Outotec has agreed with Southern Peru Copper Corporation (SPCC) for
the delivery of a copper solvent extraction and electrowinning plant
for SPCC's Tía María project in Arequipa region in Peru. The contract

2010, Tía María is expected to produce 120,000 tons of copper
cathodes per year."This project is the largest solvent extraction and electrowinning
project in Outotec's history and it further strengthens our position
as a market leader in copper solvent extraction technologies," says
Tapani Järvinen, CEO of Outotec.
