The contract is valued at about €25m ($27m) and is booked under Metso’s orders received in first quarter of this year.

Metso noted that the equipment delivery is expected take place during the first half of next year.

In September last year, Metso opened its first performance centre in Santiago, Chile, to boost its remote-monitoring capabilities for the mining industry.

The company provides equipment and services for the sustainable processing and flow of natural resources in the mining, recycling and processing industries.
