Copper and gold concentrate, from rock to shipment
We are a Chilean producer running the full chain: we mine the ore at our own site in El Salado, process it at our own plant in Copiapó, and market the resulting concentrate.
One chain, under one operator
We control all three stages. That means we can account for the traceability of the entire lot: which face the ore came from, how it was processed and what was shipped.
Mine
Hard-rock ore extraction at our own site in El Salado, Atacama Region, Chile.
Processing plant
The ore is processed at our own plant in Copiapó, where the concentrate is produced.
Concentrate
Copper and gold concentrate is the product we market.
The product
Copper and gold concentrate produced at our own plant. Lot-by-lot quality data is shared with qualified buyers, with sampling and assay by an independent inspection company.

For smelters
Today our concentrate reaches overseas smelters through traders. We are opening direct sales, without that intermediary.
What we offer
Own, continuous production from a single mine and a single plant: the same origin, the same process and the same counterparty on every shipment.
What we are looking for
A direct offtake relationship with the smelter, with agreed sampling and assay terms and commercial conditions negotiated between the two parties.
If you are a smelter or refinery interested in evaluating our concentrate, get in touch and we will share the technical datasheet and availability under a confidentiality agreement.
