Zinifex
Limited is one of the world's largest zinc
and lead mining companies. The company's Century Mine, located in
Queensland, Australia, produces approximately 500,000 tons of concentrates a year. The Century Mine required a wet end conversion to
optimize production and selected GIW for the project.

An iron-ore mine in
northern Minnesota is benefiting from both a new slurry diverter design
and GIW's strong commitment to customer service. |

After aggressively
targeting the Latin American slurry pump market in 2007, the GIW team
reported sales of more than 100 slurry pumps in 2008. In plain numbers, this
translates into more than 1.3 million pounds in parts and 350,000 pounds
in bare shaft pumps. |

The mining
industry is one of the largest industries in South America. For many
countries it represents a high economic importance — most of the mining
production for these countries is exported at a large scale. The
economic factors are often encouraging innovation and improving the
technology and the equipment involved in the process. |

Erdenet Mining Corporation (EMC or Erdenet) is one of the largest ore mining and ore processing factories in Asia. Mining is Mongolia’s most important industry. In January 2007, KSB’s subsidiary GIW supplied one of the largest slurry pumps ever installed in a copper mine.

A copper mine in Indonesia, one of the largest and most remote in the
world, was experiencing rapid parts wear. The mine is located at
approximately 12,000 feet of elevation in a tropical forest that
receives 300 inches of rain a year. The mill throughput and ore
conditions create one of the most demanding mining applications in the
world. The duty becomes even more difficult as the mill throughput and
quantity of solids passing through the pumps increase over time. |

Mining is Mongolia’s most important industry. In January 2007, GIW
supplied one of the largest slurry pumps ever installed in a copper
mine. The extremely robust pump was built with state-of-the-art KSB
technology for the Erdenet mine in order to increase production output
in the medium and long term. |
