Major Drilling Group International Inc. has strengthened its specialized drilling capabilities with the acquisition of Bunbury Drilling Company (BDC), a leading mine dewatering drilling contractor based in Bunbury, Western Australia. With more than 70 years of operational expertise, BDC brings highly specialized mine site services and technical capabilities that complement Major Drilling’s established Australian operations. The acquisition expands Major Drilling’s service offering into the technically demanding mine dewatering drilling market and creates a potential platform for future growth in other mining regions where these services are in demand.
BDC has built a strong reputation working exclusively with senior mining producers in Western Australia, with a focus on safety, equipment maintenance and operational performance. Its eight high-end, purpose-built specialized drills and highly skilled crews provide Major Drilling with immediate access to an established team, specialized assets and decades of industry expertise. By adding BDC’s mine dewatering capabilities, Major Drilling continues to advance its strategy of expanding specialized drilling services, strengthening relationships with major mining companies, and positioning the business for further growth in high-value, technically complex drilling markets.
‘We are very excited to welcome BDC and its employees into the Major Drilling group,’ said Denis Larocque, President & CEO of Major Drilling. ‘This acquisition is directly aligned with our strategic plan, allowing us to offer a new line of highly specialized drilling services to senior companies in an established market, diversifying our revenue streams and expanding on existing relationships. BDC has a strong reputation in Australia, particularly among major mining companies, which has been built on decades of delivering innovation and high-quality services to its clients. BDC’s management team will remain in place to continue building on these strong relationships, while our existing local team is well positioned to support a smooth integration. BDC and Major Drilling share similar cultural and operational values, with a commitment to safety, strong maintenance practices, and high operational standards.’
