Near-term Growth Opportunities
Expansion into Europe began in 2007 in Spain
and continued into Albania in 2008
Cabo is currently in negotiations with potential
clients in Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia
Additional drill capacity may be required in
these regions in 2014
Cabo is in early discussions to acquire an
explosives and blasting services business
Blasting services are highly complementary to
drilling services and would allow Cabo to
diversify into road/bridge construction,
commercial demolition and general contracting
to smooth out the impact of economic cycles
Cabo is in discussions to acquire several small
drilling services companies in the USA, Ontario
and certain Africa nations
With the downturn in the mineral drilling
services sector, several accretive opportunities
are available to create significant value
Cabo is evaluating opportunities to provide
contract repair and maintenance services to the
mining industry
