Cuajone copper mine

Cuajone operates an open pit mine and a conventional 90 kt/d ore copper-moly concentrator. The concentrate production is treated in the Ilo smelter and anodes are treated in the Ilo refinery. As part of our methodology the mine-mill analysis is done in an integrated way. Oxide ore mined at Cuajone is crushed and leached with the PLS generated pumped to the SxEw plant at Toquepala.
