Company Statement

Cabo Drilling Corp. is a mineral and specialty drilling services provider headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia. With operations across Canada, Cabo’s growth within the mineral and specialty drilling services sector means improved services, technical capability and geo-graphical reach for its customers.

Cabo’s mission statement is:

To be the first choice for mineral exploration, mining, geoenvironmental/geotechnical & geothermal customers by offering the best value in the drilling services industry.

To be first choice among employees by offering the most stable, safe and rewarding workplace in the drilling services industry.

To be the first choice for investors by consistently generating superior value and providing excellent corporate governance to shareholders and stakeholders.

Going forward into 2009 the Company will:

  • Deliver consistent high-quality services based on customer needs.
  • Move drills and personnel between the Company’s divisions to take
    advantage of new contracts and projects as they arise.
  • Focus on debt reduction, decreased per unit operating and
    administration costs, reduced capital and inventory expenditures and
    increasing cash.
  • Continue to train and build the skills of employees, enabling them to
    carry out their jobs in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner.


Current Operations

Cabo Drilling Corp. is a mineral and speciality drilling services company headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia.

Cabo provides drilling services through its divisions:

  • Cabo Drilling (Atlantic) Corp. of Springdale, Newfoundland
  • Cabo Drilling (Ontario) Corp. of Kirkland Lake, Ontario
  • Cabo Drilling (Pacific) Corp. of Surrey, British Columbia
  • Cabo Drilling de Mexico S.A. de C.V. of Hermosillo, Mexico
  • Cabo Drilling (Panama) Corp. of Panama City, Republic of Panama
  • Cabo Drilling Spain, SL of Seville, Spain
  • Forages Cabo Inc. of Montreal, Quebec

The acquisition of Cabo's divisions has contributed directly to the Company's ability to reach one of its major goals: to become Canada's third largest mineral drilling company.

As a drilling services company, Cabo offers a unique investment opportunity by providing exposure to the mineral exploration and mining sectors without the commensurate risks associated with investing in mineral exploration companies. Additionally, drilling companies are not tied to a single commodity or project but have the ability to capitalize on the market's constant drive to locate new mineral resources.

Additionally, Cabo has expanded its operations into opportune alternative drilling sectors such as geoenvironmental/geotechnical and geothermal drilling. By consolidating through acquisition Cabo has achieved a competitive edge with additional customer services, improved productivity and greater economies of scale. Cabo will continue to align its subsidiaries over the next year to realize the following benefits:
  • A reduction in drilling company operating costs; and
  • Improved revenue as a result of offering increased services and greater customer awareness.
