Sandvik has secured a SEK 175 million order from LKAB to supply crushing and screening equipment for the new iron ore sorting plant at Malmberget, booked in Q2 2026. The package includes cone crushers, double-deck screens and vibrating feeders, forming the core of the primary and secondary sizing circuit. For plant designers and process engineers, the deal signals continued reliance on high-capacity, fixed crushing lines for Nordic underground iron ore operations rather than modular or fully mobile alternatives.

ExxonMobil has finalised a supply agreement with Teck for Esso Ethos+ Renewable Diesel R100 in Canada and completed the first delivery to Teck’s Highland Valley Copper (HVC) operations in British Columbia. The 100% renewable diesel will be produced by Imperial Oil’s Strathcona refinery, which is being upgraded to manufacture bio-based fuels for heavy-duty applications such as mine haul trucks and support fleets. For mine operators, the deal signals growing availability of drop-in low-carbon fuels compatible with existing diesel engines and fuel infrastructure.

Delivery of locomotives to Camalco Cameroon S.A marks a key step in Canyon Resources’ mine-to-port logistics build-out for the Minim Martap bauxite project. The rail units will underpin dedicated ore haulage from the mine in Cameroon to port export facilities, supporting the planned production ramp-up and reducing reliance on road trucking. For engineers, the move signals that bulk materials handling, rail integration and port interface design are now on the project’s critical path.
