Mongolia’s Mongolyn Alt (MAK) Group has awarded the Danish company FLSmidth a contract worth approximately USD 105 million to supply equipment and services for one of MAK’s copper mines.

FLSmidth says it will supply a 40,000-tons-per-day copper concentrator utilizing the company’s proprietary technology. 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.

“Mongolia holds vast deposits of natural resources and being able to deliver state-of-the-art technology, as with this contract, we are able to strengthen our position and footprint in this increasingly important market,” FLSmidth CEO Jшrgen Huno Rasmussen said in a statement.
