Laboratory test work was conducted by Metso Outotec to aid thickener selection.

“We are very excited to work on the West Musgrave Project with OZ Minerals. We were able to align with the project’s key value drivers at an early stage and provide expert technical support. OZ Minerals has selected leading class Planet Positive process equipment for their nickel and copper production process, and they will also be able to benefit from our extensive aftermarket capabilities and footprint in Western Australia,” says Kai Rönnberg, Vice President, Minerals Sales – Asia Pacific at Metso Outotec.
