Since 2016, Avataa Rouillier Drilling has been offering specialized diamond drilling services in the Nunavik territory, in collaboration with Charlie Watt Jr. and Christine Nakoolak.

Since 2016, Youdin Rouillier Drilling has been the result of an alliance between Rouillier Drilling and Mr. Ted Moses, an influential figure and ardent defender of the integration of the Cree into the economic development of the Eeyou Istchee.

Since 2020, we’ve been working closely with Coop Pikogan. This partnership recently took a new direction with the announcement of the creation of Forage Anicinape Rouillier.
