ABB to Supply Advanced Grinding Technology for Major Copper Mine in Australia
ABB has secured a contract to provide gearless mill drive (GMD) and ring-geared mill drive (RMD) systems for the Eva Copper Mine Project in Queensland, Australia. This project, led by Harmony Gold, is set to become a significant copper producer, with an expected annual output of 60,000 tons over a minimum 15-year lifespan. The technology provided by ABB is designed to enhance efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility, crucial for modern mining operations. The contract highlights the growing demand for critical metals and the resurgence of large-scale mining projects driven by the global energy transition. ABB's systems will be integral to the mine's operations, ensuring efficient processing of copper ore throughout the mine's life.
