Metso to Deliver a Large Minerals Processing Equipment Package to Kansanshi Copper Mine in Zambia

Canadian First Quantum Minerals (FQM) has placed an additional order with Metso for the delivery of minerals processing equipment to their Kansanshi copper mine S3 expansion announced in 2022 in Zambia. The value of the order exceeds EUR 20 million, and it has been booked in the Minerals segment’s second-quarter orders received.

Metso’s scope of delivery includes apron feeders, Nordberg® MP800 cone crushers, TankCell® e630 and TankCell® e300 mechanical flotation cells, high-intensity Concorde Cell™ units, ColumnCell units, HRT thickeners and a clarifyer. Most of the separation equipment are part of Metso’s Planet Positive offering. Last year, Metso was awarded an order for two Premier™  grinding mills with a total installed power of 50 MW including Metso Megaliner and metallic mill linings.

“Kansanshi’s flotation flowsheet combines the well-proven, energy efficient TankCell® flotation cells with the new Concorde Cell, unlocking the potential for further improved flotation performance. Concorde Cell high-intensity, forced-air pneumatic flotation cells allow operations to enhance fine and ultrafine particle selectivity,” says Antti Rinne, Vice President, Flotation, at Metso.
