Alara Resources Limited announced the completion of another key component of the construction phase of the Wash-hi Majaza Copper-Gold Project, with the inauguration of the site accommodation village. Construction of the accommodation village at the Wash-hi Majaza project site is now complete. The prefabricated accommodation camp is designed to house 325 personnel from the construction, mining, and plant operation crews. As accommodation requirements for the
construction crew diminishes, the camp will be progressively retrofitted to house permanent mine and processing facility staff. The Village is designed for a minimum life of 12 years. This is comfortably above the current estimated Project life of 10.4 years, giving the Company increased flexibility should further copper discoveries be made along the strike zone or in nearby areas. The accommodation village was planned with due regard to Sharia law, the religious law of
Islam, reflected principally in the provision of suitable facilities for prayer, as well as for the appropriate preparation and quality of food. Amenities in the multi-purpose village include: Dining halls capable of serving cuisine for both Omani nationals and expat staff. Appropriate parking, power grid connection ready, firefighting arrangements, water supply, sewage handling, general store and other facilities needed to support high-quality village life. A field suitable for football, cricket and other outdoor games, plus two halls incorporating various recreation facilities and gymnasiums. A prayer hall (mosque). Comprehensive first aid facilities, including a qualified nurse supported by a standby ambulance. Offices to accommodate around 100 mining consultants, contractors, operations and
maintenance and general AHRL staff. A fully equipped laboratory for in-house testing of samples from mine and processing plant for various chemical and physical tests required for QAQC and other purposes.
