Xtierra has retained Dowding, Reynard and Associates to prepare a feasibility study on its Bilbao project. DRA will now be involved in oversight of all of the component parts of the feasibility study which was originally initiated by Xtierra last year as a two-phase, in-house managed study. Xtierra has also retained Golder Associates for tailings disposal design work related to the Bilbao development
Xtierra’s CEO & President, Terence McKillen says:
“Bringing in DRA at this stage to manage and complete the feasibility study prior to the completion of the second phase of the in-house managed study should lead to a significant saving in time when Xtierra starts to seek project financing. Commissioning of the pilot plant test work on the near surface oxide ores at Bilbao will be a very important part of the ongoing feasibility study which is nearing completion and we are pleased to have the expertise and guidance of DRA in finalizing the process protocols and in the construction and supervision of the plant. Metal recoveries from the oxide ores on a continuous process base will be used in the final economic studies which form a key component part of the feasibility study.”
