Ausmelt to build new smelter for Vinto

摘要

Australian specialist Ausmelt Ltd has signed contracts with Empresa Metalurgica Vinto to use Ausmelt Technology for a new tin smelter at Oruro in Bolivia. Engineering design for the new Ausmelt furnace will begin immediately. The smelter will be designed to process around 38,000 tonnes a year of tin concentrates. The concentrates will be smelted and reduced sequentially in a two-stage process in a single furnace to produce approximately 18,000 tonnes of tin metal a year.
