The $1.2 billion expansion, which saw throughput rise from 60,000 t/d to 120,000 t/d, involved the addition of two new thyssenkrupp-made ball mills, with ABB providing the gearless mill drives (GMD) technology. This came on top of the 33 mills the miner already had up and running as part of the existing 60,000 t/d plant at the operation.

Unlike more traditional ring-geared mill drives – where a ring-shaped gear encircles the mill and drives it through one or two pinions followed by conventional motors – GMDs work by mounting rotor poles directly to the mill body and surrounding it with the stator ring, meaning the mill itself is incorporated into the motor.
