Metso Corporation and Fortescue have successfully produced their first hot metal at the Christmas Creek Green Metal Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, utilizing Metso’s electric direct reduced iron (DRI) smelting furnace technology.

The comprehensive processing package includes crushers, flotation cells, thickeners, and regrind mills for the Pilbara site.

Emerald Resources deployed Metso horizontal grinding mills to optimize throughput and equipment availability at its Australian and Cambodian gold extraction facilities.

Metso's Circored process uses green hydrogen to produce direct reduced iron from fine ore, enabling carbon-free steelmaking in electric smelting furnaces without the need for pelletizing.

Metso’s railcar dumpers can unload both individual and unit trains of any length, style or car size, automatically handling a wide variety of dry bulk materials with high throughput and minimal structural stress.

Metso has received an order for a portable, plug-and-play HPGR circuit, the first in Australia, to be used at a gold operation.

Under the terms of the contract, Metso will support BHP’s Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) operations with a suite of liner solutions.

Metso’s new mega-class press boosts production of larger liners, enhancing customer service through faster relines, improved efficiency, reduced costs, and shorter delivery times.

By extending the operating life of assets, increasing energy and water efficiency, and minimizing plant downtime, Metso supports customers in achieving their financial, environmental and safety objectives.
