Metso and BHP Sign Three-Year Agreement for Metallic Liners for WAIO Operations: A Major Milestone in Mining Solutions

Metso, a leading provider of mining solutions, has recently signed a three-year agreement with BHP for the supply of metallic liners for chute solutions specifically for BHP's Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) operations. The value of the agreement has not been disclosed, but it is expected to be significant given the scope of the contract.

Under the agreement, Metso will provide a suite of liner solutions, including its XAlloy metallic and cast wear liners. These liners are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of mining operations and are known for their ability to minimize downtime while maximizing throughput and productivity.

"We are strongly focused on delivering better overall efficiency and productivity for our customer operations," said Metso's Chute and Conveyor Solutions Director, Tobias Krull. "With our extensive offering in chute liner designs, backed by decades of experience and innovation, we can deliver greater uptime and safer, quicker maintenance for our customers."

The agreement further solidifies Metso's position as a trusted solutions provider within the mining industry. Metso has a strong history of providing tailored chute wear lining solutions for diverse mining applications, prioritizing safety, performance, and longevity.

In addition to its customized solutions, Metso has a strong manufacturing presence in Australia, which includes advanced foundry operations and specialized production of rubber and Poly-Met materials. The company also has a considerable network of service centers across Australia to support its customers.

Earlier this year, Metso launched the Cu POX leaching solution, a hydrometallurgical process designed to improve the efficiency of copper sulphide leaching and promote environmental sustainability. The Cu POX leaching solution addresses the challenges associated with changing ore compositions and the depletion of mineral deposits.

In conclusion, Metso's agreement with BHP is a significant milestone in the company's continued commitment to providing innovative and efficient mining solutions to its customers. With its extensive experience and expertise in the industry, Metso is well-positioned to deliver on its promises of improved efficiency and productivity for BHP's WAIO operations.
