Snapshot
Operations
Products and/or services of Marimaca Copper Corp.
- Copper Oxide Mining Development: Open-pit mining development targeting near-surface oxide mineralization in the Antofagasta Region of Chile. Located twenty-five kilometers from port facilities, the asset focuses on low-strip extraction to feed heap leach processing operations.
- Copper Cathode Production: Solvent extraction and electrowinning processing operations designed to convert heap-leached oxide ores into refined high-purity copper cathodes. Processing plans utilize established regional infrastructure, grid power connections, and accessible seawater supply routes.
- Greenfield Exploration Properties: District-scale mineral exploration spanning a 14,500-hectare land package in northern Chile. Drilling programs evaluate both shallow copper oxide targets and deeper copper-silver sulphide mineralization across multiple prospective concessions.
- Satellite Copper Deposit Exploration: Advanced exploration drilling located twenty-eight kilometers east of primary operations, targeting high-grade copper and silver mineralization. Technical programs encompass diamond and reverse-circulation drilling to outline potential feed material for processing.
- Secondary Mineral Concessions: Mineral rights management and target testing across secondary claim blocks in the coastal copper belt. Work programs evaluate historical exploration data and perform geophysical surveys to define additional oxide drill targets.
- Mining Infrastructure Development: Commercial power connection agreements and utility pipeline design to supply grid energy and industrial water to processing facilities. Infrastructure planning leverages nearby commercial highways, deep-water ports, and electrical distribution lines.
