The mine will be operated open pit and produce between 40 000 and 50 000 TMF copper with an investment of U.S. $ 350 million.

* OYAMA: Another Oyama copper project in Junin, which has resources of 4.5 Mt@0.71% Cu and 0.68 oz Ag Eq / t. Volcano produce estimates that 7 and 9 000 TMF copper with an investment of U.S. $ 60 million.
