Syrymbet project

DRA Global has been awarded the process and engineering design contract as part of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) for JSC Tin One Mining’s Syrymbet project, in northern Kazakhstan.

DRA’s scope of work includes the design of a concentrator plant, as well as that of the immediate process-related infrastructure and facilities.

It will also provide all the necessary services to develop the project capital cost.  

The DFS is under way and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

“DRA has an impressive studies record, with several thousand studies completed across all commodities. The Tin One leadership team is confident DRA will deliver a comprehensive technical and economic report, that will allow Syrymbet to progress closer to achieving full production,” commented Tin One president Lawrence Rossouw in a statement issued on Tuesday.

“The DRA AMER team is excited to be partnering with Tin One on the Syrymbet project,” commented DRA Global executive VP Pierre Julien.

“DRA has a unique insight into developing tin projects, as the engineering, procurement and construction management provider on JSE-listed Alphamin’s Bisie tin project, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the team can draw on invaluable experience to provide a detailed DFS on time and within budget.”
