Los Pelambres Desalination Plant

The Complementary Infrastructure Project includes the construction of a backup desalination plant in case of drought and an increase in milling capacity to cope with the increased hardness of the minerals. This will increase Los Pelambres Mine production by an average of 60 thousand tons per year.
