South America: MEIA expansion

Atacocha Mining Company proposed the expansion of the Glory Hole open pit in Pasco, Peru and the development of new components. These involved the development of three pits, Glory Hole, GH West Satellite, and GH East Satellite; the development of the Atacocha waste dumps and two internal low grade pit fields. The objective was to identify and evaluate the environmental and social impacts that could occur due to the activities proposed during the construction, operation and closure stages; and establish environmental management strategies.
