Metso has secured an order from Fortress Minerals Inc. to supply a comprehensive suite of minerals processing equipment for two strategic projects in Malaysia: the Bukit Besi iron ore project and the Mengapur copper project. The order value, which is not disclosed, is booked in Minerals’ 3Q25 orders received.
At the core of the order are two Metso HRCTM High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) – a key technology for energy-efficient comminution. The delivery also includes a Vertimill® vertical grinding mill, a Stirred Media Detritor (SMD), TankCell® flotation cells, vibrating screens, MD, and slurry pumps, and MHCTM hydrocyclones. Most of the equipment in the delivery scope is part of the Metso Plus portfolio.
“This investment reflects the conclusion of a rigorous nine-month study into energy efficiency, availability, and process consistency. In the end, we placed our trust in Metso for their deep technical expertise, reliable product performance, and the strong support framework that assures long-term success for our operations”, said Mr. Ng Mun Fey, COO and Project Leader at Fortress Minerals.
“This order is a great example of how our customers are embracing more energy-efficient and sustainable flowsheets”, said Kai Rönnberg, Vice President, Minerals Sales, Asia Pacific at Metso. “We are proud to support Fortress Minerals with advanced technologies that not only improve performance but also align with their long-term environmental goals.”
