As part of the contract, the team will identify the optimal project concept to form the basis of the feasibility study, identify the risks to future development of the project, achieve sufficient detail in engineering, which will help in completion of an environmental and social impact assessment, as well as detail project facilities sufficiently to support the intended level of accuracy required for the pre-feasibility capital and operating cost estimates and the project master schedule.

SNC-Lavalin mining and metallurgy senior vice-president for Latin America Joaquin Cano said: "This project capitalises on our substantial gold experience, our expertise in taking early phase studies through to project execution for our clients, as well as our considerable experience working in remote and environmentally sensitive areas."

Suárez said: "We are excited to be part of Colombia’s increasing focus on mining and resource extraction, and we look forward to working with Minesa, as this new project represents a continuation of our long-standing relationship in a new region."
