Details of Important Copper Mines in the World Annexure: 4 – XIX 1. Escondida Copper Mine, Chile The Escondida copper-gold-silver mine is located in the arid, northern Atacama Desert of Chile about 160km southeast the port of Antofagasta, at an elevation of 3,050m above sea level. The mine is a joint venture between BHP-Billiton (57.5%), Rio Tinto (30%), a Japanese consortium (10%) and the International Finance Corporation (2.5%). It came on-stream in late 1990 and its capacity has since been increased by phased expansions to the current level of 230,000t/d ore throughput. The mine employs around 2,200 people. Production at the mine was cut back during the period 2003 on account of the weak world market conditions for copper. The partners in the project decided to mine lower-grade ores while maintaining the concentrator throughput, thus reducing the impact on per-ton-treated costs. Output was subsequently ramped up again, and during 2004 the mine handled 377Mt of ore and waste, and processed 82.4Mt of sulphide ore grading 1.51% copper (up from 70.3Mt at 1.43% copper in 2003). During the year ending June 2006, the mine handled 368.3Mt of ore and waste and processed 87.7Mt of sulphide ore grading 1.61% copper. Total mill output was 1,207,100 tons. Payable copper production was 1.17Mt of copper, electrowon copper cathode output was 116,300 tons, payable gold in concentrate was 139,000oz and payable silver in concentrate was 5.9Moz. In 2007, the copper mine boosted output by 18.2% after producing 1.245 million tons of copper contained in concrete and 238,357 tonnes in cathodes. However, during the first nine months of 2008, Escondida experienced a 10.4% production rate compared to the same period a year ago. Geology and reserves Escondida is related geologically to three porphyry bodies intruded along the major Chilean west fissure fault system. Primary hydrothermal sulphide ore grades at between 0.2% and 1% copper. Subsequent weathering and uplifting created a barren, leached cap, up to 180m thick, over a high grade supergene enriched ore, both overlying the primary sulphides. Primary sulphide mineralisation includes pyrite, chalocopyrite and bornite, with covellite and chalcocite in the enriched zone. The combined proven and probable ore reserves of Escondida and Escondida Norte as at mid-2004 were: 2,018Mt of copper sulphide ore at 1.24% total copper; 1,701Mt of low-grade copper sulphide ore at 0.55% total copper; and 290Mt of copper oxide ore at 0.73% acid-soluble copper. Escondida’s proved and probable reserves are currently 3,900Mt, including the addition of 1,200Mt from the Escondida Norte project. Current mine operations are projected for 34 years. Contd….. 171
