Australian Gold Reagents (AGR) – a joint venture between WesCEF’s CSBP business and Coogee Chemicals – has reached a major milestone in the Sodium Cyanide Plant Expansion Project, with construction and commissioning for Sodium Cyanide Plant 1 (SCP1) now complete. The milestone represents the end of the project’s most complex construction and commissioning phase, with SCP1 now back in operation following a successful restart. This marks the completion of half the planned expansion. The SCP1 upgrade is the first time such sophisticated modifications have been implemented on one of the site’s solution plants, making it a significant technical step forward for AGR. At its busiest, more than 220 contractors worked onsite alongside around 40 engineers and project personnel, delivering this phase safely within a constrained footprint […]
Last week the Sodium Cyanide (SCN) Plant Expansion project team achieved an early milestone in the construction phase of the project after only recently completing the engineering phase of the project – a huge milestone in itself. “The project is focused on debottlenecking and modernising the existing plant and improving critical infrastructure, all while maintaining safe and continuous operations,” Project Manager Major Projects,” Greg Samuels said, “Moving from engineering and design to construction phase isn’t just an engineering milestone — it’s the turning point where concept becomes construction. Whilst there has been weeks of construction preparation already, a key component in the construction phase took place last week when SCN team members and civil contractors were on site to complete […]
Australian Gold Reagents’ (AGR) Board has made a final investment decision to proceed with the expansion of its sodium cyanide production facility in Kwinana, Western Australia, positioning AGR as one of the world’s largest sodium cyanide producers for the gold mining industry. AGR General Manager Barney Jones said the expansion would enable the business to meet the growing global demand for sodium cyanide for gold mining operations, while delivering on its sustainability goals. “The expansion will increase AGR’s annual sodium cyanide production capacity by over 30 per cent, bringing total sodium cyanide solution capacity to approximately 130,000 tonnes per annum. It also includes an increase in our solids production capacity to facilitate increased exports to our international customers,” Mr Jones […]
