Veladero - Argentina
The Veladero project in the Andes mountains in north western Argentina consisted of two open pit mines, two stage crushing facilities, valley fill heap leaching, a 3.5 Mtpa Merrill-Crowe process plant and a gold refinery producing gold bullion. Infrastructure included a 160km long access road to the site, accommodation facilities, and general site infrastructure.
SNC-Lavalin was contracted by Barrick Gold to undertake the feasibility study and the project implementation on an EPCM basis.
