Chile's Admiralty requests permit for Mariposa project
Chile's Admiralty Minerals, the local unit of Australia's Admiralty Resources, has filed an environmental impact assessment for the construction of the Mariposa iron ore project in Atacama region (III).
The US$70mn project entails construction of an open pit mine with projected annual output of 2Mt/y, according to documents submitted to regional environmental evaluation service SEA.
The company had originally submitted the project in December last year, but it was rejected by environmental authorities in January.

The project includes the processing of the ore at a magnetic recovery plant with a feed rate of 167,000t/m, producing some 64,260t of 65% iron ore concentrate per month. Annual output is expected to be 771,000t over a planned 18 years.
The iron ore concentrate will be transported for shipment to Punta Totoralillo port located near the town of Caldera.
If approved, work is expected to start in February 2018.
