Asset Report
Colquijirca (El Brocal) zinc mine
Report summary
El Brocal processes Pb-Zn ore from its Tajo Norte open pit mine and copper ore with the high arsenic from Marcapunta Norte underground mine. There are two processing plants. Plant 1 with a capacity of 7kt/d and Plant 2 with a capacity of 11kt/d. Full milling capacity of 18kt/d was achieved on 4Q 2015. In 2021 El Brocal was facing medium/long term challenges at both the lead-zinc circuit and the copper circuit. The lead-zinc circuit faces the limited amount of Pb-Zn reserves. The Tajo Norte pit was subsequently put under care and maintenance from Q4 2023. After this, the Pb-Zn plant (Plant 2) is to process only copper ore (actually becoming a copper mine) from the southern end of the pit and from Marcapunta.
