Outotec to deliver concentrator technology for Codelco in Chile
Outotec has signed a contract with Chilean Codelco, the leading copper producer
in the world, for the design and delivery of concentrator technology to
Codelco's new Mina Ministro Hales mine in northern Chile. The contract value is
approximately EUR 24 million, half of which was booked in Outotec's second
quarter and the rest in the third quarter order intake.
Outotec's scope of delivery covers the world's largest TankCell® 300 flotation
cells, concentrate thickeners and a turn-key filtration plant including basic
and detail engineering, supply of proprietary and process equipment as well as
installation, start up services and training. The new facility will have an
annual capacity of up to 550,000 tonnes of concentrate, and it is scheduled to
be commissioned in early 2013.
This new contract complements the earlier contracts Outotec has made with
Codelco in 2010 and 2011 for the Mina Ministro Hales mine, valued at
approximately EUR 134 million and including the delivery of a copper concentrate
roasting plant, gas cleaning system, sulfuric acid plant and effluent treatment
plant.
"This additional contract demonstrates our ability to offer and implement large
process solutions for our customers. Our strong technology portfolio covers the
entire value chain from ore to refined metals. With a mission 'Sustainable use
of Earth's natural resources' we help our customers to increase recovery of
valuable minerals, to reduce energy and water consumption as well as the
environmental impact of their operations", says Pertti Korhonen, President and
CEO of Outotec.
