Although the focus is on the pre-bankruptcy process and its delicate financial situation, Duro Felguera can celebrate the good performance of the mining plant built for Aya Gold & Silver in Morocco. The project, completed in October, began production at the beginning of January and last week it even exceeded 100% of its planned capacity.
As explained by the Canadian company that operates the facility The nominal grinding capacity has already been exceeded at the Zgounder mine, south of Marrakech. The factory began processing ore on November 4, the first silver pour was achieved on November 27 and commercial production levels were reached on December 29.
“Happy and proud of the success of this great project, in which we have worked, contributing not only our experience and capacity, but also all our commitment and enthusiasm,” said Duro Felguera in a message on the social network Linkedin.
The listed Spanish company won the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the mining plant in 2022. It was an agreement with a fixed price of 78 million dollars – 74 million euros, at the then exchange rate – for the construction of the facility, which had planned a total grinding capacity of 2,700 tons per day, below current levels.
Unlike what happened with other works –Duro involves litigation in several contracts-, the Moroccan plant has been carried out practically without setbacks and Aya highlighted the compliance of the firm.
