Description:
The Dominga project consists of an open pit mine that will produce high grade iron concentrates and, as a by-product, copper concentrate. The mine is projected to produce 12 million tons per year of pellet iron concentrate and 150,000 tons per year of copper concentrate over a 22-year life.
The iron ore will be shipped via an underground pipeline to a shipping terminal to be built in the Totoralillo Norte sector. Instead, the copper concentrates will be transported by truck.
