Metso Outotec to deliver grinding mills to First Quantum’s copper mine in Zambia

First Quantum’s Kansanshi mine, located near Solwezi in the northwestern province of Zambia, is amongst the largest copper mines in the world and the largest in Africa. The company is currently working on a further expansion, including a standalone 25 Mt/y processing plant that will increase copper production substantially.

Metso Outotec grinding mills provide advanced user-friendly operations, main bearing systems, high availability and ease of maintenance. The Premier horizontal grinding mills are supported by the use of advanced simulation tools during the design phase. These tools use 3D technology and evaluate all parameters of the mill design, ranging from the mill body, to the open gearing and the bearing system.
