PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Support Service for the preparation of documentation according to Codelco’s Capital Investment System in a context of operational continuity for the Chuquicamata Underground Mine Project.

Chuquicamata Underground Mine is a structural and strategic CODELCO project which consists of the transformation of the extraction pit into an underground operation, allowing for the sustainable exploitation of mining resources found underneath the current deposit.

The Project includes exploitation by means of macro blocks, with the ‘block caving’ extraction process and a production of 140,000 tpd of ore, which will contribute 320,000 tonnes of fine copper and 16,000 tonnes of fine molybdenum a year.
