Hugh M. Harris Drilling Corporation was started by my father in 1956 in Riverton Wyoming drilling for uranium. During his lifetime we worked for many mining companies here and abroad. Harris Y Cia. Drilling was utilized on the discovery hole at the Escondida Copper Mine in Chile South America. This resulted in the largest copper porphyry deposit ever found.
In 1986 I formed Harris Exploration Drilling and Associates Inc. My plan was to have a diverse group of drills which could work in multiple types of drilling and minimize the permitting required by lowering the disturbance. Myself, Patrick Harris and my drillers have worked on all types of mineral exploration projects including gold, silver, copper, uranium, coal, beryllium, molybdenum, nickel, lithium and various rare earths in North and South America as well as the Caribbean Islands. We have also drilled commercial and residential water wells, geothermal gradient wells, seismograph projects, shallow gas , coalbed methane and tar sand wells, cathode protection wells and many different engineering applications including monitoring wells for hazardous fluids and piezometer wells on earthen dams.
