UPDATE OF
SALES AND ORDERS FOR ARCOPLATETM
Fortescue
Metals Group (FMG) has continued its preference for the use of ARCOPLATE in all their mining
operations with placement of an order for one million eight hundred thousand
dollars ($1,800,000) worth of product this week.
ARCOPLATE was used
predominately in the construction of their current mining operations in Northern
Western Australia (Cloudbreak mine); the value of product utilised in Cloudbreak
mine by FMG was $5.5 Million making total purchases of ARCOPLATE $7.3 Million by FMG
(www.fmgl.com.au)
Part of
this order is for their existing operation and the balance is for the start of
the fit out of their second mine which is currently under
construction.
Alloy
Steel has been advised it is preferred supplier for this second mine’s wear
plate requirements.
Following
a visit to Perth last week by a group of consultant engineers from Kuala Lumpur,
a significant order has been placed for the first major use of ARCOPLATE in
Malaysia.
The final
order value is expected to be approximately $630,000.
