Pampa de Cobre Mine, owned by Quilla Resources, has confirmed an investment of over US$1.418 billion for the revitalization of the My Chapi, located in the region of MoqueguaThis project aims to restart mine operations, which have been inactive since 2012, with reactivation projected for the first half of 2026. This investment is part of a broader effort to modernize Peruvian mining and improve operational efficiency, in line with trends that will be shaping the future of the industry, as will be reflected in EXPOCOBRE 2026.

The investment will be allocated to key projects, such as tailings reprocessing and the integration of leaching platforms. These projects aim to improve the mine's operational efficiency and align with broader efforts to drive sustainable mining in the country. Furthermore, the First Sustaining Technical Report (ITS) submitted to the National Service of Environmental Certification for Sustainable Investments (The Senate) is a fundamental step to ensure that the modifications are environmentally viable.

Reactivation Projects: Optimization of Gravel and Leaching

One of the main revitalization projects is the reprocessing of tailings, with an investment of US$1.412 million. This process aims to recover residual copper and optimize the ore’s life cycle. The project is designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce waste, which is in line with global trends toward more efficient and responsible mining. Optimizing these processes will be a key focus in the near future, with EXPOCOBRE 2026 serving as a platform to explore best practices in this field.

The integration of the leaching platforms between PAD I and PAD II is another important project that will maximize ore processing capacity and reduce idle space. With this integration, mine operations will be more efficient and simpler, reflecting the drive towards mining modernization, a topic that will be at the center of discussions in the near future at industry events.

Financial Details and Execution Timelines

The total estimated investment in the project amounts to US$18.1 million, distributed across three key areas: reprocessing of crushed stone (US$1.2 million), resuming operations at PAD I (US$2.5 million), and the integration of PAD I and PAD II (US$14.3 million).

The execution period is estimated at 19 quarters, nearly five years, during which the works will be gradually implemented and operations will restart. This effort aims not only to reactivate copper production in the My Chapi, but also to consolidate its role in the global mining industry. These projects, in line with sustainability and efficiency trends, will be reflected in the dynamics that mark the future of mining, with EXPOCOBRE 2026 as one of the key events that will highlight these transformations.

EXPOCOBRE 2026: The Future of Peruvian Mining

EXPOCOBRE 2026 is shaping up to be a key event for the Peruvian mining sector, where advances in technology and sustainability will be showcased. The reactivation of strategic projects such as the Pampa de Cobre Mine In the Chapi mine, it reflects the trends of modernization and efficiency that will be at the center of the agenda. This event will bring together industry leaders to share experiences, discuss the future of responsible mining, and explore new investment opportunities.

EXPOCOBRE 2026 It will not only be a meeting point to learn about technological innovations, but also a crucial space to showcase how Peruvian mining is adapting to global challenges in sustainability and productivity.
