Comprehensive diagnosis and advice on the optimisation of the final closure and post-closure processes implemented at the Sipán Mining Unit, Compañía Minera Ares S.A.C. – Perú

The characterisation, diagnosis of materials and design of sustainable treatment alternatives with green-technologies
for the optimisation of the final closure and post-closure processes were carried out, minimising treatment costs and
waste generated.

  • The following activities were carried out:
  • Biogeochemical characterisation of the materials present at the Sipán MU;
  • Identification of potentially toxic elements that predominate in drainage and sub-drainage water, soil and vegetation
    cover;
  • Evaluation and design of specific recovery alternatives (green technologies);
  • Economic feasibility analysis of each proposed remediation alternative.
