INDUSTRY FUNDAMENTALS
Base & precious metals have experienced record pricing growth over the past 4 years
Exploration budgets have risen significantly over the last two years. We anticipate that
2013 will stay on course
Source: MEG
9. 9
GLOBAL MINING INDUSTRY IS FACING A MAJOR
SUPPLY/DEMAND IMBALANCE FOR PRECIOUS & BASE METALS
In the longer-term the fundamental drivers of the
exploration and mining business remain positive,
with worldwide supply for most metals expected
to tighten and higher demand coming from the
emergence of the BRIC countries over the last 10
years
The pressure is high for more advanced
exploration programs to be developed as fast as
possible to take advantage of the higher
commodity prices, driven by depleting reserves,
lower global inventories and improving demand
Cabo Drilling has all of its fleet located in Canada,
United States, Europe and Latin America where
over 50% of worldwide exploration activity is
taking place, therefore Cabo is well positioned for
growth in worldwide demand for drilling services
