Berkeley Energia (BKY) appoints leading global engineering group, Amec Foster Wheeler, to undertake the execution phase of the Salamanca mine
Berkeley Energia (BKY) is pleased to announce it has appointed MDM Technical Africa (Pty) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Amec Foster Wheeler Group (LSE: AMFW) to undertake the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for the Salamanca mine.
Managing Director, Paul Atherley, commented:
“Amec Foster Wheeler will play a crucial role in the successful development of the low cost Salamanca mine, which is the only uranium mine in the world currently in construction.”
The FEED is the execution phase of the project during which the overall engineering and process design is translated into equipment procurement packages and awards to specialist subcontractors.
The development phase is already well underway and initial construction has commenced with re-routing of the existing electrical power line to service the project and a four kilometre realignment of an existing road to allow for the commencement of mining of the Retortillo pit.
The FTSE 250 listed Amec Foster Wheeler is a leading global engineering group with extensive experience in delivering uranium mining and processing solutions.
Amec Foster Wheeler’s FEED will be based on Berkeley’s completed Definitive Feasibility Study with input from a number of Spain’s most reputable engineering groups including Madrid IBX-35 listed companies Iberdrola (BME: IBE) and OHL (BME: OHL).
