Deposit Type

  • Vein / narrow vein
  • Hydrothermal


Summary:

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 followed by a copper, lead, and silver rich stage, and finally by an antimony/silver phase associated with quartz.


Mining Methods

  • Cut & Fill
  • Sub-level stoping


Summary:

(Translated from Spanish by Google Translate) The Animón mine, with a production capacity of 3,200 tpd, is part of The Chungar unit. Mined ore is processed at the Animón plant. The main mining method at Animon is cut and fill; sub-level stoping production is subordinate. During 2021, the construction of the filtering plant for the disposal of tailings was completed at the Animón mine. Also, electrical panels with differential protection were installed along with 12 mining emergency shelters and the repairs of the Timmers shaft. Finally, cable bolting installation was implemented to optimize active and passive mining tasks. In Animón mine, during 2022 the electrical panels with differential protection were implemented 100%, the construction of 3 new electrical substations began, 3 new pumping substations were completed, 721m of RBs were made improving ventilation coverage from 81% to 91%, 17 mining shelters were implemented for emergency response, the repair of the bank breakers and cable change of the Pique Timmers was carried out, the installation of bolting cable in long drill faces was implemented to reduce the dilution and stability of the production pits, the section change was made from 3.8x4.0 to 3.5x4.0 in cutting and filling faces and sublevels improving dilution.
