Modification reception and shipment of bulk minerals

Description: The project under evaluation considers two main axes. The first one is related to the loading, road transport, reception, storage and shipment of iron minerals from the Pellet Plant facilities, owned by Compañía Minera del Pacífico, as well as the reception, storage and shipment of pre-concentrated iron transported to the port by clients who have the proper authorizations. For this, necessary facilities will be enabled in the port, among which an encapsulated belt system that combines a fixed and a mobile section stands out, and a mobile loader with retractable sleeve that allows carrying out the iron ore shipping activity and, at at the same time, be removed from the port to develop the reception and shipment of other materials in accordance with current environmental authorizations. The shipment projected in this declaration may be made in any of the two sites of the port. On the other hand, the second axis is related to the construction of new support facilities for the correct operation of Puerto Las Losas and the modification of infrastructure approved by RCA No. 5/2015 that has not yet been built. Objective The objective of the Project is the construction and operation of the facilities, as well as the execution of the activities necessary for loading, ground transportation, reception, storage and shipment of iron minerals, coming from the Pellet Plant or from another producer that has due authorizations.
