Global Experience, Tanzanian Focus
Our company focuses on the African markets, we were established in Tanzania and we have been operating here since 2005.
We have well-established operations across the country, having delivered drilling services at Geita Gold Mine since 2006 and North Mara Gold Mine since 2008.
We have a dedicated maintenance and stores facility located in Mwanza and an administrative office in Dar es Salaam.
We also have operations across East, North and West Africa including Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
Local Community Support
We embrace our role in the communities where we work and recognize the impact our operations can have on local society. We strive to develop strong relationships with these communities and build sustainable value in local regions by providing a range of support to residents, local communities and charity organisations.
In my experience of using the Capital Drilling teams over the last 15 years or so I can honestly say they have some of the best and most positively impactful social programmes for their staff and the communities in which they operate.
It is a comfort to know that your ‘contractors’ are just as focussed on developing and maintaining a project's social license to operate as the owner's teams are.
Well done again to Capital Drilling, setting the standard for the industry.
