Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Project Description:

To meeting growing global demand and add value to our Wollastonite ore, Canadian Wollastonite and a newly formed subsidiary, called “Newco” for the purposes of this document, will develop a processing plant for the wollastonite ore. Newco will design and build a plant to beneficiate 100,000 tpy of Wollastonite ore by a proven flotation process. This will generate 30,000 tpy of wollastonite product with additional high-value byproducts:

  • 10,000 tpy of Magnetics
  • 35,000 tpy of Diopside concentrates
  • 22,000 tpy of Feldspar concentrates
  • 3,000 tpy of Sulphide-Graphite concentrates

Deliverables:

The final deliverable is a Phase 1 Plan that includes a Project Management Plan, Procurement Plan, Execution Plan, Schedule, Cost Estimate that takes into account the following elements:

a) A plan for ensuring all of the required permits are in place prior to the commencement of construction

b) A Plan for site civil works including any topsoil removal, grading, cut & fill, contouring, runoff ditching, earthworks, roads, yards, gravel pads, concrete foundations, etc.

c) A Plan for temporary construction offices, lighting, power, hygiene facilities, scrap & garbage bins as required to carry out construction activities

d) A Plan for the installation and commissioning of the modular office, safety, control room & hygiene facility for temporary use during later phases of construction and later for plant operations

e) Design provisions and considerations must enable a future doubling of capacity as value-added markets develope
