MINERA TRES VALLES
Minera Tres Valles is a medium-sized copper mining operation.
What We Do
We are dedicated to the production of Grade A high quality copper cathodes (99.99%). This is done through processing ore from our own mines as well as ore purchased from local small-scale miners.
Our operations are located within the Chalinga, Cárcamo and Chuchiñí valleys, near the towns of Salamanca and Illapel in the southern Coquimbo Region. We focus our mining efforts on the Don Gabriel open pit and the Papomono underground mines.
