Gold project contract win
Amec
Foster Wheeler has been awarded an Engineering Procurement and
Construction (EPC) contract by Gruyere Management Pty Ltd (GRM)
(agent and manager for the joint venture between Gold Road
Resources Limited and Gruyere Mining Company Pty Ltd, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Gold Fields Limited) for the Gruyere Gold
Project.
The
value of the EPC contract is AUD$298 million.
The
Gruyere Gold Project, located approximately 200 kilometres east of
Laverton, in Western Australia, is one of the largest undeveloped
gold deposits in Australia. The mine is expected to be a
large-scale open pit operation feeding a 7.5 million to 8.8 million
tonnes per annum processing plant.
The
contract for GRM will be jointly executed by Amec Foster Wheeler
and Civmec Construction and Engineering as the Amec Foster Wheeler
Civmec JV (ACJV) and follows their successful joint delivery of the
'Early Contractor Involvement' phase. The scope of work includes
the engineering, procurement and construction of the process plant
and associated infrastructure.
Amec
Foster Wheeler delivers services across the entire life cycle of
mining projects, for a wide range of commodities including gold,
copper, diamonds, iron ore, uranium, nickel and
lithium.
Over
the past three decades, Amec Foster Wheeler has developed a
peerless level of expertise in gold extraction technology, having
successfully delivered over 125 gold projects globally for key
customers in the industry. This includes the current EPCM contract
for the Çöpler Sulfide Expansion Project in Turkey for
Anagold Madencilik, which was awarded in July 2016 and is scheduled
for completion in 2018.
Dave
Lawson, Amec Foster Wheeler's President of Mining,
said:
"Amec
Foster Wheeler has worked on some of the largest and most
technically complex gold projects in the world. Winning this
contract is testament to how we are delivering on our strategy to
expand our EPC business, and our ability to work across all phases
of a project to deliver solutions for customers. We look forward to
drawing on our extensive international gold expertise to deliver a
world class facility for Gruyere, one of the largest undeveloped
gold deposits in Australia."
Engineering
work has already commenced. Onsite work will commence in August
2017.
