Boddington Mine ()

Project description mageba scope Highlights & facts Boddingtion is one of Australia’s largest mageba received the order for the supply producing gold mines and located within of a total of 10 RESTON®SPHERICAL mageba products: the Saddleback Greenstone Belt (SGB), bearings of type KE-1. This bearing type Type: RESTON®SPHERICAL an Archaen structure in the southwestern allows sliding movements along one bearings . The exploration strategy horizontal axis, and resists forces in the Features: Type KE-1 with was to identify the resource potential of perpendicular direction. ROBO®SLIDE Installation: 2008 the remainder of the greenstone belt, All bearings are equipped with with the emphasis on high-grade lode- ROBO®SLIDE, a high-grade sliding material Structure: type deposits. that allows very high contact pressure and City: Boddington The mine produces gold and copper has an excellent abrasion resistance which Country: Australia concentrate, and began its commercial enhances the durability of the overall Type: Surface gold mine production in 2009. As of December 2015, bearing tremendously. Built: 1987, Expansion in 2009 the annual gold production had reached The bearings are used to ensure the Owner: Newmont 794’000 ounces and the annual copper Corporation controlled transfer of the forces in the Engineer: Granor Rubber & production had peaked to 79 million mine’s pipe racks. These pipe racks Engineering pounds. It is operated by Newmont Mining transport the extractions gained from the Corporation, founded in 1921 and one of exploration works in the mine and thus the world’s leading gold producers. require proper facilitation of cumulative sliding movements.

The Boddingtion Gold Mine is located about Illustration of a RESTON®SPHERICAL bearing of type 130 km south-east of Perth in KE showing its main components The finished bearings ready for dispatch
