Our previous projects include:
Past Projects
Mungada Ridge Hematite Iron Ore Project
Midwest of WA
The scope of work comprised the design for a 3MTPA crushing plant and associated infrastructure, comprising a 1600 man construction/operations camp, power generation and distribution, water harvesting and distribution, 90km access road, rail siding and port storage facilities and associated conveyors.
Project principal:
Karara Management Services
Completion date:
October 2007
Lichkvaz Polymetallic Project
SE Armenia
The project was the engineering design for an 800,000 tpa polymetallic processing plant designed initially to treat the oxidized copper / gold section of the orebody and to be expanded to treat the primary ore when it becomes available. The feed was to come from an underground mine located in a mountainous region of SE Armenia.

Tamaya Resources Limited
Completion date:
April 2008
Kylylahti Polymetallic Concentrator Project
Finland
The project is located on an extension to the Outokumpu orebody. The work comprised the total front end engineering package for the concentrator and associated facilities, which included a hydraulic backfill plant. Financial circumstances of the client forced the cancellation of this project in September 2008 subsequent to completion of flowsheets, general arrangements and equipment specifications.
Project principal:
Vulcan Resources Limited
Completion date:
Cancelled in September 2008 due to client's financial circumstances.

Mount Carlton - Silver Hill Project
Queensland
This project covers a definitive feasibility study for the development of a gold, silver and copper polymetallic orebody located South of Townsville in Queensland. In order to expedite the project, and minimise risk in cost, design engineering will run in parallel. It is planned to produce a high grade concentrate for sale, and treat a low grade concentrate using a heap biological oxidation process.

Conquest Mining Limited
Completion date:
November 2009
Sino Thickener Project
Australia
Arccon has been awarded a contract for the design and construction of two 90 metre tailings thickeners at the Sino Iron project at Cape Preston by China Metallurgical Group Corporation (MCC). Arccon submitted a non-conforming lump-sum bid for these thickeners which provided the client with significant cost and time savings.

Surdulica Molybdenum Project
Serbia
This world scale deposit is located in the mountainous region of SE Serbia. Anticipated ore delivery rate from the open cut mine was 20MTPA.
Arccon acted as Supervising Engineers for the preparation of the project Scoping Study which incorporated input from the environmental, mining, waste and tailings management, water management, transport, power supply, access, marketing, financial, regulatory and other specialist contributors. These comprised a mixture of in-country, EU and Australian consultants.
Project principal:
Dundee Precious Metals Inc.
Completion date:

Macraes Mine Scheelite Project
New Zealand
The project was a review of the in-house design and prepare a capital cost estimate for a facility to additionally extract the scheelite contained in the 5.7Mtpa ore feed producing 75,000 tpa of concentrate from the Macraes gold mine on the South island of New Zealand. The work included expansion and design of a flowsheet and mass balances showing equipment items.
Project principal:
Oceana Gold Corporation
Completion date:
May 2009
Didipio Copper/Gold Project
Philippines
Arccon were engaged to undertake a study and design of the process plant component of a revised development concept for the Didipio copper/gold project. The plant was to be in the order of 1.3Mtpa from an open pit mine.
