Hindustan Copper Ltd looks to build a new Rs 400-crore concentrator plant with 3 million tonnes per annum capacity at Malanjkhand in Madhya Pradesh in the next two-three years as part of plans to triple its ore production capacity, a top company official said. The state-run company expects to start the construction work on the new facility next year. It has a 2.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) concentrator plant at Malanjkhand currently. A concentrator plant processes mined ore to separate valuable minerals from waste rock. The facility produces a concentrated product containing a higher proportion of desired minerals. The concentrated product is then sent to further processing stages, such as smelting or refining, to produce the final metal or mineral. In an interview with PTI, Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL) Chairman and Managing Director Sanjiv Kumar Singh said that state-run consultancy firm Mecon is preparing a tender document and technical design for the plant which will have a capacity of 3 MTPA. The construction of the plant, Singh said, is likely to begin next year. The company plans to fund the plant through internal resources.
