Mining News Pro - Mining contractor Thiess has chosen the Wenco Mine Performance Suite to run operations at Antofagasta’s Centinela copper mine in northern Chile.
According to Mining News Pro - Centinela mine sits 1,350 km north of Santiago in the Antofagasta region of Chile. Antofagasta Minerals contracted Thiess to develop the Encuentro Oxides pit, which will contribute to the mine`s production of 50,000 tonnes of copper cathode per year for a planned lifespan of 15 years.
To monitor and control this production, Thiess is leveraging the Wencomine fleet management system across the mine`s 56 active machines, including 12 high-precision loading units and five high-precision drill rigs.
Wenco said expanding the business relationship with Thiess in South America was strategically important for the technology company. Contractor-operated sites are common throughout the region and they stand as a significant growth market for the company.
The Hitachi Construction Machinery subsidiary recently also won orders for SSR Mining`s Chinchillas and Minsur`s Pucamarca mines and entered a new partnership with Brazilian mining solutions provider Tecwise.
"Contractors like Thiess are a major growth area for Wenco and the industry as a whole. We`re seeing a great many more opportunities of this sort throughout Latin America," Wenco regional manager for Latin America José Eugenio Saravia said.
