Let’s break down the real prices, key ROI factors, and where to get guaranteed quotes.

Current Market Prices of Second Hand Rigs in Chile

In 2023, average prices for second hand engineering drilling rigs in Chile ranged from $75,000 to $320,000, depending on drill depth (100m to 600m models). For example:

Chinese-made used rigs dominate 45% of Chile’s market due to lower price per piece ($90k–$180k). But European brands like Sandvik retain higher resale values (+20%) for rugged mining sites.

5 Questions to Ask Before Buying

“How many shifts has this rig operated?” (aim under 15,000 hours)
“Is the diesel engine Tier 3 certified?” (required for Atacama mining zones)
“What’s the ROI timeline for 250m/day projects?” (6–14 months is typical)
