Based on an old gold mine located at the site, Mazoon Mining has expanded the resource and is currently targeting five open pit mines to provide ore to a new onsite 1.65 Mtpa throughput capacity processing plant that will produce copper concentrate in addition to recovering gold. There will also be an onsite mining camp at the location.
Having prepared the Definitive Feasibility Study for the project in 2020, Lycopodium was subsequently awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services contract for the process plant and related infrastructure and services, in addition to the management of non-process plant related contractors. Works commenced in Q1 2024 and are anticipated to conclude in Q2 2026.
