Xstrata Copper will require an investment of 4.230 million and is located in the Apurimac region. In both works Antapaccay project in Cusco, with an advance of 32%.

Copper production Bambas project would begin in the second half of 2014, said executive vice president of Xstrata Copper, Joseph Maroun.

“We have come with all critical permits and manage the final permits to start construction work related to operations,” said Maroun, during the Top Mining in Peru Mining Convention (Perumin).

He added that the mega project already has an advance of 40 percent in the plan to relocate 450 families from the community of New Fuerabamba, as it has begun construction of a neighborhood to be located near the town of Chalhuahuacho in Apurimac.

Meanwhile, work on the project Antapaccay in Cusco, with an advance of 32 percent and keeping the estimated investment of 1.473 million dollars.

“I was hired over 1,350 workers in the area and hope to reach a peak of 4,500 in the coming months,” adelanto.Mas details of the projects span in Peru, Chile and Argentina offer elsewhere in this magazine.

Santa Cruz said that this does not attempt to “counterbalance the authority and regulators,” but instead “seek a meeting, a commonality of interests”, since “the company is more interested in that there is no risk. We understand the concern of the regional president. We always believe that some uncertainty exists any mining project. “

Santa Cruz said the source of the confusion lies in the recommendation made in the environmental study, which was asked to perform an additional study to be used as a basis for monitoring of water in the production stage of the mine to be held on year 2014.

However, he said that the mining and accepted this recommendation and is conducting a supplementary study should be completed in March 2012. “We will meet and indeed, we think this is appropriate,” he said. He said that the trouble comes from the expectations of some communities that are not part of the zone of influence. “Obviously they want to be part of the benefit, but even we clarify that the investment made.”

Santa Cruz added that unlike the south, in Cajamarca is a positive water balance. That is, there is more rain than evaporation, so the 1.3 million cubic meters of water used Minas Conga not generate greater impact.”

Despite this stated that “these bodies of water” will be replaced by water reservoirs which together will add 3.2 million cubic meters. That is more than twice as well as these bring an additional benefit: to be regulating water use in watersheds. “In that sense, not only have more water but we can use all year round,” he said.

BENEFITS TO GENERATE THE CONGA PROJECT

In addition to bringing more water to the region, Santa Cruz Conga explained that should produce around 300 million dollars in taxes and generate about 8 000 jobs and increased economic activity in the area.

LOOKING FOR LEAD WITH VENA Macusani URANIUM IN 2015

Macusani uranium project operating Vena and Cameco Resources, through the company Minergia, could become the first uranium project in Peru to reach the level of feasibility. This was revealed by Juan Vegarra, Chairman of Vena.

Vegarra said in October they know the new resource estimate of Macusani currently has 22 million pounds of U308 (uranium oxide) in resources and could grow third which will allow the start of a feasibility study.

He noted that if the pre-feasibility study is favorable Macusani and give green light to the study of fatibilidad, the decision to build the uranium plant would be taken before 2015. From 2007 through 2010, the vein-Cameco joint venture has invested $ 10 million in the exploration of Macusani and for 2011 there is an additional $ 2.7 mllones. The project covers 4,900 hectares on the plateau of Macusani Carabaya province in Puno.

Votorantim Metais Brazilian mining exploration project led by zinc with 5 projects: Bongara, Puangjanca, Shalipayco and Cajamarquilla zinc refinery. To this is added the Hilarion zinc project that develops its subsidiary Minera Milpo.

For its part, Brocal the project operates San Gregorio, in Pasco, which is considered the largest zinc project in Peru and has 68.9 Mt@8.06% Zn., 2.36% Pb and 0.44 oz / t Ag

PROJECT FOCUSES AMAZON

❚ Bongará province in the Amazon region, has become the focus of exploration for zinc 3 projects. The Junior Rio Cristal begin an intensive drilling plan your Charlotte Bongara project in the district of Florida.
