CABINDA FERTILIZER PLANT CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Minbos Resources Limited (ASX:MNB) (“Minbos” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on development activities at its Cabinda Phosphate Project.
To complete the construction of the fertilizer factory, the Company has engaged a number of design, engineering and project management companies to complete civil, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation design, project management and construction activities.
ASL Group (Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Piping)
The Company has signed a contract with António Santos Lessa & Associados, Lda ( ASL ) to provide a complete design package for civil, structural, mechanical, and piping. ASL will undertake a Building Information Model which will integrate all disciplines into one single model. ASL is a Portuguese engineering company with experience in Angola.
True Automation (Electrical, Instrumentation and Process Control)
True Automation specialises in providing advanced process control solutions and industrial automation systems to the mining industry and was contracted to undertake a high-level review which resulted in a number of opportunities to reduce costs and time on the low voltage electrical, instrumentation, and process control design. True Automation is a Perth based company with experience delivering a similar project in Lusophone Mozambique.
A second contract with True Automation is being finalised to deliver a full optimized design package for the low voltage electrical, instrumentation and process control for the Cabinda Phosphate Plant, in line with the International Fertilizer Development Centre process package.
