In March of 1995, Major Drilling Group International Inc. undertook its initial public offering, listing shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange. However, our story begins 15 years before that. In the first twenty years of its history, Major Drilling pursued a strategy of expanding geographically as a conventional drilling company.
We acquired several mineral exploration drilling companies in Eastern Canada between 1980 and 1985. Our strategy in these acquisitions was to buy equipment at a reasonable price, strengthen the Company by adding talented and experienced personnel and increase the geographic reach and client diversity of the business.
