- Capital Limited (LSE: CAPD) is a leading provider of integrated mining services, specializing in drilling, mining, maintenance, and geochemical laboratory solutions to customers in the global minerals industry. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of services including exploration drilling (air core, diamond, reverse circulation, directional), grade control drilling, blast hole drilling, underground drilling, load and haul mining services, drill and blast, dewatering, surveys, core orientation, fleet management, software and tool rental, and mineral geochemical analysis through its MSALABS division; its brand portfolio encompasses Capital Drilling, Capital Mining, MSALABS, Mine Power Solutions, and Well Force International. Capital operates across multiple regions with established presence in Africa (Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Mali, Mauritania, Tanzania), Canada, the USA, and other international locations, targeting major mining and exploration companies with a focus on safety, operational efficiency, and support from initial exploration through full-scale production. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with additional core operations in Ebene CyberCity, Mauritius, the company employs approximately 2,854 people and maintains subsidiaries such as CAPD (Mauritius) Ltd. and Capital DI Ltd.
In recent developments, Capital Limited announced a proposed equity fundraise of approximately £31 million (US$40 million) in November 2025 to strengthen its balance sheet, fund US$25 million in new drilling and mining equipment, US$10 million for MSALABS laboratory expansions including a state-of-the-art facility at Nevada Gold Mines, and US$5 million for working capital, amid a favorable demand environment and tightening equipment market. Earlier in 2025, the company signed a major mining services contract at the Reko Diq project in April, with operations expected to ramp up through the year following contract conclusions at Sukari and Belinga in 2024; it also issued its FY 2024 results in March, highlighting transitions toward core profitability in drilling (particularly USA), revenue growth in MSALABS to $50-60 million, and strategic consolidations for future expansion beyond $80 million. Additional updates include Q3 2025 trading results in October, H1 2025 results in August with increased guidance, and management changes noted in prior updates.
