BRUNITE MINING DEPOSIT RESTORATION

Brunita - Zone 1


This action is carried out on an area of 26.16 ha, which includes the "Brunita" mining waste deposit along with two other deposits called "Pocilgas", as well as its immediate surroundings.
The tailings ponds are undergoing topographic reshaping to ensure their structural stability and surface sealing with waterproofing layers. The surrounding area is being treated with liming materials and topsoil. This ensures the containment and stability of the mining waste.

The project has been underway since February 2025. Work has progressed significantly, with the final configuration of the Brunita reservoir completed and its waterproofing well advanced. The Pocilgas reservoir is fully finished and ready for partial acceptance.
