As a part of the body settlement introduced in August 2024, Barrick Mining’s (50%) Reko Diq Mining Firm has awarded Metso with the remaining main contracts to produce superior Metso Plus beneficiation and dewatering gear for Reko Diq Mining Firm’s copper-gold venture in Pakistan.
The whole worth of those now signed contracts is roughly €70 million. €40 million was recorded within the Minerals section’s 2025 third-quarter and €30 million in fourth-quarter order consumption.
Metso‘s supply for the Reko Diq beneficiation circuit features a state-of-the artwork and full flotation flowsheet that integrates TankCell® and Concorde CellTM applied sciences. The circuit design options TankCell mechanical cells for the rougher and cleaner scavenger levels, and excessive depth forced-air pneumatic Concorde Cell models for the ultrafine particle cleaner scalper and recleaner duties.
“Metso’s giant TankCell know-how stays the baseline for the rougher circuit, whereas the cleaner circuit is optimised with Concorde Cell know-how to carry elevated metallurgical effectivity at diminished capital and working prices. Combining the well-proven TankCell know-how with Concorde Cell is a low-risk and high-benefit method for low-grade and high-throughput flotation flowsheets akin to Reko Diq,” says Antti Rinne, Vice President, Flotation at Metso.
The Concorde Cell know-how will function in conjunction with the HIGmillTM regrinding mills ordered for the venture in 2024. It is likely one of the first absolutely built-in HIGmill-Concorde Cell circuits, offering an energy-efficient regrinding-flotation flowsheet for superior restoration price when processing finely disseminated and sophisticated ore sorts.
For focus filtration, Metso will ship 4 Larox® PF60 collection filters and auxiliaries, in addition to sturdy slurry pumps for main and secondary levels of filtration. The supply additionally contains 5 HRT Excessive Fee Thickeners for various duties. All thickeners are outfitted with ReactorwellTM know-how, enabling superior efficiency.
Moreover, the order accommodates a mill reline machine with award-winning security options and superior Auto-GrappleTM performance to service the massive PremierTM ball mills ordered for the venture in 2024. The order underscores Metso’s distinctive capacity to supply mills, mill linings, and mill reline machines from a single supplier, guaranteeing seamless interfacing.
