Anglo Asian Mining is installing nine Maelgwyn Imhoflot high‑efficiency pneumatic flotation cells at its Gedabek plant in Azerbaijan, with the upgrade scheduled for completion by the end of April to expand sulphide processing capacity. Parallel investment at the Demirli operation targets additional concentrator throughput to treat ore from the nearby Gilar and Zafar deposits, integrating with existing agitation leach and heap leach circuits. The move signals a shift towards higher‑grade sulphide recovery and improved metal yields from complex polymetallic ores across the Gedabek Contract Area.

Two sets of mine hoisting equipment from Tianjin SIEMAG TECBERG Machinery Co Ltd have passed final acceptance at the SDE 2# coal mine in Indonesia, confirming the German group’s first operational hoisting installation in the country. The project, delivered for the developing SDE 2# shaft complex, includes complete mechanical and electrical hoist systems engineered for deep coal operations. Successful commissioning signals SIEMAG TECBERG’s technical and service capability for shaft hoisting in Indonesia and supports its broader expansion strategy in Southeast Asia.

Commissioning has started on Rio2’s new Tailings Filtration Facility at the Condestable copper mine in Peru, an 18‑month build with a reported capital cost of about US$27 million to convert the operation to dry‑stack tailings. The facility will replace conventional slurry deposition with filtered tailings stacked on a compacted, engineered surface, reducing water return pipelines and large impoundment requirements. For geotechnical and tailings engineers, the shift implies new demands on filtration performance, stack stability design and operational monitoring in a seismically active coastal region.
