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.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.
Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.
Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.
No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
