Summary:

Located in the Huaron mining district, Chungar encompasses the Islay and Animon mines. The mineralization in Islay comprises a breccia-type fissure fill, mainly with silver mineralization, with subordinated lead and zinc, Animon is a hydrothermal polymetallic deposit consisting of mineralized structures probably related to Miocene aged monzonite dykes principally within, but not confined to the Huaron anticline.

Animon Mine in Peru's Huaron mining district is hydrothermal polymetallic deposit (hosting silver, lead, zinc, and copper) consisting of mineralized structures probably related to Miocene aged monzonite dykes principally within. Mineralization is encountered in veins parallel to the main fault systems, in replacement bodies associated with the calcareous sections of the conglomerates and other favourable stratigraphic horizons, and as dissemination in the monzonitic intrusions at vein intersections.  

Mineralization occurs mainly in veins but also in “mantos” (stratiform deposits) and replacement deposits. Mineralized veins vary from a few centimetres to up to 10 metres wide, and may extend along strike for up to 1,800 metres. Most of the structures show open mineralization at depth and have excellent exploration potential.
  
The first pulse of mineralization was associated with the emplacement of intrusive bodies and the subsequent opening of structures, during which zinc, iron, tin, and tungsten minerals were deposited. This was fo ........


Mining Methods

  • Cut & Fill
  • Sub-level stoping
  • Room-and-pillar


Summary:

(Translated from Spanish by Google Translate)
The Chungar unit has two underground mines: the Animón mine, with a production capacity of 3,200 tpd and the Islay mine with a production capacity of 450 tpd, the tonnages produced by these two mines are treated at the Animón plant.

The main mining method at Animon is cut and fill; sub-level stoping production is subordinate. The mining method at Islay is sub-level stoping in vein-hosted mineralisation, and room and pillar for sub-horizontal mineralized bodies.

Animon Mine
At the Animón mine, during 2022, the electrical panels with differential protection were 100% implemented, the construction of 3 new electrical substations began, 3 new pumping substations were completed, 721m of BRs were built, improving the ventilation coverage of 81% to 91%, 17 mining shelters were implemented for emergency response, the bank breakers were repaired and the Pique Timmers cable was changed, the bolting cable was installed in long drill pits to reduce the dilution and stability of production pits, the section was changed from 3.8x4.0 to 3.5x4.0 in cut and fill pits and sublevels, improving dilution.

Islay Mine
A fourth line was implemented in the infrastructure of the pumping system inside the mine for a total capacity of 420 l/s, which guarantees the development of the deepening of the mine. On the other hand, the operation was centralized in the structures Veta Sur, Islay Piso, and Manto Guadalup ........
