Major Drilling Reports First Quarter Results, Robust Cash Position Drives Share Repurchases and Long-Term Debt Reduction to Zero
“We continued to see steady growth every month of the quarter, with increased activity from copper, lithium, silver and nickel customers, offsetting the reduced demands of junior gold exploration companies,” commented Mr. Denis Larocque, CEO of Major Drilling. “Early in the summer, forest fires and project delays due to permitting impacted our North American operations, however, by the end of the quarter, we saw the return of strong activity levels. We were particularly pleased with the results from our South American and Australasian operations, which are seeing a pickup in activity that bodes well for the future.”
