Bechtel Selected To Deliver EPC Scope For Eva Copper Mine Project

Bechtel has been selected by Harmony to deliver the Eva Copper Mine Project Copper Concentrator and Non-Process Infrastructure in Northwest Queensland, a landmark greenfield development that will establish a long-life open-pit mining operation. The project is set to become the region’s largest new copper operation and a key contributor to Australia’s critical minerals strategy, helping to advance the global energy transition.

After successfully completing an updated front-end engineering design and a final investment decision by the Harmony Board of Directors in November 2025, Harmony has appointed Bechtel as its Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) partner to deliver the awarded project scope, leading to first production in 2028.

“We are honored to partner with Harmony to deliver the Eva Copper Mine Project, a development that will strengthen Australia’s position in the global copper supply chain,” said Ailie MacAdam, President of Bechtel Mining & Metals.

“Copper underpins modern infrastructure and the transition to a low-carbon future, enabling advances in infrastructure, technology, and electrification. This project will deliver lasting value for Queensland through jobs and opportunities for regional suppliers.”

Bechtel is recognized as a world leader in copper project delivery, having executed 42 major copper projects over the past three decades, representing approximately 40% of the world’s copper production capacity.

Construction of the copper concentrator and supporting infrastructure is scheduled to begin in 2026.
