Case Log Outotec is good permanent customer in analyser sampling but

occasional with other applications We visited Outotec to promote sales targeting first to flotation and

sampling pumping List of actions:List of actions:

2006 February: Visit Larox Flowsys Seminar at Outotec Finland Some 30 participants Some 30 participants Product presentations, Larox Flowsys in Minerals Processing presentation Flotation group and Sampling (pumps) group invited as for further discussion

2006 March: Visit Flotation group More detailed meeting related to Larox Valves in Flotation We notice that we can add value by sizing service of control valvesy g

2006 March: Visit Sampling pumping they got interested and bought a LPP-D25 to be tested in a patented sample

Case Log

2006 June FLS Inc received a P O from Outotec Canada to for Gibraltar Mines flotation FLS Inc received a P.O. from Outotec Canada to. for Gibraltar Mines flotation

cells control valves (14 pcs. PVE600 and 4 pcs. PVE600)

2006 Julyy Outotec delivered flotation cells to Mondo Minerals, Finland. The last control

valves were excluded and the end-customer bought 9 pcs of Larox control valves and extra 10 pcs of shut-off valves for flotation (DN50-DN250)

2007 January: Visit Flotation group Outotec asked us to do it as easy as possible for them to end to Larox solution.

Together we created the material in their Global Engineering Databaseg g g Global one-stop contact person list Budgetary pricing for their project financing

This needs a quick look size selection chart Tailored questionnaire of process conditions Sizing to be done by Larox Flowsys Project quotation

Procedure: Outotec has Quick look-size selection chart and budget quotation for

their project pricing Outotec has a questionnaire and a list of global contactsq g Sales Services (Pekkas Team) will do the control valve sizing and make

project quotation together with the representative Outotec receives the control valve sizing reports and the quotationOutotec receives the control valve sizing reports and the quotation.

Mean while Outotec has been able to focus the saved recourses to their core business

Sami Grnstrand (Global Technology Manager, Flotation) introduced the Larox Flowsys material in their global product

d j t i ti i Mand project managers engineers meeting in May


Learning's and Results

Between the lines Outotec has told us that Dart-valves are not h i b i D l bi d h itheir core business Dart valves are big and thus expensive,

the sizing is difficult and actually they are not working too well Anyway, it will take time, maybe even one engineer generation, y y, , y g g ,

to learn-them-away from Dart valves. But when that day comes we will be there

There is no other way to co operation than face to face visits There is no other way to co-operation than face to face visits

We have delivered the flotation cell control valves to Gibraltar Mines, Canada Mondo Minerals, Finland

Al d d t H l Mi i h b ht 4 LPP65 Also, and end-customer, Hecla Mining has bought 4 pcs. LPP65 and 2 pcs. LPP-D25 as sampling transfer and analyser feed pumps after Outotecs recommendation


Learning's and Results

Today we have quoted for Outotecs flotation projects in Mirador, Equador Zhuzhou, China Suzdal, RussiaSuzdal, Russia SMI, Morocco

In each project we have, off course, asked other possible li ti f d it ft th i !applications for us and quite often there is!

Also, Outotec have a patent pending on the sample mixingAlso, Outotec have a patent pending on the sample mixing device. They were very satisfied with tests with LPP-D25 and they selected LPP-D as a standard.
