Tampere, Finland – Metso will supply Northland Resources minerals processing equipment and basic engineering for the two process lines at Northland‘s new Kaunisvaara iron ore project in Sweden, exploiting Tapuli and Sahavaara iron ore deposits.
In addition, the parties have also signed a letter of intent covering all works related to the process plant system in Kaunisvaara iron ore project excluding building structure and related civil works. The order of the minerals processing equipment includes a primary gyratory crusher, an autogenous grinding mill and three vertical grinding mills.
