The Regional Government of Huancavelica in central Peru approved Kuya Silver\u2019s Semi Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment for a processing plant to be installed at the Bethania project. <\/p>\n
This is the first-ever on-site processing plant in Bethania, a silver mine that has been in operation for over 40 years but which was placed on care and maintenance in 2016. The EIA approval covers a plant design for 350 tonne-per-day crushing, grinding and flotation circuits, as well as a tailings storage facility and ancillary infrastructure.<\/p>\n Located at the heart of the silver-zinc-lead belt in Central Peru, Bethania produces a high-grade sulphide ore from several veins in a structurally controlled swarm<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n \u201cThe approval of the EIA for the Bethania project is a major accomplishment by our Peruvian team and partners, and for Kuya,\u201d David Stein, founder and president of Kuya, said in a media statement. \u201cIn addition, I would like to acknowledge the support of the Poroche community, which has been important in achieving this milestone. Not only is the permit a critical step in restarting production from the Bethania project, but our team and stakeholders can take pride in our design for a modern, environmentally conscientious operation, particularly in terms of water usage, surface disturbance and overall efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n S&L Andes Export SAC, the company that owns the project and Kuya\u2019s local joint venture entity, was in charge of dealing with the EIA. <\/p>\n At present, Kuya is bound by a purchase agreement to acquire an 80% interest in S&L Andes. This purchase is expected to take place once fellow Canadian miner Miramont Resources (CSE: MONT) completes a proposed acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kuya in exchange for shares of the company. <\/p>\n According to Miramont, the resulting entity will be in a position to purchase the remaining 80% interest in S&L Andes.<\/p>\n Located at the heart of the silver-zinc-lead belt in Central Peru, Bethania produces a high-grade sulphide ore from several veins in a structurally controlled swarm. Although 60% of the value is contained in silver, the veins also host recoverable lead, zinc, copper and gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Regional Government of Huancavelica approved the company’s EIA for a 350 tonne-per-day processing plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[369,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203837"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/92"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1203837"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1203929,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203837\/revisions\/1203929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1203837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1203837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1203837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
