You must be new here, welcome! Diamond drills are used to explore ore bodies. Before a mine is built the area must be proven to contain a definable mineral resource, this drill cuts a tube shaped core of rock which is than brought up in a core pipe that is than sawed in half, part sorted for later research, the rest is sent for assay to determine the ore grade.

Heres a shot of a diamond drill for the exploration section as well as an explanation.

A diamond core drill operates by sinking a steel cased pipe down into rock, the center of the pipe collects a round "core" sample which is recovered when the pipe is pulled back out of the hole. This sample is split in two, one half for records the other is sent for assay to determine the mineral / metal grade of the sample.

This just in!

Fresh from the core shack, NAK has drilled an astonishing 300m thick bed of NAKquadah!
