Syrah awards contract for Vidalia expansion
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Graphite miner Syrah Resources has awarded contractor Worley Group a construction management services contract for the Vidalia initial expansion project, in the US.
Syrah earlier this month took a final investment decision on the $176-million expansion of its Vidalia active anode material (AAM) facility, in Louisiana, which would see production increase to 11 250 t/y.
Syrah said on Wednesday that to preserve the project schedule and ensure the company was prepared to transition to early site preparation work of the expansion, Worley and Syrah have been jointly advancing initial pre-construction activities since August last year.
“We are pleased to execute this services agreement and to continue our successful technical partnership with Worley in the construction of an 11 250 t/y AAM facility at Vidalia,” said Syrah MD and CEO Shaun Verner.
“The finalisation of this contract, and the substantial engineering work completed with Worley, has significantly derisked the project and Worley’s construction management support will be critical to the successful delivery of the Vidalia initial expansion project.”
