Enhancement of mining process and installation of a ball mill at the Matagami Mine

Norda Stelo was involved in the project to increase the grinding capacity of the concentrator at the Matagami Mine. This engineering project included constructing new pile foundations for an additional mill, relocating and retrofitting the existing mill, modifying conveyors and building steel structures. The project also included electrical, mechanical and process control work.

Highlights

• EPCM (engineering, procurement, and construction management)
• 30% difference in ore hardness
• Intervention during shutdown
