Project Overview

Los Bronces continues to mitigate water supply challenges by implementing technical solutions that promote water efficiency and water resilience. Water is transported to the operation via a 56-kilometre pipeline from the Las Tórtolas tailings dam using a special water-recycling system. The water recycling system at the Los Bronces operation was a significant investment and allows the site to recycle more than 66% of available water. Other reduction initiatives include reduci…

The water recycling system at the Los Bronces operation was a significant investment and allows the site to recycle more than 66% of available water. Other reduction initiatives include reducing the evaporation in tailing dams as well as improving tailings deposition.
