The proposed restart hinges on a shift in resource management, specifically the integration of leaching processes and a reliance on desalinated water. To facilitate this, the company plans to construct a pipeline spanning over 100 kilometers to transport treated wastewater from the municipality of Alto Hospicio directly to the mine. Should regulators approve the project, the move would extend the operational life of the asset by two decades. This strategy marks a calculated effort to maintain a footprint in Chile despite the previous closure of the site.
