Veal Mining Prospecting Project

Description: Ternera Mining Prospection Project Prospecting and exploration The Project corresponds to a mining prospecting work, which aims to minimize geological uncertainties, through the execution of approximately 250 drilling platforms of 15 x 15 m each, in addition to a network of internal roads with a total length of 10 km, and a work facility of approximately 1,500 m2. Due to the current geological uncertainty, it is not possible to provide the exact location of each of the drilling platforms, nor of the internal roads, for which reason this Environmental Impact Statement considers the entire 210-ha polygon. as a maximum intervention area, as established in the last paragraph of article 19 of Supreme Decree No. 40/13 RSEIA "In the event that it is not possible to define the detailed location of a part, work or action of the Project or Activity, the The owner must define a polygon indicating the maximum intervention area and assess the impacts considering the most unfavorable environmental condition”. The Project is located in the Coastal Mountain Range, 130 km northwest of the City of Copiapó, Atacama Region, at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level, in the Caldera Commune, Atacama Region. The objective of the Project is to develop a prospecting mining company, in order to dimension the mineral resource with a higher level of certainty, with the purpose of carrying out a technical-economic evaluation, aimed at determining the feasibility of exploiting said mineral resources, through the execution of 250 drillings in an area of 210 ha, a work facility in the drilling area and a road network of approximately 10 km in length, to meet the needs of the Project.
