Analysis and selection of the best alternatives of mining exploitation, minerals processing and infrastructure, considering two production scenarios shaped on the basis of a concentration plant and a hydrometallurgy facility. JRI developed the designs for mining exploitation and identified the option to exploit the most mineral resources, subject to both associated costs and profits, as well as to constraints defined by the customer, related to –among other things– the facts that the pit be located over 100 meters from the Inca de Oro cemetery and that only the Codelco mining and surface property can be used.
