PSJ Cobre Mendocino Mining Project

planned

The PSJ Cobre Mendocino project is a metalliferous mining development in Mendoza, Argentina, focused on producing copper concentrate. It has secured political approval for its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) after 18 years of legislative scrutiny, allowing it to move toward the feasibility stage and eventual construction. The project involves an open-pit mine with a concentrator plant processing 10 Mt/year, producing around 40,000 tonnes per year of fine copper concentrate with a potential mine life of 16 to 27 years. The total investment prior to feasibility and detailed engineering is estimated at US$559 million.
