“Exploration activity levels continue to increase in all regions. While revenue is up 10% as compared to the same quarter last year, the volume of activity increased by more than 10%, given the negative impact of foreign exchange translation on revenue as the US dollar weakened compared to the previous year,” said Denis Larocque, President and CEO of Major Drilling Group International Inc. “We are pleased to see a return of demand for our services in South America and Asia, regions that were most affected by the cyclical downturn. Although drilling prices have not yet recovered, margins improved during the quarter, mainly driven by improved productivity.”

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the Company’s continued exploration and drilling programs, to finalize a maiden resource estimate for the Las Chispas Project, and for general corporate purposes.

Akiba Leisman, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO states that, “Q3 was an especially active quarter for Marlin. Most of the activity focused on expanding and deepening the north side of the Taunus pit and mitigating the rainy season at the La Trinidad Mine. Rainy season ended in early October and the Company regained access to the remaining high grade HS Zone in the north side of the Taunus pit. The Company is now focused on accessing the high grade HS Zone in the south side of the pit, drilling exploration targets at Colinas (less than one kilometer from the pit) and completing an expanded 30-hole exploration program at Commonwealth.”
