Mincon APAC

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our company’s founder, Paddy Purcell, on Wednesday December 3, 2025.

Paddy Purcell was 39 years old, when he along with his wife Mary founded Mincon. Paddy and Mary built Mincon from the ground up through hard work, focus, and an unwavering belief in what a committed team can do together. The culture that exists across the Mincon Group today – one of dedication, resilience, and ambition – reflects the values they had when starting the business.

Paddy’s legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of the company and will continue to live on across the global world of the Mincon Group.

What's protecting your drill head?

Percussion driller? Mincon manufactures the leading solution for both DTH and floating shock-absorbing requirements.

The AERZORBER®, our floating shock absorber, uses a unique air cushion technology instead of mechanical absorption by rubber or coil springs. The result? Improved drill performance, greater reliability and reduced drilling costs.

Manufactured right here in Perth, Western Australia.

Over the years, we’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with drillers, tackling challenges in the toughest conditions. We've refined our designs, enhanced performance, and engineered tooling that sets the benchmark for reliability and productivity.

We’re not the originators—we’re the progressors. Innovation drives us, and ‘good enough’ isn’t in our vocabulary.

The result?

Mincon's MRXT RC hammer and MR shank bit combo:

∙ Faster pe*******on rates.

∙ Better sample recovery.
