Sandvik expects to deliver two autonomous underground loaders to Chilean copper miner Sociedad Punta del Cobre (Pucobre) this year and next. Pucobre’s operations are centred in northern Chile’s Atacama region.
The circa-US$9 million order for loaders continues the expansion of Sandvik’s autonomous and electric mining machine backlog.
Sandvik said Pucobre’s LH621i loaders would be equipped with its AutoMine Multi-Lite system.
