Los
Bronces Division
Los Bronces is located in the Metropolitan Region, 65
kilometers from Santiago and at 3,500 meters above sea
level.
Los Bronces is an open pit copper and molybdenum mine.
The ore extracted is crushed and transported in a ore
slurry pipeline 56 km long to Las Tórtolas flotation plant,
where copper and molybdenum concentrates are produced.
The mine also produces cathodes.
In 2008 Los Bronces produced 235,792 tonnes of fine copper, including high purity
cathodes and copper concentrate, as well as 2,578 tonnes of molybdenum concentrate.
Los Bronces Division has approximately 1,712 workers, including company employees
and external contractors for operations and projects.
The “Los
Bronces Development Project” is currently in
progress. This project aims to boost our production capacity.
