Danish headquartered multinational mineral processing and materials handling group, FLSmidth, which has much of its minerals processing manufacturing and technology base in North America., has been awarded a contract worth approximately $US 105 million from the Mongolian company, Mongolyn Alt (MAK) Group, to supply a greenfield copper concentrator for a mine some 500 kilometres from the capital city Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

The order comprises supply of a 40,000 tonnes per day copper concentrator including proprietary FLSmidth technology for all processes in the plant. The recently acquired Knelson-Deswik fine grinding mill will be utilized for concentrate re-grind. An automated control system, basic and detailed plant and process engineering and related supervision, start-up and commissioning services will also be supplied by FLSmidth.  

MAK is an established player in coal, which it produces from three open cut mines in Mongolia, and is diversifying into copper. FLSmidth says it is proud to have been selected by MAK to supply this state-of-the-art concentrator based on the most efficient and environmentally sustainable minerals processing technologies.
