Landdrill International Inc. - 2012 Drilling Contract Commitments

MONCTON, NB, Feb. 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Landdrill International Inc. (TSXV: LDI) ("Landdrill" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured record drilling commitments from mining companies in Canada and internationally for 2012.

Landdrill has entered into contracts with Canadian base metal & precious metal mining companies for drilling totalling over 300,000 meters in Quebec, Ontario and Labrador, requiring the usage of 18 of the Company's Canadian-based drills, which represents an additional 100,000 meters booked than as at February 20, 2011.

The Company's Mexican operations also appear poised for record growth in 2012.  Mexican contractual commitments to date for 2012 exceed 200,000 meters requiring 18 of the Company's Mexican-based drills, provided such contracts are performed as expected.

The growth in contract meters in Canada and Mexico is attributable to the Company's investment in additional drills, including through the acquisition of the assets and operations of HD Drilling, s. de r.l. de c.v. and Inflight S. de r.l. de c.v. of Mexico, during 2011.

Furthermore, the Company announces that demand in its Mongolian branches for 2012 remains high and it anticipates further commitments to be secured in the near future. We anticipate that these commitments will represent an increase in revenues from our Mongolian branch over 2011.

Ron Goguen, Sr., the President and CEO of Landdrill said, "I am very pleased to announce the procurement of these commitments for 2012 to date.  The contracts demonstrate the continued growth strategy of the Company. The acquisition of drills during 2011 has permitted the Company to increase its market share."

For a review of the Company's results, copies of Landdrill's financial statements along with the management discussion and analysis (MD&A) can be found on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
