en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian mining company Vizsla Silver has awarded FLSmidth the core equipment supply contract for the Panuco gold-silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The contract covers the engineering and supply of major processing plant equipment, encompassing the complete process flowsheet identified in the project's 2025 feasibility study.

The agreement includes eight major equipment packages covering the crushing, grinding, thickening, counter-current decantation (CCD), Merrill-Crowe, and gold refining areas of the future Panuco processing plant. Equipment specifications have been determined for the initial Phase 1 operation (capacity of 3,300 tonnes per day) and the planned expansion to 4,000 tonnes per day in Phase 2. The contract structure and equipment configuration are designed to facilitate future modifications to accommodate the planned integration of the Napoleón mine in the fourth year of operation, minimizing impact on production continuity.

Engineering work will commence immediately, with a formal notice to proceed expected in the coming months to initiate equipment manufacturing. The parties have initially signed a limited authorization agreement to authorize early engineering and procurement activities while final contract terms continue to be finalized.

Simon Cmrlec, Director of Operations at Vizsla Silver, stated that awarding this significant equipment package to FLSmidth is a key milestone in the procurement process for the Panuco project. He emphasized that FLSmidth's equipment will support the design of the Phase 1 processing plant and the future Phase 2 expansion, while aligning with the project's expected investment budget.

Qasim Abrahams, President of the Product Business Line at FLSmidth, commented that the company is pleased to be selected as a key technology partner for Vizsla Silver's complete silver processing flowsheet. Leveraging its technology and service solutions covering the entire operational lifecycle, FLSmidth will help Vizsla Silver maximize silver recovery and production throughout the new operational cycle.
