Jabal Sayid Copper Project - Saudi Arabia
Jabal Sayid Copper Project - Saudi Arabia
The Jabal Sayid Copper Project is located 150km south-east of Medina, 330 km north-east of Jeddah and about 350km by road from the Red Sea port of Yanbu Al Bahr in Saudi Arabia.
The Project intends to mine 3.4Mtpa of ore and process this to liberate 60,000 tpa of copper concentrate that will be transported by road to Yanbu for sale to international customers. Ore will be mined using underground techniques, then trucked and fed into a primary crushing circuit. Crushed ore will be passed through grinding and flotation circuits before thickening, filtering for concentrate and tailings disposal.
SNC-Lavalin conducted the feasibility study which was followed by the award of the project delivery via an EPCM contract. The project will produce 60,000 tpa of copper concentrate liberated from 3.4 Mtpa of ore.
