101 Sampling Solutions Pty Ltd designs and manufactures drilling rigs and sampling systems purpose-built for the mineral exploration and geotechnical sectors.

Our compact, high-efficiency rigs are engineered for precision soil and sub-surface investigation across exploration sites, infrastructure projects, and remote access locations.

Drawing on more than a decade of field experience, 101 has refined a product range that meets the exacting demands of exploration and geotechnical professionals—while remaining versatile enough for related applications such as environmental assessment.

Using a modular design philosophy, every 101 drill can be configured from a robust base platform and a suite of proven options to create a rig tailored to your specific drilling application.

With the motto “Little drills for big jobs,” 101 was established in 2015 to provide compact, transportable machines that deliver full-scale performance in constrained or hard-to-access terrain—typical of exploration and geotechnical projects where mobility and cost efficiency matter most.

Our core range includes the easy-mount Meredith Sampler, the lightweight 1750 Scout, the versatile 2100 Explorer, and the field-proven Eziprobe system. Each unit is multi-purpose and built from interchangeable components, allowing operators to start with a base model and add functionality as project requirements evolve—maximising productivity and minimising capital outlay.

For geotechnical and mineral exploration work, 101 also supplies complementary tooling and sampling equipment, including push tubes, solid and hollow augers, and hand-held systems designed for accuracy, efficiency, and portability.
