DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been selected by Teck
Resources Limited and Aurubis
AG to perform the pre-feasibility study (PFS) for a proposed copper
cathode production facility in Peru. Under the terms of the contract,
Jacobs will provide capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational
expenditure (OPEX) estimates to Teck and Aurubis for determining project
pre-feasibility. Teck and Aurubis’ conceptual copper cathode production
facility would incorporate their proprietary CESL copper-arsenic process

controlled arsenic deportment, and reduced environmental impact compared
to traditional pyrometallurgical smelter processing facilities in
respect to air, dust and water.

and business objectives for the company’s proposed copper cathode
production facility.”
