The Wiluna Gold Plant refurbishment will be undertaken by Interquip/Mintrex ("Interquip"), as the Structural, Mechanical and Piping (SMP) Contractor and Practon Engineering ("Practon") as the Electrical & Instrumentation ("E & I") Contractor.
All critical path long lead items for refurbishment have been ordered and engineering work has commenced.
Interquip has recently completed the refurbishment of the Thunderbox Gold Plant ahead of schedule and under budget. The same core team of management and staff have begun mobilising to the Matilda Gold Project. Interquip will work under the close supervision of the Blackham development and operations team.
The management of Practon have had a long association with the Wiluna Gold Plant and have been working on the E&I over the last 4 months with a view to ensuring the SMP contract runs efficiently and timely.
The Company is also committing to the refurbishment of the Matilda camp via a village refurbishment and village management contract with Catercare. Catercare are an industry leading catering, accommodation and facility management service provider to a range of clients across Australia.
The commitment to these key contracts at the Matilda Gold Project is another important step towards production in the September 2016 quarter.
