Last week, at the world’s largest mining trade show, MINExpo, FLSmidth and Goldcorp/New Gold signed an agreement for engineering services for key technologies for the El Morro gold/copper project in Chile. The asset, El Morro, is jointly owned by Goldcorp and New Gold.

As previously announced by Goldcorp/New Gold, El Morro site development and construction activities have been suspended since April 30, 2012, pending the correction by the Chilean environmental permitting authority (the Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental, or SEA) of certain deficiencies specifically identified by a decision of the Antofogasta Court of Appeals.
