Rox Resources engages MACA Interquip Mintrex for Youanmi processing plant EPC
Rox Resources Limited has engaged MACA Interquip Mintrex (MIQM) as the preferred contractor for the engineering, procurement and construction of the Youanmi Processing Plant and associated facilities for its 100%-owned Youanmi gold project in Western Australia.
Part of the MACA Limited (MLD) Group, MIQM is a multi-disciplinary company with a proven track record in delivering small to large scale SMP projects, new and refurbished plant and equipment and consumables to the mineral processing and resource sectors, Rox Resources states, noting that the contractor presented a competitive proposal that would ensure delivery of the planned infrastructure in line with its pathway to production.
Rox Resources has engaged MIQM since early 2024 to assist with the prefeasibility study and definitive feasibility study for Youanmi, along with associated metallurgical test work undertaken by the company.
In December 2025, MIQM commenced early front-end engineering works for the processing plant to ensure the company’s planned timeline can be maintained.
The early engagement of MIQM will see key workstreams progress, including ordering of the remaining long-lead items and preparation for ground works, in preparation for construction to begin following a Final Investment Decision by the company, it said.
Rox Resources Managing Director & CEO, Phill Wilding, said: “The engagement of MACA Interquip Mintrex as our preferred EPC contractor is yet another major milestone for Rox as we accelerate our pathway to production for the Youanmi gold project.
“MIQM is a globally renowned tier one engineering consultancy that has been working with Rox through the study phases and metallurgical test work, gaining a strong understanding of the project’s requirements. Continuing with the early works process and procurement of long-lead items is critical to our delivery timeframes and I’m pleased to report MIQM is well advanced on these processes
“With debt financing also progressing, all required approvals lodged, and a Final Investment Decision on track for late in this quarter, Rox is edging closer to becoming Western Australia’s next gold producer of scale and grade.”
The November 2025 feasibility study on Youanmi envisaged a 1,000 t/d plant supporting a plan to produce around 117,000 oz/y of gold over an initial mine life of seven years. The mill was to have a stockpile of around 190,000 t at circa-3.3 g/t Au prior to commissioning.
