FLSmidth Minerals wins large order for ferronickel kilns and dryers in Brazil

FLSmidth Minerals has been awarded a contract for over 72m euro (approximately
DKK 530m) by Anglo American Brasil (AABR) to supply two rotary kilns and rotary
dryers to the pyro-metallurgical facility for the production of ferronickel at
the Barro Alto laterite deposits located in the Goias state of Brazil, 175
kilometres northeast of Brazil's capital, Brasilia. 

The project will be carried out in cooperation between FLSmidth Minerals'
Brazilian office and the American technology centre. 

The contract includes two production lines each comprised of a complete rotary
dryer/agglomerator system and a rotary kiln system. In addition, several
FLSmidth product companies will be participating in the project, including
FLSmidth Airtech with electrostatic precipitators and bag filters and Pfister
with coal distribution systems. 

AABR has significant technological expertise in the area of the
dryer/agglomeration. The project will therefore be a co-development between
AARB and FLSmidth Minerals in the optimization of the dryer/agglomeration
process. The production facility will process lateritic ores containing ~1.8%
nickel into ferronickel of 35 % nickel. 

"This project confirms FLSmidth Minerals' leadership in the ferronickel
industry as well as the FLSmidth Group's overall leadership in pyro technology
and its ability to supply complete rotary kiln systems to the global cement and
minerals industry," Mr Jørgen Huno Rasmussen, Group CEO says. 

The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until the
facility is commissioned in 2009.
