洛尔内克斯(Lornex)矿在其未进行大规模扩建以前就已经是加拿大最大的矿山之一。投资1.6亿加元的两年扩建工程已按期完成。扩建后,选厂从原来的日处理4.8万吨增加到8万吨。这个选厂使用着当今世界上同种类型磨机中最大的磨机,它使用一台额定功率为12500马力的34英尺×16英尺的 Domi-nion 工程公司造的半自磨机。 The Lornex mine was already one of the largest mines in Canada until it was extensively expanded. The two-year expansion project of 160 million Canadian dollars has been completed on schedule. After the expansion, the processing plant increased from 48,000 tons to 80,000 tons. The mill uses the largest of its kind in the world, using a 34,000-ft. X 16-foot Domi-nion Engineering semi-auto mill with a capacity of 12,500 horsepower.
