Summary
Capstone Copper Corp. announced a temporary production interruption at its Mantoverde operation in Chile. This was due to a failure of one of the two ball mill electrical drive motors, followed by a subsequent failure of the second motor. The site is currently operating at approximately half capacity by bypassing the ball mill, a mode they have executed successfully in the past. The company estimates that the repairs will take about four weeks and that the production impact could result in a decrease of 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate. Efforts are being made to reschedule plant maintenance to coincide with the downtime, and mitigation plans are being explored to minimize the impact.
Key Points
  • Production interruption at Mantoverde due to motor failures.
  • Repairs are expected to take four weeks.
  • Current operations at half capacity by bypassing the ball mill.
  • Estimated production impact of 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of copper.
  • Mitigation plans include rescheduling maintenance and identifying replacement strategies.
