📋 Tender Overview
The public company Activos Mineros SAC (AMSAC) reported that at the end of 2023 it communicated to the General Directorate of Mining the completion of the mitigation activities at the Florencia Tucari mining unit, owned by the company Aruntani, executed within the framework of the order given by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem).
AMSAC's Operations Manager, Ysmael Ormeño, said that the mitigation actions were carried out in only two components in charge of the mining unit, such as the pit and deposit of waste and its expansion, which extend over an area of more than 220 hectares, thus complying with the optimized schedule presented by the public company and exposed at the time before the competent authorities.
"Among the activities carried out were the maintenance, adaptation, and replacement of concrete channels and geomembrane in more than 15 kilometers, which allows the water contaminated by the deforestation of the mining unit to be captured and conducted," he said.
Ormeno explained that within the framework of the order, contingency pools with a capacity of 5,400 cubic meters were also enabled that will later be joined to the treatment circuit of the Florencia Tucari mining unit, which will collect contaminated water from the southern zone of the components in charge.
"This will prevent these waters from flowing into the streams and basins, located downstream of the mining unit," he stressed.
Finally, the official specified that with the completion of the attenuation works carried out by AMSAC, the mining company Aruntani is in charge of connecting and operating the contingency pools in its Florencia Tucari unit.
