MDM Engineering has been awarded the EPCM contract for the engineering and construction of a 1.2 Mt/y Dense Media Separation (DMS) plant for Comide, a subsidiary of Camrose Resources, which itself is a joint venture between ENRC and Cerida. This plant is the first of two DMS units to be built on site which, when completed, will have an annual output of 3 Mt/y. 

Martin Smith, MDM CEO commented: “This new relationship with Comide, is strategic for MDM, considering the long-standing working relationship that MDM has had with Africo Resources, another subsidiary of Camrose Resources.” In August 2010, ENRC acquired 50.5% of Camrose Resources through wholly owned subsidiary ENRC Congo BV. Camrose has a 56% interest in Comide, which holds the exploitation licences for the Kii, Mashitu and Pangalume copper/cobalt assets, which are contiguous to Africo’s Kalukundi property, where MDM was recently awarded the contract to conduct an increased throughput design update and cost revalidation of the Bankable Feasibility Study.
