Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria has placed an order with Metso for the supply of two horizontal grinding mills for its newly re-opened copper mine located in Kiruna, northern Sweden, the OEM says.
With an annual production of 26,000 t of copper concentrate, Viscaria is aiming to become Sweden’s second-largest copper producer, taking on an important role on the European market. The order value is approximately €16 million ($18.6 million), and it is booked in the Minerals segment’s 2026 March-quarter orders received.
Metso’s delivery includes Select SAG and ball mills, which are pre-engineered solutions within the Metso Plus portfolio that simplify equipment selection and ordering through standardisation, the company explains. The mills also enable faster delivery times, reduced project costs and streamlined execution, which is ideal for efficient mine restarts like Viscaria’s reopening, Metso added.
Featuring conservative design parameters and robust components suited to demanding applications, the Select mills deliver class-leading performance with exceptional efficiency, superior reliability, high availability and maximised productivity.
