Reko Diq Awards €70 Million in Equipment Contracts to Finnish Company

Reko Diq Mining Company has awarded Finland-based Metso the remaining major equipment contracts for its copper-gold project in Pakistan. Metso said on Monday that the total value of the signed contracts is approximately €70 million. Of this, €40 million was recorded in the company’s minerals segment order intake for the third quarter of 2025, while €30 million was booked in the fourth quarter. Under the contracts, Metso will supply a complete beneficiation and dewatering package for the project. This includes a flotation circuit combining TankCell mechanical flotation technology for the rougher and cleaner scavenger stages with Concorde Cell technology for ultrafine particle cleaning. Metso said the configuration is designed to improve metallurgical performance while reducing capital and operating costs in large, low-grade ore operations. The Concorde Cell units will operate alongside HIGmill regrinding mills ordered for the project in 2024. The scope of supply also includes four Larox PF60 filters for concentrate filtration, slurry pumps for primary and secondary filtration stages, and five high-rate thickeners equipped with Reactorwell technology. In addition, Metso will deliver a mill reline machine with automated safety features to service the Premier ball mills previously ordered for the project. The Reko Diq mine is owned 50 percent by Canada’s Barrick Gold, with the remaining 50 percent held by the governments of Pakistan and Balochistan.
