Continental Gold Inc. has awarded the construction management contract, and engineering and procurement contract for its Buriticá project located in Antioquia, Colombia.
The construction management contract has been awarded to Merit Consultants International Inc., and the engineering and procurement contract has been awarded to M3 Engineering & Technology Corp.
“We are very pleased to partner with two world-class organizations such as Merit and M3, both of whom have recent and relevant direct Colombia experience. The Merit team, which includes key personnel recently involved in the successful completion of another Colombia mine, is already being integrated into the Continental Gold construction team. Similarly, M3 has been involved with the Buriticá project since 2012 and is the natural choice given their familiarity with our project, their overall strength in designing plants and related infrastructure of similar scale throughout Latin America and, most importantly, the success enjoyed between the firm and our Chief Operating Officer, Don Gray, in the construction of the Escobal Mine in Guatemala,” said Ari Sussman, chief executive officer of Continental Gold.
The Buriticá project site continues to be prepared for mine construction with the first phase of the six-kilometre road nearing completion and engineering advancing on schedule. Mine construction, as outlined in the project’s feasibility study and is expected to commence as planned towards the end of 2017.
