Cathodes Plant
On September of 2012, the Environmental Assessment Service of the Arica and Parinacota Region granted the Environmental Qualification Resolution (RCA) favorable for the construction of the Pampa Camarones Cathodes Plant.
It has been considered the treatment of approximately 60,000 tons per month of oxidized copper ore in the plant, which is designed to produce 8,400 tons of copper cathodes per year, which will be shipped through the port of the city of Arica, distant 80 kilometers from the site.
In its first stage, it has a crushing and agglomerate plant; then there is the heap leaching process; then, the solution goes to the solvent extraction (SX) phase and, finally, to the electro winning (EW) phase.
