Global mineral processing equipment manufacturing specialist Metso is to deliver a significant order consisting of 38 feeders for the major Cananeas cooper mine in Mexico, 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 US$9 million
The belt feeders will be installed at Grupo Mexico subsidiary Buenavista del Cobre's Cananea mine, one of the world's largest copper mines, 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 mine will be completed during March 2014 with start-up in August 2014.
FEEDERS Will 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 tonnes/hour, eight are 60" x 8.5 m with a 918 tonnes/hour capacity, eight are 72" x 15 m with a 1590 tonnes/hour capacity, and sixteen are 36" x 7 m with a 575 tonnes/hour capacity.
The feeders will be installed as part of the copper concentrator expansion project that is targeting a capacity increase of 110,000 tonnes/day. After the project, the mine will be able to process up to 200,000 tonnes/hour of copper ore daily.
Buenavista del Cobre belongs to the Grupo Mexico holding company, which has a number of mining operations 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 US$10 billion.
