Altiplano Commences Santa Beatriz Cu-Au-Fe Mine Development with Andes Core Mining Partnership.
Altiplano Metals partners with Andes Core Mining to ramp up development at the Santa Beatriz copper-gold-iron mine in Chile. A two-year agreement focuses on underground mine development, with operations starting in July and ore processing in September. Initial production targets are 3,000 tons per month, scaling to 5,000 tons within six months. This aims to maximize supply to Altiplano’s El Peñón processing facility. Development includes a 75m ramp to access the Santa Beatriz vein. Potential economic/technical risks exist due to the absence of a feasibility study.
