PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Project house GR Engineering Services has been awarded a A$12-million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to design and construct the non-process infrastructure at the Nova nickel project, in Western Australia.
The Nova nickel mine, owned by ASX-listed Sirius Resources is expected to deliver about 26 000 t/y of nickel, 11 500 t/y of copper and 850 t/y of cobalt over a ten-year mine life with concentrate production expected to start in late 2016.
GR Engineering reported on Thursday that the EPC contract would be completed concurrently with the project’s processing facilities, which were already under way.
