Projects

The T3 Cleaner Circuit Project scope of work includes the procurement and supply of equipment and materials to site, installation, construction, provision of labour, supervision, testing and commissioning for various areas. This includes the installation of cleaner cells and associated hoppers, pumps, pipework in the existing T3 Flotation Building. In addition, the installation of a Regrind mill (Vertimill) including automated ball charging system, cyclones, gravity concentrator and associated hoppers, Concentrate Thickening and Tails Thickener Overflow (Process Water) occurred.

Lycopodium was awarded the EPCM services associated with the delivery of the process plant comprising three-stage crushing including HPGR, ball milling, thickening, CIL and infrastructure including access road, airstrip, temporary and permanent accommodation, remote borefield. Lycopodium also delivered the pre-feasibility and feasibility study phases.

Development of the project commenced in May 2019, bringing together the same development teams (Perseus and Lycopodium) that successfully delivered Perseus’ Sissingué Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire ahead of time and on budget. Having delivered the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for Yaouré, Lycopodium undertook the process design, detailed engineering and drafting for the process plant, water services including river abstraction and TSF pumping and decant return, steel-framed process plant buildings and 11 kV power reticulation. The scope also included supply of equipment and materials.

Lycopodium was engaged to deliver 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.

Lycopodium delivered detailed design, procurement, construction management and commissioning services for this greenfield gold carbon-in-leach plant and associated infrastructure. It was the first complete EPCM project undertaken by Lycopodium in Burkina Faso and provided valuable local knowledge for future endeavours in that country.
