All operations involve deep directional diamond requiring a total of 30 rigs, and have a total face value of $74.8 million.
"We are partnering with Vale in Canada since 2007 and developed an excellent relationship with this prestigious client which was one of the very first to test us for our deep directional drilling technology. This is a great reward for all our staff, engineers, field crews and support teams," said Daniel Simoncini, CEO of Foraco.
