Sirius awarded a contract to the CV LOMAG joint venture to operate the company’s onsite mobile crusher.

At the beginning of March, construction of the tailings dam started and the ROM pad has been completed using material excavated from the boxcut.

Sirius selected GR Engineering based on the fixed price, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender.

The engineering and detailed design of the facilities is expected to commence in the second quarter of this year. Construction is slated to begin in the fourth quarter.
