Transforming Resource Potential into Sustainable Mining Excellence
Unlocking the Next Tier of Polymetallic Wealth in Chile’s Premier Copper Belt.
Mawida Project
Strategic asset location & world-class neighborhood
Located in the Epicenter of Global Mining Core. Mawida is located in the El Abra / Calama mining district of the Antofagasta Province, a region responsible for over 15% of the world's copper supply. The asset sits adjacent to, and aligned with, the mega-structures of the planet's most prolific mining conglomerates.
High-Value Polymetallic Matrix with Subproduct Optimization
Mawida’s mineralized body features a highly favorable, clean polymetallic matrix consisting of Copper Sulfides, Gold, and Silver. The mineralogy allows for a highly flexible and efficient dual-processing commercial route.
- Crushing & Fine Grinding Circuit: Designed to reduce raw run-of-mine (ROM) ore down to a target particle size distribution before entering the concentration stages
- Early Precious Metal Capture: Advanced gravimetric milling circuits designed to recover coarse, free-gold on-site, providing immediate, high-liquidity precious metal revenue through physical Doré bars.
- Premium Flotation Concentrates: High-grade, premium polymetallic copper concentrates with exceptional silver and gold credits, presenting zero complex metallurgical penalties and tailored perfectly for off-take by state-backed buying agencies (ENAMI).
- Deep Porphyry Footprint: Geological and surface geochemical indicators show strong structural anomalies of Molybdenum ($Mo$), mapping out the classic signature of a massive, deeper porphyry target across the 1,300-hectare footprint.
Engineered for High Efficiency and Sustainability
Aligned with modern global mandates and Vision 2030 sustainability criteria, Mawida is engineered from its blueprint stage to be a benchmark for modern, environmentally conscious mining:
- 85% Water Recirculation: Incorporating advanced dry-stacking filter press technology to recycle the vast majority of processing water, entirely removing the risk of groundwater dependency.
- Zero-Liquid Discharge Tailings: Final tailings disposal is designed exclusively via compacted dry cake, yielding a highly stable, sismorresistant layout that fully complies with strict international ESG risk frameworks.
- Modular Processing Scalability: Plan designs account for a highly efficient, modular initial plant footprint, providing a rapid capital payback pathway with engineered optionality to scale processing capacity as resource definitions expand.
Sovereign-Backed Demand and Guaranteed Cash-Flow
Mawida completely eliminates commercial off-take and market demand risk through Chile's unique legal framework. Under the protection of Chilean Law N° 19,993, the state-owned mining enterprise, ENAMI, maintains a permanent, legally mandated sovereign obligation to purchase and process all physical concentrates generated by small and mid-scale producers in the district.
This sovereign-backed guarantee ensures that 100% of Mawida’s upcoming flotation plant production has a guaranteed, non-cyclical institutional buyer from day one of operations, ensuring stable, highly bankable cash-flow projections.
