At the end of March, Sandvik Mining signed three major materials handling contracts with customers in Latin America and Australia. The combined value of the contracts exceeds SEK1,600 million. The orders include design and supply of continuous mining equipment for a fully truckless In-Pit Crushing and Conveying system and two waste lines for a surface mine in Latin America.
