As 2025 comes to an end, Webdrill CEO Jared Webb reflects on a year defined by operational precision, disciplined growth, and a continued commitment to delivering outstanding results for mining partners across Australia and North America. With record rig deployments, supply-chain breakthroughs, and leadership growth, Webdrill has strengthened its position as an industry leader with fast accurate results.

Record Productivity and Fleet Expansion

"The biggest achievement for 2025 is the fact we put a rig to work every six weeks while maintaining a 50‑metre average across our fleet on all rigs, all holes, all angles," says Jared Webb. "And we achieved this without compromising the accuracy and quality we're known for. On top of that, we've grown the leadership team to what it is today, while delivering results."

This level of consistency highlights Webdrill's ability to scale while preserving quality, an increasingly critical differentiator in a tightening market. The company's expanded leadership team has also laid the groundwork for sustained growth, enhancing capability across operations, safety, logistics, and client service.

Supply Chain Breakthroughs Enable Faster Growth 

In an environment where many mining businesses continue to face supply chain pressures, Webdrill turned challenge into opportunity.

"We debottlenecked our supply line so we can now assemble a rig in just four weeks at our Landsdale HQ," Webb explains. "It's delivering better parts, better pricing, and faster turnaround."

This improvement enhances agility, allowing Webdrill to respond quickly to client needs and scale as demand accelerates in 2026 and beyond.

Strong Performance Across All Regions

Webdrill's operational performance remained consistently strong throughout the year.

  • Australia: Across Norseman, Kalgoorlie, and Ora Banda, Webdrill delivered a fleet‑wide average of 50 meters.
  • North America: The team achieved an impressive 51 meters per shift, even in arctic conditions and while ramping up rig numbers.

"These results speak to the team's professionalism and the strength of our leadership and processes," says Jared. "There's plenty more growth to come."

People and Planning: The Backbone of Webdrill

Behind every milestone is a highly capable team. Jared Webb emphasizes the company's unique planning method as a differentiator that drives clarity, alignment, and performance.

"Our people use our planning method every day, and it flows through the entire business—from operations to communication between departments," Jared says. "I feel it's second to none in the industry. Our team is extremely strong."

This culture of precision, accountability, and collaboration remains a key reason mining companies across the globe trust Webdrill with their drilling programs.

Webdrill enters 2026 with momentum.

"We're building 10 rigs this calendar year and have new clients coming on board in Australia," says Jared Webb. "We're focused on strengthening capability, expanding our fleet, and continuing to deliver exceptional value."

With a 22‑rig fleet today, a growing global footprint, and a leadership team focused for scale, Webdrill is well-positioned to support mining companies with their underground drilling.

2025 was a year of resilience, innovation, and high performance. With clear vision and ambitious growth plans, Webdrill is ready to deliver even greater outcomes for clients in 2026 and beyond.
