Fluor Corp. has been selected by Hellas Gold Single Member S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eldorado Gold Corp., to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services for its Skouries gold-copper mining project located within the Halkidiki Peninsula of Greece.
Fluor booked its share of the US$845 million project investment value in the 4Q22.
Tony Morgan, president of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business, comments:
“The execution of this project will build on Fluor’s technical expertise in large scale gold and copper projects. Fluor is excited to be a part of this important project that will drive economic development in the region and provide the essential raw materials to support the transition to a more sustainable future.”
Fluor’s scope of work includes infrastructure, non-process facilities, process area, and tailings filtration. The project is expected to produce, on average, 140 000 oz of gold and 67 million lb of copper annually over its initial 20-year mine life.
Fluor’s Vancouver office will serve as the lead office for the project with support from its New Delhi and Calgary offices. Onshore construction management and detailed engineering will be led by Fluor’s office in Greece and executed by a consortium of Greece-based engineering service providers managed on the owner’s behalf.
At construction peak, the project is expected to employ up to 800 local construction workers and create 1400 long-term jobs over the 20-year life of mine. Construction will begin in 2023 with a total project duration for 2.5 – 3 years and the first production expected in 2H25.
