Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority
No. 46-2008, 11 November 2008
FLSmidth Minerals has signed a contract worth USD 62m (DKK 361m) with
Chinese-owned Minera Chinalco Peru for equipment for its Toromocho
copper mine in the Morococha mining district about 140 kilometres
east of Lima, the capital of Peru.
FLSmidth Minerals is to provide detailed engineering and design, as
well as manufacturing and delivery of equipment, including one
gyratory crusher, one SAG mill and two ball mills. The mills are some
of the largest in the world. The SAG mill will grind over 5,000
tonnes of copper ore per hour when it reaches full production."This contract is another example of the steady flow of orders
FLSmidth Minerals is continuing to obtain from the minerals
processing industry even during the current global economic
slowdown," Group Chief Executive Officer Jørgen Huno Rasmussen
comments.
The contract will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth earnings until
the last equipment has been supplied in late 2010.
