Why Explorers Choose Lantern

Lantern is built for drilling contractors and resource companies who need reliable field execution — not just reporting tools.

To reinforce disciplined commercial execution, Lantern appointed Fiona Pinnell as Chief Growth Officer. With over 25 years of experience across mining and industrial technology, Fiona brings deep operational insight and disciplined commercialization experience to Lantern’s next stage of growth.

Software only has value if it works in the field. If crews don’t trust it, it won’t drive performance.

What Changes when Lantern is Implemented

Admin is Reduced

Stop chasing manual reports, approvals, and spreadsheet updates.

Drillers enter once.
Office doesn’t re-key.
Managers stop chasing missing data.

Clean Field Data from Day One

Capture accurate data directly in the field — so there’s nothing to fix later.

When data is clean at the source, everything downstream runs smoother.

Move to Billing Faster

Turn field data into invoices without delays, and gain clear visibility into real drilling costs.

Shorter invoice cycles.Better contractor relationships.Stronger cost control.

If your current drilling software feels heavier than it should… If your teams are exporting to Excel more than they admit… If billing cycles are longer than they need to be…

It may be time for a different approach.

Lantern is entering its next phase — focused on practical adoption, field execution, and software that works on shift.

Let’s talk about what that could look like for your operation.
