La Cenizas executives participate in the technical table with communal and sectoral authorities to discuss control and mitigation measures to prevent future landslides in the confinement wall and paste deposit at their Cabildo operations.
A tailings dam belonging to copper miner Las Cenizas in central Chile began overflowing overnight on June 13 due to heavy rains and put nearby water sources, including the La Ligua river at risk of “adverse effects,” Chile’s environmental SMA agency said in a statement. Chile is the world’s largest copper producer and Cabildo is an agricultural area that is known for producing avocados and many residents are worried about the impact the overflow will have on their livelihood.
“I recognize there were some errors in our management,” Andres Monarde, operations manager for Las Cenizas, told residents on Saturday. “But let’s take a step forward together.”
