FLSmidth has won a contract worth $49 million from Detour Gold for the supply of equipment for its Detour Lake gold plant in northeast Ontario. The order includes two SAG mills, two ball mills and one gyratory crusher to be delivered over the course of this year and 2011. The open-pit plant will have a capacity of 55,000 t/d.

“Canada offers numerous opportunities for minerals extraction and processing of gold, copper and other metals. We are therefore very happy to have received this order, which further strengthens our presence and position in the country as a one source solutions provider,” Group CEO, Jørgen Huno Rasmussen commented.

Detour Gold is currently carrying out a feasibility study, which will be completed in Q2, 2010. The company says the project currently represents Canada’s second largest undeveloped gold reserve with 8.8 Moz of reserves.
