BHP bets billions on Chile mines to face global copper crunch
BHP detailed to investors this week plans to spend $10.7 billion to $14.7 billion within about 10 years.
Outotec has entered into cooperation with National Development Corporation of Mongolia (NDC) to conduct a conceptual study for a copper smelter to be located in Sainshand, Mongolia. NDC is a consortium of the largest Mongolian private sector companies seeking to contribute in the industrial development of the country.

We were chosen as the technology partner for developing the Mongolian mining and metallurgical industry because of our leading technological capabilities and our strong reputation in delivering complete solutions to our customers”, says Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
