Toronto- and Frankfurt-listed Global Atomic has signed Development Consultants Private (DPCL) of Kolkata, India, and Lycopodium Minerals of Canada to start the basic and detailed engineering, procurement and project management of the Dasa mine processing plant in Niger.

These engineering and project delivery firms were selected to form an integrated engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) project team, synthesising proven uranium processing plant design experience with West African project management and construction experience.

DCPL will focus on the basic and detailed engineering required for the design of the Dasa process plant, with the initial phase of basic engineering now under way.

Lycopodium will prepare the project execution plan, provide input for constructability in West Africa and provide project services during this phase with the intention of continuing on to manage plant construction.

EPCM activity will be guided and supervised by the Global Atomic owner’s team, headed by Dr Santiago Faucher, chief technology officer at Global Atomic.

Global Atomic and Faucher’s company, Insight R&D, have now integrated metallurgical, mechanical and electrical engineering experts with DCPL’s team in Kolkata and Lycopodium’s team in Toronto to direct work on the Dasa project.

“Following Global Atomic’s announcements regarding our initial offtake agreement, the formation of a banking syndicate to finance the Dasa project and the incorporation of our Niger operating company, SOMIDA, the commencement of the EPCM phase is our next important milestone to stay on schedule to become one of the world’s newest uranium production companies,” said president and CEO Stephen Roman.

The Dasa project is scheduled to deliver yellowcake to utilities in the first quarter of 2025.
