Rio Tinto hails another step closer to develop Serbian lithium mine
If developed, the $2.4 billion Jadar lithium project in Western Serbia could cover 90% of Europe's current lithium needs.
Bridon International has invested £30m in a Tyneside factory that will produce multi-strand ropes in gross package weights of up to 650 t – which according to Bridon will make them by far the largest and most complex in the world. The facility will enable Bridon to offer unrivalled strength, safety and durability in mining applications such as dragline hoist and drag ropes and electric mining shovel ropes on the surface and deep mine hoists for underground mine shafts.
