Orezone Gold Corporation has awarded Metso an order for an 18MW SAG mill for the Phase II Expansion at their Bomboré Gold mine in Burkina Faso. Metso’s Planet Positive portfolio includes the Premier SAG (semi autogenous) mill, which will be delivered to Bomboré due to its energy efficiency.
“This high-capacity SAG mill, which will be one of the largest gear driven mills installed in Africa, is based on proven technology,” said Christoph Hoetzel, SVP, Grinding business line at Metso.
The SAG mill has an efficient LSS drive and a Polymer Hydrostatic Shoe Bearing (HSB) system, which enhances radial and axial bearing dependability and durability greatly. It is also outfitted with the Metso MillSense mill charge sensor system, which aids in the stabilization and optimization of the grinding process for dependable operation and enhanced throughput.
Metso offers the industry’s widest range of horizontal grinding mills, including Premier and Select mills. They can be easily integrated with Metso’s mill relining equipment and are supported by the company’s extensive services network to ensure optimization during the mills’ lifetime. Metso also offers the comprehensive mill linings range and relining services, with materials and designs optimized for each specific application.
