MA’ADEN’S PROJECT SITE MAP

Hanwha Engineering and Construction (Hanwha E&C) announced that it has signed a $270 million ore plant deal with Riyadh-based Ma’aden Saudi Arabian Mining Company. Hanwha E&C is set to build a plant that will process gold ore into gold bars near Al Humiyah, 450km southwest of Saudi Arabia’s capital city, Riyadh.

Upon completion of the project, a plant with an area of 17 km2will be established and a 110 km long main access road will be put in place. The plant will have an annual gold ore processing capacity of 2 million tons and will be able to accommodate over 200 people through residences and research facilities. The project is scheduled for completion within 24 months.

This deal is on an EPCC-LSTK basis (Engineering, Purchase, Construction, and Commissioning – Lump Sum Turnkey) and the deal had been made possible by Hanwha E&C’s proven track record as well as its unmatched engineering, purchase and construction capabilities.

Ma’aden is a state-run mining company of Saudi Arabia and produces ore products including gold, silver, diamond and aluminum. In 2007, Ma’aden granted Hanwha a $280 million deal to build a power and desalination plant, and the project had been carried out successfully.

“Now, Hanwha’s technical skills from the 2007 project have been reaffirmed by Ma’aden. And the deal made this year will provide Hanwha E&C with the opportunity to expand its scope into metal and smelting plants.” said the Hanwha E&C official.

Prior to this deal, Hanwha E&C won an $8 billion contract last year to construct a new city in Bismayah, Iraq, which is larger than any construction project ever performed by a Korean contractor outside South Korea. Hanwha has attracted a great deal of global attention with this unprecedented urban development project as it helped South Korea pass the $500 billion mark of accumulated overseas construction orders.
