Infrastructure at the site, including mine planning and site offices has been set up and fully operational.
The mine’s 65km power-line, currently under progression, will be connected to the Peruvian power grid prior to commissioning.
Construction of the 2,000t a day processing plant is under the supervision of Merit Consultants International.
The company expects about 95,000t of mineralized material grading at 5.61% Zn, 0.65% Pb and 1.65oz/t Ag to be stockpiled and available for mill commissioning.
Lima-based construction firm Cempro Tech has built the Santander processing plant for the Santander project development team, which is a joint development between Trevali and Glencore International.
