Projects Contacts

Serra Sul Iron Ore

The Project consisted of conceptual and basic engineering for a new 90 Mtpa beneficiation plant 75 km south of the Carajás Mine. The project includes a mine, plant, stockyard, loadout station and 100 km of railway to connect to the existing system.Services: Feasibility Study

Country : Brazil

Guelb el Aouj Iron Ore Project

We are currently conducting a Feasibility Study for a major iron ore project in the Sahara Desert. The study includes the concentrator, pellet plant, open pit and associated infrastructure for a plant that is to produce seven million tonnes of pellets per year.Services: Feasibility Study

Country : Mauritania

Itabiritos Iron Ore Project

This Project consists of a new 10 Mtpa beneficiation plant and a 7 Mtpa pelletizing plant.Services: Engineering

Country : Brazil

Simandou Iron Ore Project

The Project is located in a remote region of Guinea, West Africa. The absence of established infrastructure makes this project particularly challenging. In addition to the mine, processing facilities, and on-site infrastructure, the project includes a heavy-haul railway spanning over 800 km and a major port and ship loading facilities at Conakry on the coast.Services: Pre-Feasibility Study
