Southern Copper Peru’s superintendent of environmental services, Eduardo Talavera, said over the weekend that water use would not increase at the Cuajone copper mine as a result of its expansion project.at the Institute of Mining Engineers of Peru, Talavera also noted that the project’s water use will be efficiently managed by applying technical procedures for water restitution and recycling.
He also said that Cuajone will employ mobile misting cannons, which use catalyzed water and are transported by a large truck, and whose function is to suppress dust and reduce emissions of particulate matter in areas such as the waste rock deposit, the intermediate piles, the primary crusher and the conveyor belt.
Located in the southern Moquegua region, Cuajone is Southern Copper’s second-largest mine in Peru. Its $850-million expansion project, yet to be started, would increase the capacity of the concentrator plant to 120,000 tonnes per day from the current 85,000 tonnes per day, relying on estimated resources of 2,000 million tonnes of ore.Southern Copper, part of Grupo Mexico, is one of the biggest copper companies by mineral reserves.
