CIMIC Group’s Sedgman Awarded Contract for Jervois Copper Project in Australia
CIMIC Group company Sedgman has been awarded a design, procurement and construction contract by KGL Resources Limited (ASX:KGL) for the processing plant at the Jervois Copper Project in Australia's Northern Territory.
One of the Northern Territory's most advanced copper projects, Jervois is set to play an important role in supplying copper, a critical metal supporting electrification and the global energy transition.
Sedgman will undertake the delivery of the processing plant, together with commissioning and testing of the facility and associated infrastructure and services. Procurement of long-lead process equipment and detailed engineering is already underway.
The Jervois processing plant is designed to treat two million tonnes of ore per annum using conventional crushing, grinding, flotation and thickening circuits to produce a single copper concentrate.
Sedgman's appointment builds on its involvement with the project since 2017, having worked with KGL on historical testwork review, metallurgical testwork, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, value engineering, front-end engineering design and procurement activities, providing continuity as the project progresses into delivery.
