project of note was on behalf of the Vasgold Gold Mine in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan, one of the largest mines of its kind found anywhere in the world. Proccea Construction’s role here was as a subcontractor to Summit Valley Engineering and Equipment during its construction of an Absorption, Desorption and Recovery (ADR) plant, and involved the manufacture and shipment of structural steel, the supervision of piping, steel and equipment installation and start-up and
commissioning. Despite the difficulties encountered during such a complex project, the company’s experienced team was able to assist in completing it ahead of schedule. In addition to taking on the role of subcontractor, Proccea Construction has also acted in a supervisory role on projects including the construction, commissioning and start-ups of ADR plants at the Kitila Gold Mine in Finland and the Zarcan-Takab Gold Mine in Iran.
“Proccea Construction’s site teams have worked together throughout the world, delivering numerous, complex, large-scale projects for the company’s clients”
However, it is arguably in its role as prime contractor that the company has made the biggest name for itself in the mining and minerals sector, holding this role on a number of highly successful occasions. These have included the construction of an ADR plant at the ÇÖPLER and Koza Gold-Mastra Gold Mines in Turkey, the Ouagadogou Gold Mine in Burkina Faso and the Maaden Gold Mine in Saudi Arabia, as well as during the design
and manufacturing of a de-aeration tower at Minera Triton in Argentina. As well as taking on increasing important and challenging roles across the world, the company has also taken significant strides in the last decade to increase its presence in its home country, while also expanding into other potential fields of industry. It was this approach that saw it enter into a joint venture agreement back in July 2010 with Ariana

Resources, a London-based exploration and development company focused on epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-copper-gold deposits, for its Red Rabbit Gold Project. Red Rabbit is the name given to the combination of Ariana’s two flagship assets, Kiziltepe and Tavsan, located around 75 kilometres apart in the highly prospective WAVE province in western Turkey. Upon the signing of the joint venture agreement Proccea’s executives released a collective statement praising the creation of such an exciting partnership. “We have spent several productive months working together with Ariana in developing this opportunity and enhancing our own understanding of the project. As a result we have a great deal of confidence in the joint venture company
going on to become one of the leading mining companies in the region.” Nearly three years on, in March 2013, it was announced that Proccea Construction had committed itself to sole funding of the Red Rabbit Gold Project as it moves closer towards production in 2014. As part of the agreement Proccea will contribute a further $6.6 million of funding to earn-in to 50 percent of the Red Rabbit Joint Venture prior to production starting in 2014. The JV is targeting construction start-up during the fourth quarter of 2013. For more information about Proccea Construction visit: www.proccea.com
