Commenting on the results, Mark Parsons, CEO of Capital Drilling, said:

"The increasing interest from the mining industry, particularly over the last few months, to invest in assets combined with the firming of selected metal pricing, has injected some momentum in tendering for new contracts as well higher demand from existing clients for the Group's drilling solution services.

The combination of deploying our Lean Operating Model in a steadily improving market environment, particularly the gold industry, our largest market segment, has seen utilization of our exploration rigs improve in line with our growth strategy. Our focus on geographic expansion has also been successful with projects awarded and mobilized in Mali, West Africa, Serbia in Europe, and re-entry into Ethiopia.

For the balance of FY16 we will continue to focus on: further geographic and underground expansion in emerging markets; building on our operational capability to ensure we are appropriately resourced to manage increasing activity levels; diligently managing our costs and providing excellence across a full range of drilling services.

We have a highly competitive operational model, diversified long-term contracts, a strong balance sheet, and a progressive dividend policy - Capital Drilling remains confident that it can continue to leverage its position in what appears to be a sustainable upswing in our core markets."

About Capital Drilling

Capital Drilling provides specialised drilling services to mineral exploration and mining companies in emerging and developing markets, for exploration, development and production stage projects. The Company currently owns and operates a fleet of 94 drilling rigs with established operations in Botswana, Chile, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Serbia and Tanzania.

Chief Executive Officer Review

Market conditions over the first half of 2016 remain encouraging for Capital Drilling and suggest a sustained cyclical upswing. Improved conditions are generating additional exploration drilling project opportunities, which are expanding both in size and duration. Mining companies have also begun to allocate budget expenditure to new brownfield exploration programs. These developments can largely be attributed to the continued confidence in the sustainability of the recovery of the gold price, together with positive movements for copper, nickel and zinc. Capital Drilling also has begun to see the benefits of increased activity as new exploration contracts extend into longer term programs.

Improvement in the sector has seen the Company experience half-yearly revenue growth since 2014. A marginal increase was reported in the second half of 2015 as the business stabilized from the historical lows of the industry downturn, with a further 3.4% increase in the first half of this financial year. Group revenue for 1H16 was $41.7 million, up from $39.7 million (2H15) and $39.0 million in 1H15 (up 7.0% on 1H15).

Similarly, Capital Drilling has seen incremental increases in its average rig utilization. Utilization for this half was 40%, up from 34% in the first half of 2015 and 35% in the second half. Indeed, Q2 alone this year saw a sharp 22% increase in rig utilisation from Q1 as Capital Drilling delivered on contracts won late in that quarter. All production rigs are fully utilized and focus remains on improving utilization of the exploration fleet. Recently the Company has been successful in a number of tenders for exploration and delineation projects.

Average revenue per operating rig (ARPOR) was down on the previous half due to an increase in reverse circulation (RC) drilling. This type of exploration drilling traditionally yields intermittent revenues due to the stop/start nature through the month resulting in lower overall revenue than production or diamond drilling, in turn negatively impacting ARPOR. Despite this decrease, gross profit margins were successfully maintained due to the Lean Operating Model.

As a result of the upswing of the market, the Group has been preparing its stacked exploration fleet to meet its stringent Drilling Equipment Standard (DES) and ensuring it is operationally ready. The DES provides minimum standards to consistently improve productivity and ensure safe operating conditions on site. Greater exploration activity has also increased expenditure on mobilization, customs and duties in the first half.

Operational Delivery

In the first quarter of 2015, the Group implemented its Lean Operating Model to combat the competitive exploration and delineation markets. This approach continues to deliver benefits, with the award of several new contracts in 1H16 increasing utilization of the exploration fleet. New contracts awarded over the period include:

   --    Contracts awarded in H1 2016: 
   >>      Alexander Nubia, Egypt: 1 diamond rig, commenced March 
   >>      Algold, Mauritania: 1 multi-purpose rig, commenced May 
   >>      OreCorp Limited, Mauritania; 1 diamond rig, commenced March 
   >>      Tanga Resources, Tanzania: 1 multi-purpose rig, commenced April 
   --    Contracts awarded after period end: 

>> RAKITA Exploration (part of the Freeport McMoran Company), Serbia: 4 deep hole exploration directional drilling rigs, commenced early August

   >>      Ascom Mining, Ethiopia: 2 diamond rigs, mobilised on June, commenced in July 
   >>    Resolute, Mali: 1 diamond rig, mobilised in June, commenced in July 

Capital Drilling's long-term core production contracts in Egypt (Centamin's Sukari Gold Mine) and Tanzania (AngloGold Ashanti's Geita Gold Mine) continue to underpin performance, providing a stable revenue base for the Group. Additionally, the new Blast Hole and Grade Control contract at Acacia's North Mara Gold Mine is performing well and has diversified the long-term core production contract portfolio.

The Company is operating a fleet of 94 rigs, a significant investment that positions it well to capitalize on improving market conditions. All production rigs are fully utilized on long term contracts - focus for the remainder of 2016 will be on improving utilization of the exploration fleet using the Lean Operating Model. We are already seeing the rewards of this and a benefit from the upswing in the mining industry as a whole as the Company won four new exploration contracts in H1 and three more post-period end.

Quality, Health and Safety

Capital Drilling continues to focus on developing an overarching safety culture throughout the organization. Driven by the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), visible safety leadership across the company is considered of paramount importance.

Capital Drilling is also pleased to report there were no lost time injuries (LTIs) or significant incidents during the start-up of its production contract in North Mara or its other lean operating projects in Mauritania, Egypt, Ethiopia and Mali.

Other significant health and safety achievements for the half as previously announced include:

   --      Nine years LTI free at the Geita Gold Mine in Tanzania, April 2016; 
   --      Eight years LTI free at the Mwanza Support Facility in Tanzania, January 2016; 
   --      Five years LTI at the Tasiast Gold Mine in Mauritania, February 2016; and 
   --      One year LTI at the new Khoemacau Copper Project in Botswana, March 2016. 

Capital Drilling is continually upgrading its fleet to ensure it meets the company's DES to enable consistently high productivity and safe operating conditions and to mitigate potential risks to employees or other personnel on site.

Dividends

The Directors have declared an increased interim dividend of US1.5 cents per share for the first half of 2016 versus US1.1 cents per share in H1 2015, a rise of over 36%. This interim dividend will be paid on 7(th) October 2016 to shareholders on the Record Date of 9(th) September 2016. The Company's shares will be ex-dividend on 8(th) September 2016.

As announced to the market previously, the company paid a final dividend of US2.5 cents per share for the 2015 financial year on 6(th) May 2016.

Outlook

The increased gold price is expected to generate additional exploration opportunities and it is encouraging that these opportunities are traditionally larger in size and longer in duration. Capital Drilling's exploration rig utilization is expected to continue its gradual upward trend of 1H16 as a result of anticipated growth in the exploration market.

New contracts awarded in the first half and delivered in Q2 and Q3 are expected to have a positive impact on revenue in the current half of the year. Capital Drilling forecasts an incremental uplift in FY16 revenue to $88.0 - $90.0 million, together with a material increase in EBITA in the second half despite the increased capital expenditure anticipated during the period as we gear up for projects in 2017.

For the balance of the 2016 financial year, Capital Drilling will continue to focus on growing its existing exploration projects throughout their lifecycles into prefeasibility, delineation and potential production. The Company also expects to grow its production contracts as expansion projects come on line and budgets are approved.

Maturing open pit mines continue to trend towards underground operations, therefore Capital Drilling's strategy of expanding its underground capacity remains sounds. The Company's agreement with Pybar, a leading underground service provider, to co-market their services for underground hard rock mining contracts in Africa aligns with this strategy.

Geographically, the Company will continue to focus on expansion in West Africa and Serbia to position it for potential copper price increases.

It will also remain focused on disciplined cost management across its operations, generating solid cash flows and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Capital Drilling's strong balance sheet, diversified long-term contracts, highly competitive operating model and expanding capabilities place the Company in an excellent position to benefit from improving market conditions. The Company remains committed to rewarding shareholders through its dividend policy while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Capital Drilling cautions that such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of Capital Drilling to be materially different than the Company's estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. These factors include the inherent risks involved in exploration and development of mineral properties, changes in economic conditions, changes in the worldwide price of commodities and project execution delays, many of which are beyond the control of Capital Drilling. Nothing in the report should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy or sell Capital Drilling securities.

Independent review report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

To the members of Capital Drilling Limited

We have been engaged by the Capital Drilling Limited ("Company") to review the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2016 and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended, and related notes 1 to 15. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB"). Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the IASB.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the IAASB. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated set of interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as issued by the IASB and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

 CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED 
 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL 
  STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2016 
 
 1.   Basis of presentation and accounting policies 
 
      Preparation of the condensed consolidated 
       interim financial statements 
      The condensed consolidated interim financial 
       statements of Capital Drilling Limited and 
       Subsidiaries ("Capital Drilling" or the "Group") 
       as at and for the six months ended 30 June 
       2016 (the "Interim Financial Statements") 
       have been prepared in accordance with International 
       Accounting Standard ("IAS") No. 34, "Interim 
       Financial Reporting". They should be read 
       in conjunction with the annual consolidated 
       financial statements and the notes thereto 
       in the Group's Annual Report for the year 
       ended 31 December 2015 which have been prepared 
       in accordance with International Financial 
       Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by 
       the International Accounting Standards Board 
       ("IASB"). The Interim Financial Statements 
       have been reviewed in terms of ISRE 2410. 
 
      Accounting policies 
      The Interim Financial Statements have been 
       prepared on a historical cost basis, except 
       for certain financial instruments which are 
       measured at fair value. The Group has adopted 
       a number of new standards and interpretations 
       effective on or before 1 January 2016, which 
       were described in note 2 of the consolidated 
       financial statements for the year ended 31 
       December 2015. The adoption of these standards 
       and interpretations did not have a material 
       impact on the financial statements. The same 
       accounting policies, presentation and methods 
       of computation have been followed in these 
       condensed consolidated interim financial statements 
       as were applied in the preparation of the 
       consolidated financial statements for the 
       year ended 31 December 2015. 
 
      The preparation of financial statements in 
       conformity with IFRS recognition and measurement 
       principles requires the use of estimates and 
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts 
       of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 
       Management reviews its estimates on an on-going 
       basis using currently available information. 
       Changes in facts and circumstances may result 
       in revised estimates and actual results could 
       differ from those estimates. 
 
 2.   Operations in the interim period 
 
      Capital Drilling Limited is incorporated in 
       Bermuda. The Group provides drilling services 
       including but not limited to exploration, 
       development, grade control and blast hole 
       drilling services to mineral exploration and 
       mining companies located in emerging and developing 
       markets. The Group also provides some equipment 
       rental and information technology services 
       to mining and mining related companies. 
 
      During the six months ended 30 June 2016, 
       the Group provided drilling services in Botswana, 
       Chile, Egypt, Mauritania and Tanzania. 
 
      The seasonality of the Group's operations 
       has no significant impact on the condensed 
       consolidated interim financial statements. 
 
 3.   Taxation 
 
      The tax expense for the period is based on 
       an estimated annual effective tax rate, which 
       requires management to make its best estimate 
       of annual pre-tax income for the year, in 
       the various tax jurisdictions in which the 
       Group operates. During the year, management 
       regularly updates its estimates based on changes 
       in various factors such as operating profits, 
       plant operating performance and cost estimates, 
       including labour, raw materials, energy and 
       other variable costs. 
 
      Due to the tax charge calculations in certain 
       countries in which the Group operates being 
       based on revenues instead of profits, the 
       consolidated taxation expense for the period 
       is not directly linked to profits and losses.

 CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED 
 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL 
 STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2016 
 
 
 
 6.   Property, plant and equipment 
       (continued) 
 
 
 
       The Group disposed of property, plant and equipment 
        with a net carrying amount of $0.6 million 
        (2015: $0.1 million) during the period. A loss 
        of $0.1 million (2015: $0.1 million) was incurred 
        on the disposal of property, plant and equipment. 
 
       At the end of each reporting period, the Group 
        reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 
        assets to determine whether there is any indication 
        that those assets may be impaired. Due to the 
        poor performance of the Group's share price 
        in 2015 and 2016, the net asset value of the 
        Group exceeded its market capitalisation as 
        at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015. The Group 
        identified this circumstance as an indicator 
        of impairment for the current and prior period. 
        As a result, property, plant and equipment 
        was tested for impairment at the reporting 
        date. As at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015 
        management concluded that the carrying amount 
        of property, plant and equipment did not exceed 
        the value in use and therefore, no impairment 
        loss was recognised on that basis. 
 
       For purposes of determining the recoverable 
        value of tangible assets, management estimates 
        discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect 
        current market rates for investments of similar 
        risk. The rate was estimated from the weighted 
        average cost of capital of companies, which 
        operate a portfolio of assets similar to those 
        of the Group's assets. 
 
       In validating the value in use, key assumptions 
        used in the discounted cash-flow model (such 
        as allocating all assets to a single cash generating 
        unit discount rates, average revenue rates, 
        drilling volumes and terminal growth rate) 
        management performed a sensitivity analysis 
        to test the resilience of the assumptions used 
        in determining the value in use for the impairment 
        test. Management believe that reasonable movements 
        in key assumptions would not result in an impairment 
        loss to be recognized.

 10.    Segmental analysis (continued) 
 
        The accounting policies of the reportable 
         segments are the same as the Group's accounting 
         policies described in note 1. Segment profit 
         represents the profit earned by each segment 
         without the allocation of central administration 
         costs, depreciation, other income, finance 
         charges, and income tax. This is the measure 
         reported to the Group's chief executive officer 
         for the purpose of resource allocation and 
         assessment of segment performance.

         the Group's chief executive monitors the tangible, 
         intangible and financial assets attributable 
         to each segment. All assets are allocated 
         to reportable segments with the exception 
         of property, plant and equipment used by the 
         head office companies, certain amounts included 
         in other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents

        Information about major 
        customers 
 
        Included in revenues arising from the Africa segment 
         are revenues of approximately $35.4 million (2015: 
         $34.6 million) which arose from sales to customers 
         that represent more than 10% of the Group's revenue. 
 
 11.    Commitments 
 
        The Group has the following 
         capital commitments at 30 June 
         2016: 
 
  Committed capital expenditure                                    294,333                     541,415 
                                          ================================  ========================== 
 
  The Group has outstanding purchase orders amounting 
   to $4.0 million at 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: 
   $1.6 million). 
 
 12.    Contingencies 
 
  Zambia Tax: 
 
  Capital Drilling (Zambia) Limited is a party to 
   various tax claims by the Zambian Revenue Authority 
   for the tax years 2007 to 2013. On 30 April 2015, 
   the Company received a tax assessment from the 
   Zambian Revenue Authority totalling ZMW 144.1 
   million (USD equivalent: $13.1 million), inclusive 
   of penalties and interest. The claims relate to 
   various taxes, including income tax, value added 
   tax, payroll tax and withholding tax. Management 
   have responded and continues to do so, in detail 
   to these claims, providing the Zambian Revenue 
   Authority with detailed analysis and arguments 
   justifying the Company's tax position. No amount 
   has yet been paid in this regard and discussions 
   with the Zambian Revenue Authority are ongoing. 
   The claims are subject to substantial uncertainties 
   and, therefore, the probability of loss and an 
   estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. 
   The Directors believe that a significant portion 
   of the tax claim by the Zambian Revenue Authority 
   is without merit. On this basis, an amount of 
   $1.6 million has been raised in the statement 
   of financial position at 31 December 2015 relating 
   to certain areas of the claim. The Directors believe 
   that this amount remains appropriate at 30 June 
   2016. Due to the substantial uncertainties relating 
   to this matter, the actual results that will result 
   from the ultimate resolution of these proceedings 
   may vary from the amount provided. 
 
 
 13.   Events post the reporting date 
 
       The directors propose that an interim dividend 
        of 1.5 cent per share be paid to shareholders 
        on 7 October 2016. This dividend has not been 
        included as a liability in these consolidated 
        interim financial statements. The proposed dividend 
        is payable to all shareholders on the Register 
        of Members on 9 September 2016. The total estimated 
        interim dividend to be paid is $2.0 million (2015: 
        $1.5 million). The payment of this dividend will 
        not have any tax consequences for the Group. 
 
        The directors are not aware of any other events 
        subsequent to 30 June 2016 that would impact on 
        the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. 
 
 
 
 CAPITAL DRILLING LIMITED 
 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM 
  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 For the six months ended 30 June 2016 
 
 
 14.   Going concern 
 
       The Group has set specific objectives and also 
        has policies and processes in place to manage 
        its capital and its financial, credit risk 
        and liquidity risks. 
 
       The Group has borrowings and debt facilities 
        which, together with its clients' receipts, 
        fund its day to day working capital requirements. 
        Volatile economic conditions may create uncertainty 
        particularly over (a) the level of demand for 
        the Group's services; (b) exchange rate fluctuations 
        against the US Dollar and thus the consequence 
        for the cost of the Group's direct costs; and 
        (c) the availability of bank financing in the 
        foreseeable future. 
 
       The Group's forecasts and projections, taking 
        into account potential changes in its performance, 
        show that the Group should be able to operate 
        within the level of its capital structure. 
        The Group continuously discusses its future 
        borrowing and / or refinancing needs with its 
        bankers and no matters have been drawn to its 
        attention to suggest that these needs may not 
        be met on acceptable terms. 
 
       The directors confirm that the Group has adequate 
        resources to continue in operational existence 
        for the foreseeable future. The Group continues 
        to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 
        in preparing the interim financial statements. 
 
 15.   Financial instruments 
 
       Financial instruments that are measured in 
        the condensed consolidated statement of financial 
        position at fair value require disclosure of 
        fair value measurements by level based on the 
        following fair value measurement hierarchy: 
 
       --                   Level                                 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active 
                             1:                                   markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
       --                   Level                                 inputs other than quoted prices included 
                             2:                                    within level 1 that are observable for 
                                                                   the asset or liability, either directly 
                                                                   (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that 
                                                                   is, derived from prices); and 
       --                   Level                                 inputs for the asset or liability that 
                             3:                                    are not based on observable market data 
                                                                   (that is, unobservable inputs). 
 
       The Group's available-for-sale financial assets, 
        with a fair value of $1.2 million (31 December 
        2015: $0.2 million) are listed equity securities 
        in the mining industry that measured at fair 
        value at the end of each reporting period. 
        The available-for-sale investments are designated 
        as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Their 
        fair value is determined using quote bid prices 
        in an active market. The Group's held-for-trading 
        financial assets, with a fair value of $0.7 
        million (31 December 2015: $0) are options 
        and warrants to acquire shares in listed equity 
        securities that are not traded in an active 
        market. The held-for-trading financial assets 
        are designated as level 3 in the fair value 
        hierarchy. Their fair value is determined using 
        a binominal tree model valuation technique 
        based on observable market data that includes 
        the value of the underlying security, the exercise 
        price, volatility and risk free rate of return. 
 
       The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, 
        other than the available-for-sale and held-for-trading 
        financial assets carried at fair value, that 
        are not traded in an active market are determined 
        using standard valuation techniques. These 
        valuation techniques maximise the use of observable 
        market data where available and rely as little 
        as possible on Group specific estimates. The 
        directors consider that the carrying value 
        amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities 
        recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated 
        financial statements are approximately equal 
        to their fair values. The fair values disclosed 
        for the financial assets and financial liabilities 
        are classified in level 3 of the fair value 
        hierarchy and have been assessed to approximate 
        their carrying amounts based on a discounted 
        cash flow assessment.
