Platina Signs Ongoing Engineering Services Agreement with GRD Minproc
Platina Resources Limited (ASX: PGM) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with GRD Minproc Limited for study, engineering and project management services.
The initial focus will be on the Skaergaard Resource Development in Greenland. GRD Minproc will commence work immediately updating the scoping study and preparing a detailed project development program in conjunction with Platina personnel.
Platina Executive Chairman Robert W Mosig said the agreement marked another milestone in the development of Skaergaard as a world class gold and platinum group metals deposit.
Mr Mosig said GRD Minproc, which would manage the work through its Brisbane office, was an internationally recognized engineer with extensive design and project delivery experience.
“This agreement is in line with our previously stated aim of advancing our focus at Skaergaard to metallurgical testing and further pre‐feasibility work. GRD Minproc has Greenland experience and also has the capabilities to maintain an involvement through all phases in the development of the project,” Mr Mosig said.
The Skaergaard deposit is located in East Greenland and has an Inferred Resource of 29.6Moz palladium, 10.26Moz gold and 1.95Moz platinum which is both JORC and Canadian NI 43‐101 compliant.
