Marcelo Mejibar, Mine Operations Superintendent, chooses to work with Austin because it’s a highly reliable company in terms of products, human and professional resources.
Marcelo says, “I highlight Austin´s responsiveness and responsibility in terms of safety and commitment with our standards.”
The Chinchillas mine (in the Jujuy Province, Argentina) is a silver-lead-zinc deposit, which achieved commercial production in December 2018. It is expected to supply ore to the Pirquitas processing facilities over an 8-year active mining period. Open pit mining is conducted using conventional drill, blast, truck and loading operations. The ore is transported 40 kilometers to the Pirquitas processing facilities, which produce a silver-lead concentrate and a zinc concentrate that are shipped to international smelters.
The Pirquitas processing facilities have been in commercial production since 2009, processing ore from the San Miguel open pit, which concluded mining activities in January 2017 and currently hosts the tailings deposit facility. https://www.ssrmining.com/operations/production/puna/
