Engineering services firm Ausenco has been chosen to complete a definitive feasibility study on the proposed A$480 million Apollo Hill gold project in Western Australia.
Owner Saturn Metals’ December 2025 prefeasibility study outlined a planned 12-year, 10 million tonnes per annum heap leach operation producing an average 106,000 ounces of gold a year.
“Ausenco has a strong track record of success in developing first-class heap leach projects across the globe, which will be a real asset for Saturn,” Saturn managing director Ian Bamborough said.
“A solid grounding in the Australian engineering and construction environment makes Ausenco an ideal business partner as we take the next important step in advancing the development of a large-scale, long-life gold project at Apollo Hill.”
The Apollo Hill DFS is scheduled for completion later this year.
