:: Metso to Supply Grinding Equipment to Newcrest Gold Mine in Australia

Metso will supply two complete grinding mills and related equipment to Newcrest Cadia Valley gold mine in New South Wales, Australia. The value of these two orders is over EUR 16million, and the delivery will be completed by June 2010. The orders comprise two grinding mills. The first is a ball mill that will be the most powerful ball mill supplied into Australia. The second is a vertical stirred mill and it is the first of this size to be installed in the world.

The ball mill will be installed in the Newcrest Cadia concentrator and the vertical mill to the company's adjacent Ridgeway concentrator.
