Pöyry appointed to deliver EPCM services for concentrating plant expansion project at Kittilä gold mine
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PÖYRY PLC Press release 17 May 2013 at 11:30 am
Agnico-Eagle Finland Oy has awarded Pöyry a services contract, for the expansion
project for the concentrating plant and leaching process at Kittilä gold mine.
The contract is for the provision of a total EPCM service and Pöyry will be
responsible for project management, engineering and procurement and construction
management. The project is an expansion to the existing operational mine. Pöyry
also provided engineering and construction management services for the initial
development of the existing concentrating plant. Locally, the project will
employ around 100 people at the construction stage and 30 people in the
concentrating process.
The Agnico-Eagle Kittilä mine is one of the largest known gold deposits in
Europe, with a gold reserve of nearly 5 million ounces. Currently, the mine
employs 400 people and 180 contractors. The Kittilä mine area contains several
open pit deposits and deep-lying ore is excavated from an underground mine. The
mine processes 3,000 tons of ore per day, and is expected to produce
approximately 150,000 ounces of gold per year. The gold is separated from the
ore by pressure leaching. The expansion will increase the production by 25 per
cent.
Pöyry has extensive global experience of executing demanding projects. For the
mining industry, we deliver consulting, engineering and project services, as
well as ongoing operational services for the mine itself. Services include mine
feasibility, environmental impact, geology and beneficiation of ore.
The value of the order is not disclosed. The order was recognised within the
Industry business group's order stock in Q1/2013.
