2011
After years of activities in the fields and in the office, the first reconnaissance and exploration work began to carry out the existing geological studies in the sector.
2013
RCA (Environmental Qualification Resolution) is obtained to start the "Prospecting" stage corresponding to Phase I of the project.
2014 - 2015
Infill drilling (more specific) is developed to check the quality and quantity of ore.
2016 - 2017
Engineering and environmental studies begin with projection to the presentation of the Environmental Impact Statement (DIA), to start the mining prospecting work.
2018 - 2019
Once the RCA (Environmental Qualification Resolution) has been obtained, the Phase II Prospecting stage begins, with the construction of a tunnel and the final drilling, with a view to future mining exploitation.
In addition, complementary engineering and baseline studies are developed for the different environmental components that will provide technical and environmental support to the project.
2020
The Environmental Impact Study (EIA) corresponding to the Arqueros Mining Project is submitted to the SEA (Environmental Assessment Service) for its qualification and environmental approval.
2022
The Arqueros Mining Project obtains the Environmental Qualification Resolution (RCA), which qualifies the mining exploitation project as environmentally favorable, for the execution of the construction, operation and closure stages.
2023
We are currently in the preliminary process to start the early works, which are part of the construction stage that will last approximately 2 years.

HISTORY
Our project


Minera Arqueros corresponds to a mineral exploitation and treatment project, which includes the development of an underground mine, the construction of a concentrator plant, a thickened tailings deposit, which will allow the recovery of between 72% and 75% of the water used , for recirculate it in the process. In addition, it will include complementary works for the supply of water, energy and other services.
The Project is located in the Coquimbo Region, 72 km. from the city of La Serena, in the mining district of Condoriaco, being located between the communes of La Serena and Vicuña.
