Recently, MMG (ASX: 01208), a subsidiary of China Minmetals, has continuously improved its production processes, strengthened cross-departmental collaboration, and promoted technological innovation during the production ramp-up at its Kinsevere mine, completing the upgrade and replacement of 10,000 cathode plates and 7,000 anode plates in the electrowinning workshop.
The cathode and anode plates upgraded at the Kinsevere mine's electrowinning workshop this time all adopted domestic substitutes, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Among them, the anode plates are grid-type plates with independent intellectual property rights in China, which can further improve electrolyte circulation and current distribution.
The new equipment has enhanced the stability of electrowinning operations and current efficiency, elevating the mine's copper cathode product quality and energy efficiency to an industry-leading level.
