Lycopodium Limited has been awarded the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract for the development of Greatland Resources Limited’s Havieron Project in Western Australia.
The contract is valued at A$49.4 million ($35.2 million), with Lycopodium appointed as the project delivery partner for the pre-production phase. Its scope includes project management, engineering and procurement services, coordination and management of trade contractors and suppliers, project controls, and construction and commissioning management as required to support the project’s delivery.
Havieron is a high-grade underground gold-copper deposit located in the Paterson Province of Western Australia’s East Pilbara region, approximately 45 km east of Greatland’s Telfer gold-copper mine. Greatland plans to use Telfer’s existing processing facilities and associated infrastructure to process ore produced from Havieron.
Telfer is one of Australia’s major gold processing facilities, comprising two processing trains with a combined capacity of 20 Mt/y.
Greatland has previously outlined plans for Havieron to be developed as a large-scale sub-level open-stope underground mine, supported by an efficient conveyor-based materials handling system.
Project delivery commenced following the receipt of a Limited Notice of Award in early June 2026.
Lycopodium Managing Director and CEO Peter De Leo said the company was pleased to support Greatland in developing its Telfer Hub strategy and leveraging the existing processing infrastructure at Telfer to process ore from Havieron.
“Havieron is a world-class, high-grade gold project and we are very pleased to have this opportunity to support Greatland in the development of its Telfer Hub strategy, leveraging the existing processing facilities available at Telfer to mine ore from Havieron,” said De Leo.
