(“Almonty” or the “Company”) (TSX: AII / ASX: AII / OTCQX: ALMTF / Frankfurt: ALI.F), has announced a significant milestone in the development of its Sangdong tungsten mine and processing plant with the arrival and installation of cutting-edge grinding equipment from Metso Corporation. This development brings the Sangdong project one step closer to full operations, marking a pivotal moment in the effort to supply an enormous new source of tungsten from outside of China. Almonty’s Chairman, President and CEO Lewis Black said: “We sincerely appreciate Metso and its specialized professionals for their dedicated effort and hard work in delivering this significant engineering output, applying their paralleled experience and expertise in the mining industry to develop the most optimal design criteria for the equipment and processing at the Sangdong plant.” The installation of Metso’s semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill and ball mill is critical to enabling efficient and precise processing of tungsten ore. These state-of-the-art machines will ensure the ore meets exact specifications for downstream processing, boosting the operational capabilities of one of the largest high-grade tungsten deposits in the world. Once operational, the Sangdong mine will be a key supplier in diversifying global tungsten sources, reducing reliance on Chinese-controlled supply chains. Key Aspects of the Project: Comprehensive Installation Expertise: Metso will manage every stage of the ball mill installation, including site preparation, equipment assembly, precise alignment, and commissioning. Furthermore, Metso emphasized the critical importance of aligning the machinery to exacting tolerances, limiting deviations to just 0.008 mm/m. This precision ensures maximum operational stability and extends the equipment's longevity. Focus on Safety and Compliance: The team will adhere to rigorous safety protocols and comply with local and international mining standards to ensure the safety of personnel and the surrounding environment throughout the project. Advanced Technology and Techniques: Using cutting-edge technology and methods, the installation will be executed efficiently, minimizing disruptions and ensuring optimal performance. Metso stressed the critical importance of performing bolt te...
