Metso to supply core technology for the Pavlik gold ore processing plant in Russia

Pavlik Gold JSC has chosen Metso as the supplier for the key crushing and grinding equipment for its ore processing plant in Magadan, Russia. The Pavlik gold plant, which commenced its operations in 2015, currently produces approximately 7 tons of gold annually. With the new equipment, the plant expects to double its ore processing capacity and increase gold production.

Metso’s delivery consists of the primary crushing station with a Nordberg® C160™ jaw crusher, one SAG mill and two ball mills with a total installed power of more than 20MW. The order value of approximately EUR 25 million has been booked in Metso’s orders received in Q1, 2020. The delivery is expected to take place in the first half of 2021.

“We greatly value our long-term cooperation with Pavlik Gold, where Metso’s equipment has been in use already for several years,” says Alexey Muzychkin, SVP, Russia and CIS, Metso. “We are sure that the experience and technical competence of both companies in this type of projects will help us rapidly achieve the goals.”
