New leaching facilities

by InnovationLaboratoryOur company

At Aminpro we are constantly investing in the continuous improvement of our processes and facilities, in order to deliver the best service to our customers. That is why we have expanded our installed capacity to perform leaching tests at different scales.

We have new automated equipment for bottle leaching tests, with temperature, agitation, and timer control. We have also installed 30 6-meter high columns for 180-day irrigation tests.

We are currently conducting several tests of non-chloride leaching of copper ores, using 3 sets of columns in a series of 3, i.e. where the first column feeds the second column, etc. This allows us to study the behavior of the ore over long periods of time with different irrigation rates.

Aminpro increased copper recovery in 8 percentage points

by Laboratory

Aminpro performed column leaching tests for Antilla mining project, owned by Panoro Minerals.

Antilla project considers leaching over 117 Mton of secondary copper sulfides. Previous tests carried out by the company showed copper recoveries of 72,5% in 200 days of processing.

Aminpro engineers managed to obtain copper recoveries close to 80% in just 150 days of column leaching.

The President & CEO of Antilla project, Luquman Shaheen, was happy with our results:

“The results of the column-leaching experimental programme have shown a significative growth potential for the economy of Antila project”

These results were highlighted by the specialised press in Peru, as can be seen in this magazine article of  Rumbo Minero.
