Rio2 Begins Commissioning of Tailings Filtration Facility at Condestable Mine in Peru
Rio2 Limited has commenced the commissioning phase for a new Tailings Filtration Facility (TFF) at its Condestable Copper Mine in Peru. This facility, which represents a $27 million investment, is designed to process 100% of the mine's current tailings output with a capacity of 8,400 tons per day. The transition to dry-stack tailings is a significant operational milestone, enhancing safety and environmental standards. The facility is expected to be fully operational by the third quarter of 2026, with environmental approval anticipated in the same period. The TFF will initially use existing tailings impoundment facilities before moving to a new Tailings Storage Facility, which is designed for future expansion.
