Contract Extension in North Mara
Capital Drilling Limited (CAPD:LN), the Africa focused drilling
company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a two year
extension agreement (the "agreement") at Acacia's North Mara mine,
for the continued provision of blast hole and grade control
drilling services.
Capital Drilling has been active at the North Mara Mine since
2008, and commenced the full service production drilling contract
in 2016. The extended agreement now runs to December 2019 and
reflects the Group's strong operational performance over the
initial two-year contract term. There are currently five rigs on
site carrying out blast hole and grade control drilling services,
which we expect to remain in place for the duration of the
contract.
Commenting on the contract extension, Jamie Boyton, Chairman
said:
"Capital Drilling has been working with Acacia for nine years
and we are delighted to continue this relationship as the demand
for our services continues. This contract extension is a testament
to the Group's solid operational performance and is consistent with
our expectations."
