Enter Engineering and FLSmidth have signed a strategic cooperation agreement covering the development of new production lines at Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex’s MOF-4 copper processing plant in Uzbekistan.
The agreement involves the supply of core processing equipment and design services over several years, with an estimated total value of $215 million.
Enter Engineering’s construction work on the MOF-4 plant is already underway. Once completed, it will reportedly enable Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex to become one of the world’s largest copper, gold, and molybdenum producers.
Under the terms of the agreement, FLSmidth will supply Enter Engineering with a range of core process equipment including High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGRs), Vertical Mills, Screens, Thickeners, Dewatering Filters, Gravity Concentrators and Hydrocyclones.
Enter Engineering Chairman Bakhtiyor Fazilov says the company is proud to play its part in constructing one of Uzbekistan’s most important industrial production projects.
“Together with FLSmidth, Enter Engineering will ensure that Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex has the capacity to supply greater amounts of copper to customers in Uzbekistan, helping to strengthen and diversify the country’s economy,” says Fazilov.
FLSmidth Group CEO Mikko Keto says the company’s choice as a key strategic partner is a clear indication of the effectiveness and high recovery rates of our technology solutions, proven in the global market.
“Nowadays, Uzbekistan is experiencing rapid economic development, and its mining industry plays a key role in this. We are pleased to support the further development of the country through our cooperation with Enter Engineering and Almalyk MMC to provide copper concentrate production lines,” says Keto.
