 Master Drill­ing Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of Master Drill­ing Group, has entered into partnership with Pamicor Limited, a Ghanaian firm specialised in development and production, drilling and human resources management for the mining industry.

The alliance is to empower Master Drilling Ghana to deliver comprehensive turnkey solutions to the underground mining sector and promote the local content agenda of the government in the mining sector.

The Executive Director of Master Drilling Ghana Limited, Mr Gary Sheppard, underscored the strategic significance of the acquisition.
