Stantec has been selected by St. Augustine Gold & Copper to provide study and engineering services for the Kingking copper-gold project on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines.
Kingking is one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits, with 960 million tonnes of reserves. Stantec will deliver integrated, pit-to-port, sustainable solutions for the estimated US$2.37 billion project.
“The St. Augustine Gold and Copper Ltd. team selected Stantec for the Definitive Feasibility Study based on their multidimensional project capability and experience, which the Kingking project requires,” said Andy Russel, Kingking project director. “We look forward to Stantec being an integral part of delivering the Kingking project on schedule and on budget.”
Working alongside Independent Mining Consultants, Stantec will lead the delivery of the definitive feasibility study (DFS), which includes: comprehensive data review and risk assessment, strategic work planning and stakeholder engagement, trade-off studies and definition of design parameters, definitive-level engineering, capital and operating cost estimation, financial modelling, and NI 43-101 reporting.
Stantec will also develop the project execution plan; the engineering, procurement, and construction management bid package; and the procurement strategy for long-lead items and equipment.
