After the 25,000 t/d SICOMINES copper-cobalt project, SLon starts a new journey forward to DR Congo, which is both an opportunity and challenge.

      CMOC, as the pioneer of China mining industry, has led and invested lots of overseas projects, whose business covers molybdenum ores, tungsten ores, copper and gold ores, colombite ores, phosphorite, copper-cobalt ores and etc. Its TFM copper-cobalt belt is one of the deposits with the largest reserves and highest grade copper and cobalt resources in the world. The annual processing capacity reaches about 12.4 million tons and total project investment exceeds $2.6 billion.

      SLon is highly honored to be part of the world-class project, which interests every people in the mining industry. This is not just a recognition of us, but also shows the determination of “Made-in-China” to go global. Predictably, SLon will expand its presence and walk further forward in the direction of internationalization.

      However, in face of the severe epidemic, the coordination of supply, personnel and logistics is more difficult than ever before. Besides, with a mass of purchase orders, heavy production tasks and high manufacturing standards, the production capacity tends to saturate. Even so, we have never flinched and risen up to challenges. In order to deliver on time and fulfill the quality requirements, the whole staff have been involved in it and completed the production, assembly, debugging, packaging, quality inspection and transportation of ten large-scale machines including five SLon-3000 WHIMS and five SCTN-1245 LIMS. It takes one hundred days to work wonders, which accumulates sufficient experience for the following major projects.

      For the moment, the market generally reacts positively to cobalt resources. A new energy war has been on. SLon, one of the few enterprises with copper-cobalt ore dressing experience and industrial applications in china, will take an more active part and get ahead of it in the future.
