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.
Grupo Mexico Buena Vista del Cobre is constantly seeking opportunities to improve its grinding process. The goal is to reduce downtime by shortening the reline time from seven to four days. Based on the current prices of metal and plant recovery, this would mean a savings of up to US$900,000. To reach the goal, the mine decided to install Megaliner™ mill liners from Metso.
