South America: Caylloma Production Rate Increase

In 2022, Minera Bateas S.A.C requested SRK Peru to conduct a conceptual evaluation to increase the production rate of the Caylloma mine. Five scenarios were analyzed at a conceptual level, including mineral resource and mine planning issues.

Operational aspects were also analyzed, covering the capacity and distribution of the process plant, energy capacity, and the availability of mine and domestic water. It also considered auxiliary services such as ventilation, pumping, and drainage, along with personnel, the hydraulic fill plant, mine equipment, and transportation. Finally, the assessment addressed the capacity of surface components, as well as permits and legal and environmental restrictions.
