Testimonials
We have been using Impala 3 core trays since 2016 and find them a lot more user friendly than the previous metal trays we once used. The added bonus of the easily attached lids has help with transportation and reduced the chance of core loss. In an industry like mining with a safety first mentality I would recommend Impala 3 core trays for any in pit or exploration drilling program.
