Australia-based mineral exploration company Gold Road Resources has awarded a $298m contract for its Gruyere Gold project to Amec Foster Wheeler Civmec Joint Venture (ACJV).

Under the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract, ACJV will work on the design, procurement and installation of the process plant and associated infrastructure.

Gold Road managing director and CEO Ian Murray said: “This is another key milestone in the delivery of Gruyere into production and we look forward to work on the plant and associated infrastructure commencing in earnest on site.

"Importantly, this contract will focus on maximising the local content in the construction of Gruyere and generating significant employment opportunities in the Goldfields region and Western Australia more broadly."
