Contracts Update
Capital (LSE: CAPD), a leading mining services company, is pleased to announce the award of a further significant contract at Reko Diq, as well as other contract awards across drilling and laboratory services.
Commenting on the new contract awards, Jamie Boyton, Executive Chairman, said:
"We are seeing strong momentum across the business, as we move through Q2 2025, driven by both a successful initial ramp up of our mining contract at Reko Diq and through the award of multiple new contracts. We are pleased to announce our new borehole drilling services contract at Reko Diq, which is a new revenue stream for the business, and further underpins our strong operating relationship with Barrick. We have also been awarded a number of new exploration drilling contracts, as the exploration market improves from the sustained high gold prices. MSALABS, after a strong start to the year, continues its positive trajectory with the commissioning of the state-of-the-art commercial laboratory in Elko, Nevada and new contract awards and extensions. We look forward to providing our Q2 trading update on 17 July 2025."
Borehole Drilling Services Contract with Reko Diq Mining Company Limited
Capital has been awarded a 3-year contract with a 1-year extension option to provide borehole drilling services to support the development of the Reko Diq copper-gold project, operated by Barrick.
The contract covers the drilling, casing and development of production water holes essential for the Reko Diq project. To fulfil this contract, Capital has purchased a specialised water bore drilling rig manufactured by Italian rig manufacturer Fraste. The rig is now on-site and undergoing commissioning while waiting on other critical components required to perform this multi-year contract.

· Allied Gold - Côte d'Ivoire
· Toubani Resources - Mali
· International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) - Gabon
