MONCTON, NB, Nov. 29 /CNW/ -- MONCTON, NB, Nov. 29 /CNW/ - Landdrill International Inc. (TSX.V:LDI) reports a $6,427,000 or 125% increase to revenues for 2010's third quarter, as compared to the prior year's amount.   The Company had revenues of $11,557,000 and net income of $649,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to revenues of $5,130,000 and a net loss of $652,000 for 2009's comparable three month period.  On a year-to-date basis the Company reports revenues of $25,307,000 and net income of $1,204,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to revenues of $12,458,000 and a net loss of $2,345,000 for 2009's comparable nine month period.  The Company also announces that after a review of their Asian operations, with the objective of maximizing net income - that the Company will wind-up operations in Russia. Over the next few months Landdrill will move their five drills, related equipment and inventory to the Mongolian Branch. This will eliminate approximately $600,000 per year in overhead costs, while also adding to the drilling capacities of the Mongolian operation. The Mongolian mining market has seen a significant increase in mineral exploration drilling during 2010 and the prospects for 2011 indicate a continuation of this growth.  Ron Goguen Sr., the President and CEO of Landdrill said, "I am pleased to report our third consecutive quarter of profit, after experiencing the negative effects of the prior years' global slowdown on Landdrill's 2009's financial results. The revenues and profit have been continuously improving during the current year and while net income amounts are still slightly below our expectations, this is still a significant improvement over 2009's comparable period. The Company has benefited from a turnaround in commodity prices and the financial markets, and management has made significant business development initiatives over the last year, which has all combined to substantially increase the demand for Landdrill's services.  We are confident that Landdrill will continue to report improving results into next year - results that will provide a positive return to our shareholders, while maximizing Landdrill's capitalized value."   For a more complete review of the Company's results, copies of Landdrill's financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, along with the management discussion and analysis (MD&A) can be found on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
