SNC-Lavalin awarded contract to provide design and engineering services for iron ore mining project in Brazil

MONTREAL: August 25, 2022 – SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC), a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world, has been awarded a CAD $14.8 million, 2-year contract to provide design and engineering services for the Pedra de Ferro Project in northeast Brazil for BAMIN. 

“Our integrated pit-to-port approach is present at every level in the mining industry, including greenfield, brownfield, new investments, due diligence and assessment studies,” said Cesar Inostroza, SNC-Lavalin Mining & Metallurgy CEO. “Whether it’s complementing existing operations or getting new ones up and running, we deliver safely on time and on budget.”

The Pedra de Ferro Project involves an iron ore mining operation in the state of Bahia that extracts and processes two types of ore, hematite and itabirite, and transports it for commercialization via rail and sea. Iron, essential to the production of steel, is processed from the ore. To help increase capacity and expand production, the Company will design and engineer an open pit mine, a hematite processing plant, an itabirite processing plant, a product storage yard, a cargo loading station and a railway loop that will provide access to the West-East Integration Railroad (FIOL).

“This project is extremely important to the Brazilian economy, helping generate thousands of jobs and positioning Bahia to become the third largest iron ore producing state in Brazil,” said Maria de Lourdes Bahia, SNC-Lavalin Mining & Metallurgy Vice-president, Brazil. “Our commitment to innovation, technology and sustainability enables us to deliver the best solutions with lasting benefits to our clients and the communities in which we work and live.”
