Indonesia: Weba Bay mining complex

> Description du projet

The project consists in the construction of a nickel (and cobalt) ore mining complex. The site of the mine is situated on the Halmahera island in Indonesia (Weda Bay area). The work concerns the mine earthworks, plants for the ore treatment and infrastucture facilities.

The project cost is higher than 2 billion US$. It will allow Eramet to launch the mine operating phase in 2013. The nickel production target is 60,000 t. This will require the extraction and treatment of about 10 million m³ per year.

The Egis scope of work concerns the whole infrastructure facilities: access roads, road and other networks, 1 port with its own facilities (storage area, loading and unloading area and equipment, handling, etc...), platforms and foundations (factories, storage units, tailings, basins, etc.), earthworks (on mountainous terrain), administrative and accomodation buildings, water intake (river, sea) and rejections, etc.

The 1st phase (2007-2008) is PFS (prefeasibility study): CAPEX estimated +/- 20 %. After decision by Eramet, the BFS (bankable feasibility study: 2008-2009) and the construction phase (procurement & construction management: 2010-2013) will follow.
