Projects

The Cobre Panama Project involves the mining of three open pits which will be processed by crushing, grinding, flotation recovery and concentrate dewatering at a rate of 85 Mtpa.

Structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation (SMPE&I) works associated with the construction of the Gudai-Darri iron ore project.

Structural, mechanical, piping (SMP) works associated with the Shaft 2 Surface Facilities on the Oyu Tolgoi project includes: - Installation of the new shaft 1 mine air heater and fan facility - Shaft 2 chiller facility, east collar house, west collar house, south collar house SMP works - Shaft 2 mine air heater fan facility - Shaft 2 conveyor - Shaft 5 exhaust fan construction - Surface fuel facility construction - Surface shotcrete facility construction - Shaft 2 dewatering facilities - Heat distribution system

The scope of work undertaken by Lycopodium for the Project can be summarised as follows: - Bulk and detailed earthworks, roads and drainage design for the process plant, specific areas of the mine services area and secondary crushing. - Process design and drafting of flowsheets and P&IDs for a 55 Mtpa throughput copper concentrator plant - Mechanical, Civil, Structural and Piping engineering design and drafting for the Milling, Flotation, Concentrate handling, Reagents, Tails Thickening and Raw water pipeline - Evaluation and recommendation of all mechanical equipment associated with the wet plant - Generation of detailed MTOs for piping procurement. - Procurement support for structural steel, plate work and piping supply contracts, including issuing of drawings and tracking drawings revisions - Generation of spares schedule Engineering reached practical completion mid-2013 and construction was completed mid-2014.

The scope of work included metallurgical testing, pre-feasibility study, design and construction of plant and infrastructure.

An EPC contract for the design, engineering, construction of Newmont's Stages 4 and 5 of the Akyem Project. Stage 4 involved performing option studies and other studies to determine Akyem's economic viability and optimising a single option to develop the project to Stage 5. Stage 5 of Akyem was the full development of the project including detailed engineering, construction, commissioning, start-up and preliminary operations. Primary crusher commissioning was completed in July 2013. First gold pour was achieved on 4 October 2013 with Newmont announcing the safe and successful commercial production delivered on budget and on schedule.

Lycopodium was initially engaged to undertake the feasibility study. Lycopodium was subsequently awarded he EPCM contract for the Buzwagi Gold Project processing plant and infrastructure. The process plant will initially treat gold bearing oxide ore through a standard CIL process with gravity concentration, then primary sulphide gold and copper bearing ore with the addition of a flotation / filtration circuit producing both gold doré and a copper / gold concentrate. Key features are: • Crushing, grinding and ICMC complaint CIL processing plant with a capacity of 4.5Mtpa; • Parallel copper flotation, thickening and filtration circuit; • Workshops, stores, laboratory and plant administration and emergency response center; • Mine service area including heavy vehicle workshop and core shed; • The water harvesting system and associated below ground water storage pond with cover to enable operation through the dry seasons; • Fuel storage; • Tailings storage facility; • 105km long, 220kV power line; and • Accommodation village for 300 workers.

Lycopodium provided Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services for the delivery of the 3.2 Mtpa copper concentrate treatment plant and associated non-process infrastructure for Sandfire's Motheo Copper Mine.
