the construction cost of the project. G Mining
led the Feasibility Study for the project. Lower
it, they did—the project was approved with
a budget of US $915 M and was completed
almost 20 per cent below budget, on time and
with an excellent safety record.
The plan for the next few years is to continue
to work with clients to build new mines. “We
would like to be involved with the construc-
tion of a new mine at any given time which
generates some timing challenges,” says
Gignac. “It requires that we be working on
various Feasibility Studies that have good
chances of obtaining approvals, permits and
financing. We are also interested in mandates
that involve operating roles with the preferred
situation being the operator role of a project
we construct.”
