What's Happening?
Metso has been awarded significant contracts by the Reko Diq Mining Company to supply advanced beneficiation and dewatering equipment for the Reko Diq copper-gold project in Pakistan. The total value of these contracts is approximately €70 million, with
€40 million recorded in the third quarter and €30 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Metso's delivery includes a comprehensive flotation flowsheet integrating TankCell and Concorde Cell technologies, designed to enhance metallurgical efficiency while reducing costs. The project will also feature HIGmill regrinding mills, Larox PF60 series filters, and HRT High Rate Thickeners equipped with Reactorwell technology. Additionally, a mill reline machine with advanced safety features will be provided to service the large Premier ball mills ordered for the project.
Why It's Important?
This development is significant as it highlights Metso's role in advancing mining technology and efficiency in large-scale projects. The integration of TankCell and Concorde Cell technologies represents a strategic move to optimize the flotation process, crucial for processing low-grade and high-throughput ores. The project underscores the importance of technological innovation in the mining industry, potentially setting new standards for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The successful implementation of these technologies could lead to increased recovery rates and reduced environmental impact, benefiting both the mining company and the broader industry.
What's Next?
As the project progresses, the focus will likely be on the successful installation and integration of the advanced equipment provided by Metso. The mining company will need to ensure that the new technologies are effectively utilized to achieve the desired efficiency and recovery rates. Stakeholders will be monitoring the project's impact on the local economy and environment, as well as its potential to influence future mining projects globally. The collaboration between Metso and Reko Diq Mining Company may also pave the way for further partnerships in the mining sector.
