In the search for cleaner and more environmentally friendly forms of energy, i.e., renewable energy sources, geothermal energy presents itself as a good solution. Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated in the interior of the Earth by the slow decay of radioactive elements, chemical reactions, or friction during the movement of tectonic masses. The amount of geothermal energy is so large that it can be considered inexhaustible. Use of geothermal boreholes Geothermal boreholes can be used for heating and cooling facilities and electricity production, and geothermal water is used in spas and health resorts.

GEMEX MP 850 is an extremely powerful Gemsa’s mid-range mineral exploration drilling rig , can be used in a wide range of drilling operations such as mineral exploration, directional drilling and geotechnical drilling all over the world – from easy access open pit mines to the remotest of areas.
Reliability is essential when drilling in tough locations. Drill rigs are based on proven and tried technology an simple design, which ensures continuous and uninterrupted operation even in the harshest conditions.
With MP 850, there is no need to rely on luck.
Open in-line form rig has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind. All components very accessible for fast and safe servicing.
The entire drilling process is controlled from a single control panel providing the operator with an excellent overview of the drill site.
