Asset Report
El Volcan iron ore mine
Report summary
El Volcan is a small surface mine owned by ArcelorMittal located near the town of Rosario in Sonora state, Mexico. The mine is operated by contractors and supplies a concentrate product to ArcelorMittal's Lázaro Cardenas steel facility. In April 2019, the El Volcan mine was closed due to the depletion of its reserves. However, ArcelorMittal opted to continue operating its processing facilities with run-of-mine (ROM) from the San José mine, located 400 kilometres away. This represents one of the longest raw haul distances within our dataset and makes costs at the operation much more sensitive to changes in diesel prices than would be typical of other operations in the area.
