DRILLING, BLASTING & EXPLOSIVES

Capital Limited continues to build on its African relationships Over the past two decades, Capital Limited has evolved and established itself as a premier mining services provider across Africa, the Middle East and North America. The company now primarily operates on Tier-1 long life mining assets having built long-term relationships with blue-chip international mining companies such as Barrick Gold, AngloGold Ashanti, Fortescue, Centamin, Perseus and Newmont.

C apital offers a complete range of drilling, mining, maintenance and laboratory solutions. The company’s services include end-to-end drilling solutions for exploration and production projects, mining and earth moving services and a full range of geochemical analysis services that uses some of the most advanced technology in the industry. This comprehensive service offering combines the latest technologies with the highest standards of safety, and positions Capital as a trusted partner in the mining sector. Capital’s strategic beginnings in Africa Since the company’s inception, Africa has served as a cornerstone of Capital’s operations. Capital has firmly positioned itself as a leading partner for both exploration and production activities on the African continent with a robust presence. The company’s extensive regional footprint spans multiple African countries stretching from West Africa (Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and Mali), to Northern and Eastern Africa (Egypt, Zambia, DRC and Tanzania) and Central Africa (Gabon). The company has been delivering its services in Africa for nearly 20 years, from an initial exploration drilling contract in Tanzania in 2005, to now operating on some of the continent’s major operations, including five of the ten largest gold mines. Capital has established a very strong presence with African gold producers, developers and explorers and has expanded its operational base to copper, nickel and iron ore assets across the continent. The reputation built by Capital in Africa, with long-term blue chip clients particularly, for delivering the highest safety standards in the industry, has led to a customer-led geographic expansion outside Africa into the Middle East and more recently North America. For instance, Capital has operations at Barrick Gold’s Bulyanhulu and North Mara mines in Tanzania and Kibali in the DRC, but also operates other Barrick operations such as Reko Diq in Pakistan (one of the largest known copper/gold deposits globally), Jabal Sayid in Saudi Arabia (50/50 joint venture between Barrick and Ma’aden producing copper), and the Nevada Gold Mines Complex (a joint venture in the US between Barrick and Newmont in what is the single largest gold-producing complex in the world). Capital’s drilling and geochemical analysis services are now being used by Barrick on seven mines across five countries. Drilling Capital is one of Africa’s premier drilling services companies, with a fleet of 127 drill rigs at the close of H1 2024. It offers its drilling services to some of the globe’s top mining companies that have significant reserves, long mine lives and low operating costs, ensuring
