About us

Serving the global hard rock and soft rock mining sectors for over 25 years.

Hardrock has been manufacturing auger and regular hex drill rods since 1996 in our factory located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We are a private corporation, our shareholders, management and staff are committed to honourable business practices and reliable service.


In August 2015, Hardrock acquired Vertex Mining tools out of Concord, Ontario. By adding the Vertex product line to Hardrock's existing product lines, Hardrock-Vertex now offers a one stop shop for mining products.


In April 2016, Hardrock-Vertex moved to its new, purpose-built facility in Val Caron, Ontario, Canada. Our continuing investment in skilled tradespersons and equipment has made Hardrock-Vertex even more versatile than ever before.


It is not by chance that Hardrock-Vertex products outperform and outlast other mining-products.

We continue to invest significant effort over many years into developing and improving our products through an active corporate research and development program. We have invested a great deal of time and resources to help our customers improve their drilling efficiencies.
