The Puquiacocha concentrator plant has an installed capacity of 1,000 MT / d and is located 4 km from the mine. It currently receives the ore in trucks and processes it to produce high quality zinc concentrates and copper and lead concentrates with high silver content.

The plant has a closed-circuit crushing process with two jaw crushers and two conical crushers; The milling process uses four ball mills and a bar mill to prepare the ore for the flotation process, where copper, lead and silver (bulk) are separated, leaving the zinc for final flotation. The bulk is then separated into copper / silver concentrate and lead / silver. The three products then pass through the thickeners and finally are filtered and dispatched to their final destination.

The copper concentrate that is obtained has a concentration of 24% with a silver law ranging from 80 to 100 oz / tms. It also contains As 4%, Sb 1.5%, Bi 0.45%. It is a complex concentrate with good commercial performance. The concentrated lead has a concentration of 66%, with silver between 70 and 85 oz / t, As 0.8%, Sb 0.4%, Bi 0.7%. The concentrated zinc contains 55% and 5 oz/t silver, It is in product that can be commercialized directly to the Chinese market, with As <0.2%, Cd <0.25%, Fe <6%, SiO2 <4%.

All our products are marketed to recognized companies in the sector, ensuring the proper handling of the concentrates until their processing in various refineries in the world, meeting the safety and environmental standards.
