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.

WireCo has identified vibration and shock transfer as a major driver of structural fatigue in draglines and electric rope shovels, and is promoting its UNION Gladiator synthetic pendants to reduce these dynamic loads. By replacing traditional steel pendants with synthetic elements, the system is designed to dampen impact forces transmitted through the boom and rigging, lowering peak stresses on critical welds and chord members. The approach targets mines operating equipment at higher duty cycles, aiming to extend structural life and defer major rebuilds or replacements.
