Condestable

Condestable is an underground deposit focused on the extraction of copper, gold, and silver. The operation is strategically located in the province of Cañete, in the Lima Region, Peru, just 3 km from the Pan-American Highway, at a relatively low elevation of 100–400 m a.s.l., which facilitates logistics and operations compared to other Andean mining projects.

In this context, a series of specialized services and studies were carried out to ensure the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operation, as detailed below:

• Tailings storage facility inspection and assessment: Technical inspection and evaluation of tailings storage facilities, including field surveys and report preparation to support decision-making.
• Tailings optimization and expansion: Optimization and expansion of tailings storage facilities aimed at maximizing capacity, improving stability, and extending the operational life.
• Dam breach simulation and risk analysis: Development of dam breach simulation studies and associated risk analyses, considering different operational scenarios.
• Evaluation of tailings disposal alternatives: Assessment and selection of alternatives for the location and configuration of tailings storage facilities, focusing on technical and operational feasibility.
• Environmental permitting management: Preparation and modification of environmental instruments, including Environmental Impact Statements and documentation for operating permits.
• Tailings engineering and associated works: Development of conceptual, basic, and detailed engineering for tailings storage facilities, filtration plants, and associated infrastructure.
• Closure plans and stability assessments: Update of mine closure plans and physical and chemical stability studies, ensuring regulatory compliance and long-term sustainability.
• Construction supervision and control: Supervision, quality control (QA/QC), and technical support during construction and operation, including facility expansions and process optimization.
