Project Description

CIMA+ mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to fulfill the role of CAPEX Project Manager for Glencore at the Raglan Mine. This mandate
involved a weekly hour allotment during which ECS coordinated Capital Approval Requests (CAR), site inspections and engineering mandates. ECS, as
CAPEX Project Manager, was responsible for the budgets, timelines, scope, quality, conformity and logistics of all projects falling within our Portfolio.

The projects range in size and status and are managed from the Concept Phase through to Base Engineering and into the Execution Phase.

ECS coordinated, lead and followed up on internal status updates, public Call for Tenders, Risk Management tasks, budget forecasting and
constructibility reviews. ECS’ projects were part of a larger Rehabilitation Program at the Raglan Mine which double the effective lifespan of the mine.

Through site visits, delegated inspections with the site support staff and proper Stakeholder Management, ECS manages 8 projects concurrently with a
total value of 3 M$. ECS has also renewed their service contract with CIMA for a second consecutive year
