MINING opportunities may lie ahead .
“ It ’ s opened up the door for us to work for some blue chip clients , who are giving us an opportunity because of the reputation the business has for being focused on delivering ,” says Wallace . “ We ’ re branching into other areas systematically and at a steady pace , where we can control our expansion , but also bring new technology to the table as well .”
Looking forward What does the future look like for McKay Drilling ? Regardless of the state of the industry at large , the focus for McKay will be on growth , developing further relationships with junior and blue chip mining operations alike in Australia and Brazil .
“ The business is moving forward , with expansion and consolidating our business with a mixture of blue chip and exploration clients . We ’ re focusing on diversification so we don ’ t have all our eggs in one basket ,” says Wallace . “ Within the next 18 months we hope to grow to a 25 drill operation .”
But the company is not focused on growth alone — the key is controlled and steady growth while continuing to improve every stop of the way . “ In the process of expanding , we are bringing the rest of our equipment up to the latest standards that are out there , to offer it to our clients ,” he adds . “ The aim is to reduce our exposure to injuries with the help of innovation and training our people .”
