(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on July 9, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. local time
New service hub to be built in Cananea to assist during installation and future
servicing
Metso will deliver a significant order consisting of 38 feeders for the major
Mexican copper mine Buenavista del Cobre, owned by Grupo Mexico. The order will
help to double the mine's capacity of copper concentrate by securing prompt
copper ore feed flow in the mine extension project. The order value is over EUR
7 million.
The belt feeders will be installed at Buenavista del Cobre's Cananea copper
mine, located in Sonora, in Mexico. To assist with the installation and future
servicing, Metso will open a new, fully equipped service hub at the mine site.
"This belt feeder order follows our minerals processing equipment contract with
Buenavista. The client wanted a reliable, reputable partner to secure the
productivity targets of the new mine expansion," comments Alejandro Castillo,
Capital Project Sales Manager, Metso.
"Our industry leading services capabilities also greatly influenced the
customer's decision. In addition to the equipment delivery, we are able to
provide the required services support, including the investment for a new on-
site service hub," Castillo adds.
Metso's equipment deliveries to the Buenavista del Cobre copper mine will be
completed during March 2014 with start-up in August 2014. The order is included
in Mining and Construction's second-quarter 2013 orders received.
Feeders to significantly increase capacity
The belt-type feeder order comprises equipment capable of meeting all copper ore
feeding challenges after the mine expansion. Five of the feeders are sized 60" x
8.5 m with a capacity of 1260 metric tons per hour, eight are 60" x 8.5 m with a
918 mtph capacity, eight are 72" x 15 m with a 1590 mtph capacity, and sixteen
are 36" x 7 m with a 575 mtph capacity.
The feeders will be installed as part of the copper concentrator expansion
project that is targeting a capacity increase of 110,000 metric tons per day.
After the project, the mine will be able to process up to 200,000 mtph of copper
ore daily.
Buenavista del Cobre belongs to the Grupo Mexico holding company, which has a
number of mining activities in Mexico, Peru and the USA. Grupo Mexico is the
third largest copper producer worldwide and owns the biggest copper reserves
globally. The group's sales in 2012 were over USD 10 billion.
