Outotec has been awarded a contract by La Sino-Congolaise Des Mines (Sicomines), a joint-venture of companies from China and the DRC, for the delivery of copper solvent extraction technology to Sicomines\u2019 project near Kolwezi. <\/p>\n

The order, valued at approximately $30 million, has been booked with Outotec\u2019s orders for the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Outotec\u2019s scope includes basic engineering, technology and equipment deliveries as well as advisory services for mechanical installation<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

Outotec\u2019s scope includes basic engineering, technology and equipment deliveries as well as advisory services for mechanical installation and commissioning and start-up of the modular VSF X copper solvent extraction plant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to working with Sicomines on this project. We will be happy to deliver the technology package including our modern VSF X modular concept and benefits that come with it \u2013 a fast-track delivery and installation as well as environmentally friendly and safe performance of the plant. The Sicomines project will be a great reference for Outotec in the active African copper-cobalt market,\u201d Kalle Harkki, head of Outotec\u2019s metals refining business, said in a release.<\/p>\n

According to a 2011 paper from the South African Institute of International Affairs<\/em>, the Congolese and Chinese parties first entered into a memorandum of understanding in 2007 where the latter would invest in infrastructure in exchange for mining concessions. By 2009, a third and amended version of the contract outlined a resource of 10.6 million tonnes of copper and 626,619 tonnes of cobalt within the mining concessions.<\/p>\n

Outotec develops technologies and services for the sustainable use of the earth\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n
