Emmanuel Bonte and Cindy Fick from Zenex Drilling will be attending the IMARC Conference in Sydney later this month.
The international mining and resources conference is an annual event that always delivers great value and professional development opportunities. Team members from Zenex Drilling joined in with the PNG 50th Anniversary celebrations on Lihir Island recently.
“The mix of culture, celebration and tradition is just fantastic,” said Managing Director Cindy Fick. As Papua New Guinea (PNG) celebrates 50 years of independence, it provides us with a moment to pause, honour the past, and look ahead to the future we continue to build together.
As Papua New Guinea marks 50 years of independence, Zenex Drilling is celebrating the national milestone with a step that blends technical innovation with local ambition: the arrival of the LRS275 Duo Sonic Drill Rig from Dutch manufacturer Eijkelkamp. For Zenex, this is more than a fleet upgrade, it’s a statement about where PNG’s homegrown drilling capability is heading next.
After more than 30 years of drilling expertise across Papua New Guinea’s most remote and rugged terrain, Zenex Drilling is stepping boldly into its next chapter, with international growth on the horizon, a growing fleet of specialised equipment, and a workforce strategy that puts Papua New Guinean talent at the centre.
On behalf of the entire team at Zenex Drilling, I wish to share the sad news of the passing of our Director and dear friend, Friedrich Waldemar Appel (Wal) Fick, who died on 17 July 2025 in Townsville, Australia.
Wal was not only a founding figure in our business, but a remarkable leader whose vision, determination, and integrity shaped the culture and direction for both Zenex Drilling and Drillogy, which will carry these values into the future. His influence extended far beyond Australia and PNG, building relationships and earning respect across the global drilling community. |
