El Creston

JDS was retained by Mercator Minerals in July 2009 for multiple phases of the El Creston molybdenum mine project in Mexico. Initial work included environmental and hydrological studies and economic assessments. JDS delivered a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment in December 2010, followed by a NI 43-101 compliant Feasibility Study in 2011 for the $600M capital project. JDS managed geotechnical fieldwork, environmental studies, water and well field studies, metallurgical works, drilling, assaying, and coordinated detailed engineering through Jacobs Engineering to complete the Feasibility Study.
