Yandong copper concentrator completes feed trial ahead of production start
Hami reports a completed process trial on 19 October, with defect correction, optimisation and training still ahead.
The story explained
A Hami government report dated 19 October says Yandong’s copper concentrator completed an integrated feed trial, linking raw-material input to product output. It describes the trial as recent without identifying an exact event date.
Individual equipment trials were completed in June 2026. Subsequent work addressed material handling, intelligent controls and process parameters before testing the integrated line. Construction began on 9 April 2025.
Remaining work includes defect correction, process optimisation, operator training and emergency preparation. Mining and tailings facilities are also in their finishing stages. The report supports a commissioning milestone, not established full production or a new equipment award.
Why it matters
Integrated operation makes slurry-pump, valve and control-loop compatibility more visible under actual process conditions.
