We have successfully secured contracts in key mining regions across Africa, including the DRC, Ghana, Botswana, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Niger, as well as undertaking significant raise bore work for First Quantum in Zambia.

Master Drilling Ghana has entered into a partnership with Pamicor Limited, a Ghanaian firm. The
