The agreement establishes a key collaboration for the exploration and eventual exploitation of the mining area known as “Campo Blanco” in Antofagasta de la Sierra. This area, which covers approximately 7,500 hectares, is the subject of a survey requested by CAMYEN and includes the requests for the mines “Campo Blanco II, III, IV, Aguas Blancas I”.
The agreement arises after a public bidding process that ended without viable proposals, leading CAMYEN to consider World Metals Alloys for its technical and financial capacity, with the aim of attracting investment and employment to the region, for the benefit of the local economy.
This project seeks to promote the sustainable use of natural resources, the development of local mining and the conservation of the environment, in line with the social and economic development of the Puna region of Catamarca.
