Description:
The project aims to continue exploiting the mineral resources of the DMH deposit by extending its operation for 30 years. This operation is projected to take place approximately between 2025 and 2054. This involves increasing the total mine movement from 500 to 550 ktpd as an annual average, and the processing rate of ore from 57 to 65 ktpd as an annual daily average, along with an increase in copper concentrate production from the current 700,000 t/year to 830,000 t/year.
