often isolating conditions. Recent studies reveal that mining industry workers experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders than the general population.

At Ranger, we are committed to fostering a supportive work environment where everyone feels empowered to ask, “Are you OK?” and to offer a listening ear when it's needed most.

A simple conversation can change a life. Let’s stay connected and support one another - not just today, but every day.

Say Hello to Ranger 20 Rig!

We're shining a little light on our Ranger 20 Rig! This Austex X350HC (High Capacity) drill rig is mounted on an all-wheel-drive 6X6 MAN truck, making it more compact than traditional RC rigs.

Other features include:
🔹 Efficient and Safe: Hands-free remote operated rod loading to keep our crew safely out of the line of fire, hydraulic slips table, and onboard compressor make Ranger 20 a safety superstar.
🔹 All-Wheel-Drive: The 6X6 MAN truck means Ranger 20 can tackle any terrain with ease.

And there's more:
✅ Cummins QSK19 @ 755v HP engine.
✅ Rig mounted cyclone & splitter with hydraulic functions.
✅ Inline blowdown & blow-up.
✅ All-wheel-drive support truck.

Rig 20 continues to position us at the forefront with the safest and most cutting-edge drilling technology in the industry!

A big shoutout to our crew on Rig 8 for their outstanding performance on a recent client project. Under Supervisor Sam's leadership, and with the dedication of Hoff, Mason, Jack, and Sinead, the site was set up to the highest standards.

The crew's impressive rig move, precise collaring, and vigilant PPE use demonstrated their commitment to safety and efficiency. Their enthusiasm for ongoing learning was clear during post-task reviews and training sessions, with Mason and Sinead taking the lead.

We're incredibly proud of the exceptional teamwork and attention to detail from Rig 8.

Take a look at the photos of our Rig 8 team in action. Keep up the excellent work, everyone!
