Corani is a major silver, lead, and zinc mining development comprising three open-pit exploitable deposits. It stands out as one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in the world, covering an extensive area of 5,180 hectares. This project represents a significant mining development opportunity in Peru, with the potential to become a benchmark operation in global silver production.
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:
- Geotechnical studies for mining infrastructure: Development of geotechnical studies for processing plants and mining infrastructure, including foundation design, stability analyses, and ground condition assessments.
- Drilling supervision and hydrogeological studies: Supervision of drilling and hydrogeological testing for the characterization of tailings dams, waste dumps, and quarries.
- Hydrological and hydrogeological monitoring: Hydrological and hydrogeological monitoring, including water quality analysis.
- Biological monitoring: Biological monitoring with seasonal analysis of flora and fauna.
- Geomechanical characterization of rock mass: Evaluation and geomechanical logging of drillholes using specialized techniques for rock mass characterization.
- Environmental baseline and soil studies: Preparation of environmental baseline studies and soil assessments in accordance with current regulations.
- Road and mining access studies: Development of feasibility and pre-investment studies for road projects and mining access, including geometric design and comprehensive analysis.
- Engineering updates: Updating engineering across its different stages (conceptual, basic, and detailed) for mining projects and associated infrastructure.
- Design of mining and water management components: Design of pits, waste dumps, water dams, and water management systems, integrating technical criteria for efficient and safe operations.
