UPDATE 3.05pm: Gold Road has appointed GR Engineering and AMC Consultants to help it with a pre-feasibility study on the Gruyere gold project in Central WA.
GR has been appointed as the process engineers to undertake the process plant and infrastructure design and cost estimation.

Gold Road said it had also appointed a principal metallurgist and an approvals manager.
Chairman Ian Murray said the sophisticated technical and statutory work underway and planned for the Gruyere project called for a sensible balance of in-house and external capabilities.
“GR and AMC are both well known in the mining industry as leaders in their specialities and the two owner’s team appointments have significant experience in their respective fields,” he said.
“Our aim is to move the studies along quickly and thoroughly, while building up our internal capacity to ensure that we are ready for our next phase of development.”
