Guelb II - Mauritania
Located in the region of Zouerate in north east Mauritania, the Guelb II project increases concentrate production by 4 Mtpa in parallel with the existing Guelb EL Rhein plant which runs 24/y on 300 days each year.
The project consisted of crude ore handling, ore crushing, blending & stockpiling, roller press crushing, dry magnetic separation, ball mill grinding, wet magnetic separation, filtration of concentrate & tailings, tailings stacking, dust extraction, concentrate handling & stockpiling, rail load out, and utilities & infrastructure.
SNC-Lavalin first validated the feasibility study done by others and then established the execution strategy for the delivery of the project. This phase was then followed with the full delivery of the project on an EPCM contract basis.
