Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension Project is designed to prolong the mine's lifespan by upgrading its current infrastructure. This initiative supports the increasing demand for copper fueled by the shift toward a low-carbon economy. The project is anticipated to yield roughly 1.95 million additional tons of copper by processing around 900 million extra tons of ore.
The mine's current operations rely heavily on GIW MDX, GIW LSA, and GIW LCC slurry pumps. For the MLE project, KSB GIW is supplying a range of mill discharge pumps, SAG underflow pumps, tailings pumps, froth pumps, and various in-plant and process pumps.
“KSB GIW is proud to announce that, in addition to our already extensive installed base at Highland Valley Copper Mine, we have secured a significant new order for GIW slurry pumps to power the HVC MLE project,” said Gary Moore, Mining Manager at KSB GIW. “This contract further solidifies KSB GIW’s role as a preferred partner for HVC, and our continued commitment to innovating our products, services, and materials to maximize value for the mine.”
“KSB GIW has a longstanding history of providing best-in-class GIW slurry pumps and continual, reliable after-service support to HVC and their ongoing mine operations,” said Josh Foster, Sales Engineer at KSB GIW. “By combining new solutions with reutilization efforts, KSB GIW has established itself as a trusted provider of high-performance slurry pumps offering the best total cost of ownership. As a trusted partner to HVC, the continued usage of our pumps for the HVC MLE Project will once again allow us to demonstrate our commitment to our customers’ successful ongoing operations.”
