MINERAL DRILLING SERVICES MACRO ENVIRONMENT
•
Metals pricing is the key driver to mineral
drilling. Prices entered a bear market in
the second half of 2012 and have
continued to deteriorate since then.
•
Majors have reviewed their cost
structures and significantly decreased
their CAPEX, including exploration.
•
Market sentiment towards mining in
general, and juniors in particular, is still
negative; few explorers can raise capital
on the market today.
•
Worldwide Mineral Exploration Spending1
FAR Activity by Mine Stage 2015:
More exposed to Production
Drilling market is in the low part of the
cycle. However, producers will need to
replace depleting reserves through
exploration activity.
