Major Drilling

Major Drilling is a Canadian-based company that provides drilling services to mining and exploration companies worldwide. The company was founded in 1980 by Francis McGuire, the company's CEO. The company began as a small operation in New Brunswick, Canada, with just a few employees and a single drilling rig. However, as the demand for drilling services in the mining industry increased, so did Major Drilling's operations. As a result, the company quickly expanded its services and began working with clients in other parts of Canada, as well as in the United States and Mexico. In the 1990s, Major Drilling continued to grow and expand, and by the end of the decade, it had operations in South America, Africa, and Asia. The company also began offering a more comprehensive range of drilling services, including deep-hole and directional drilling. In the early 2000s, Major Drilling went public and began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. This allowed the company to raise additional capital to fund its expansion and investment in new technology. Today, Major Drilling is one of the largest drilling companies in the world, with operations in over 20 countries and a workforce of more than 5,000 employees. The company's clients include some of the biggest names in the mining industry, and it has a reputation for providing high-quality, reliable drilling services. Despite the challenges faced by the mining industry over the years, Major Drilling has continued to thrive and expand, and it is considered one of the most successful companies in its field.
