Portugal’s mining strategy may favour copper over lithium
Portugal already has the largest copper mine in the European Union, operated by Lundin Mining.
Multotec recently commissioned its largest injection moulder, an 850 t machine with a 9 kg shot weight. “The advantages of a machine this size are many,” Multotec’s Derrick Alston said. “A primary benefit is the increased speed to market it affords our products, while other advantages include being able to produce thicker and longer polyurethane screening panels, or multiple panels in the same mould. In the case of the thicker panels, in addition to a faster speed to market we can now achieve an even better quality product.”
