27°31′15.74″S 70°19′7.85″W / 27.5210389°S 70.3188472°W Planta Magnetita is a mineral processing plant owned by Compañía Minera del Pacífico (CMP) in Tierra Amarilla, Atacama Region, Chile.[1] The plant processes tailings from Candelaria copper mine and some ore of Los Colorados iron mine.[2][3][4][5] It is the largest plant that extracts ore from tailings in Chile.[6]
From Planta Magnetita ore concentrate (>66% Fe) of pellet feed grade is transported in a 120km-long buried pipeline to the port of Punta Totoralillo for export to Asia.[2][5] The processing plant begun operations in 2008[2] and uses only desalinated sea water for its processes.[7][8]
The plant has been called the "largest circular economy project in mining in Chile" by Revista Minera Crisol and El Desconcierto,[1][8] and in 2022 Planta Magnentia was awarded the San Lorenzo Prize by Sociedad Nacional de Minería and Asociación de Pirquineros de Tierra Amarilla for its contributions to sustainable development.[9] In 2023 CMP was sanctioned for irregularities in the position of overhead power line running through a protected area of sporadic desert bloom and connecting to Planta Magnetita.[10]
