Ausenco has been engaged as the Engineering and Procurement Consultant on the Silangan project for Silangan Mindanao Mining Co., Inc.
The project is located in the Surigao del Norte province of the Philippines, approximately 750 kilometres southeast of Manila and will mine copper and gold found within the Boyongan and Bayugo deposits.
Ausenco completed value-engineering studies on Silangan, which progressed into a full Definitive Feasibility Study that was finalised in 2017. In October 2022, Ausenco completed the FEED phase for the current iteration of the project that provided a capital efficient design for the process plant.
The company will act as the Engineering Consultant for the project, completing engineering, procurement and leading the commissioning of the process plant. Silangan Mindanao Mining will execute the Construction Management phase with support from Ausenco. The execution approach will use local engineering and construction capabilities, creating job opportunities and benefitting the local economy.
