Mudex

Five more years together with TITELINE GROUP.

Bill Ricciardi came down to Mudex HQ in Canning Vale this week for a catch-up, and he and Dave etched another 5-year extension to the Mudex and TITELINE GROUP partnership.

Mudex has been supplying drilling fluids and on-the-ground technical support to Titeline's operations for years now. That kind of partnership doesn't just run on product. It runs on trust, honest conversations, and people who actually show up to get things done on on-site.

When you take steps to keep working together into the future, It means the product is doing its job. The technical support works. And the people on both sides actually want to keep building something together.

Proud of what the two teams have built. Looking forward to what comes next.

To the Titeline crew — here's to the next chapter. Cheers guys 🤝

From 160 metres per bit to 391 metres.

Two 12-hour shifts down to two 8-hour shifts.

SJ Drilling runs 2000m+ exploration holes in South Africa's platinum fields. These are experienced operators working in demanding ground. They knew their craft.

What they didn't have was a fluid program built for their specific conditions.

Soluble iron in their influx water was silently breaking down their liquid polymer system. It's not the kind of thing you'd pick up without digging into the chemistry. Their previous supplier never caught it.

Heinrich Hoops and the Mudex Africa team identified it early.

From there it was a full rebuild alongside the SJ Drilling crew. A switch to a PAC-based program using VIS PAC RD, PENETREX and DD5000. Custom IBC mixing setups built on site. Settling sump redesign to stop cuttings being recycled back down hole at depth.

That's what happens when a capable crew gets the right support.

Reach out and let's take a look if you need a hand. 🔩

Five years with Mudex, Dean. Not a small thing.

Dean is the guy behind every order that leaves our warehouse. Picking, packing, loading. Day in, day out. If it goes out the door right, Dean had a hand in it.

But that is only part of the story.

Off the clock he is a respected referee and umpire in local sport. At lunch he is the one making the whole room laugh. And at home he is the kind of dad you hope your kids get to have.

What stands out most though is this. Even on the days when things are not going his way, Dean is still the first one to drop a kind word on someone else. That is not a small thing either.

He is the kind of person who reminds you what showing up with a good heart actually looks like.

Five years of reliability. Five years of heart. Five years of being exactly who you say you are every single day.

Thank you Deano. Mudex is better for having you in it. Here is to many more. 🤝
