Major Drilling est une entreprise canadienne qui fournit des services de forage à des compagnies minières et d'exploration à travers le monde. La compagnie a été fondée en 1980 par Francis McGuire, le PDG de l'entreprise.
La compagnie a commencé comme une petite opération au Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada, avec seulement quelques employés et une seule foreuse. Cependant, à mesure que la demande de services de forage dans l'industrie minière augmentait, les opérations de Major Drilling ont également augmenté. Par conséquent, l'entreprise a rapidement étendu ses services et a commencé à travailler avec des clients dans d'autres parties du Canada, ainsi qu'aux États-Unis et au Mexique.
Dans les années 1990, Major Drilling a continué de croître et de s'étendre, et à la fin de la décennie, elle avait des opérations en Amérique du Sud, en Afrique et en Asie. L'entreprise a également commencé à offrir une gamme plus complète de services de forage, y compris le forage en profondeur et directionnel.
Au début des années 2000, Major Drilling est entrée en bourse et a commencé à être cotée à la Bourse de Toronto. Cela a permis à l'entreprise de lever des fonds supplémentaires pour financer son expansion et ses investissements dans de nouvelles technologies.
Aujourd'hui, Major Drilling est l'une des plus grandes entreprises de forage au monde, avec des opérations dans plus de 20 pays et un effectif de plus de 5 000 employés. Les clients de l'entreprise comprennent certaines des plus grandes entreprises de l'industrie minière, et elle est réputée pour fournir des services de forage fiables et de haute qualité. Malgré les défis auxquels l'industrie minière a été confrontée au fil des ans, Major Drilling a continué de prospérer et de s'étendre, et elle est considérée comme l'une des entreprises les plus réussies de son domaine.
Join Kevin Dwyer, a seasoned stock trader, and Robynne Eaton, an entrepreneurial filmmaker, in 'The Mine$tockers' as they embark on a thrilling international quest. Venturing into rugged and often perilous mining territories, they investigate publicly traded mining companies, from gold to base metals, seeking profitable investments and making critical investment decisions.
Their journey digs deep into the lives of local communities and complex relationships between mining operations, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous peoples.

Travel alongside them in diverse modes, from RVs to seaplanes, as they uncover the hidden stories and histories of the mining world, offering a unique perspective on the challenges and beauties of the global mining landscape.
But the adventure doesn't stop with watching - viewers can dive into the action themselves with the Mine$tockers Fantasy Trading Pool. This immersive experience allows you to create your own trading portfolio with $100,000 in fantasy bucks and compete against the Mine$tockers throughout the season. The stakes are high: half of the growing cash prize pool goes to the top-performing trader, while the other half is earmarked for a charity of the Mine$tockers' choice. However, if the Mine$tockers themselves clinch the top spot on the scoreboard at season's end, the entire prize pot will be donated to charity. It's not just about watching investments unfold - it's about testing your own trading mettle in this high-stakes, real-time challenge.
