Oversize reduction project at the Iron Ore Company of Canada

摘要

The first phase of the expansion project involves the acquisition of new drilling, loading and hauling equipment at the mine, the construction of an inpit crusher, the construction of a new overland conveyor linking the crusher to the concentrator, the installation of an additional autogenous grinding (AG) mill at the concentrator, as well as upgrades to the power supply to the plant and the acquisition of new railway locomotives and ore cars. Since the implementation of the thickened emulsion at the end of the first quarter 2009, there has been a significant reduction in downtime hours due to bridging at the crusher.
