Due to the successful delivery of the first stage that included significant cost savings to the client, Exact Civil was awarded stage two of the Tailings Storage Facility Lift Project along with additional associated infrastructure at the Pajingo Gold Mine.
Given the experience of our team on the Project in stage one, and key large equipment already on site, we were able to further reduce the cost of the second stage by 30% through reduced rates for moving the remaining bulk material from the TSF1 borrow pit to the new TSF2 and delivered the works one week ahead of wet weather adjusted date.
The new TSF2 will deliver ~four years of storage capacity for the Pajingo Mine, supporting the increased production and upscale to full-time milling operations.
“NQM Gold 2 Pty Ltd is pleased to recommend Exact Civil Construction Pty Ltd for the excellent work that they did in construction the last two Tailings Facilities at our Pajingo Mine site” – NQM Gold 2 Pty Ltd, Tailings Storage Facility 1 and 2, Pajingo Gold Mine Letter of Recognition, signed Jack Xing Commercial Manager, Russel Purvis Senior Project Manager and Gary Goh General Manager – Operations
