Construction and implementation
A mobile preparation plant to process spot lots was built and implemented in the North, especially for Codelco Chuquicamata.
New reception and mixing plant for gold and copper concentrate: “Las Gaviotas” site.
CyM obtained its first contract for the separation and preparation of refractory bricks used with Codelco. From this date, this service has been part of CyM‘s constant activities.
2016
Fixed plant
CyMinstalled a fixed plant for the preparation of reverts in the Ventanas de Codelco smelter, with an original crushing and loading system in line without human intervention, directly to containers, with simultaneous consolidation of 2 containers with 2 different products. From this date this service has been part of the constant activities carried out by CyM.
CyM organized the purchase, logistics and administration of the export of 35,000 tons of smelting slag from Codelco Ventanas, classified IMO 9.

First export of circulant
CyM carried out the first export of reverts from the HVL Smelter, with a mobile system of separation by granulometry.
The reception and mixing of copper concentrate started in Las Gaviotas plant, Quintero.
2014
Valorization of secondary products
CyM was born with the vision of valuing secondary products and waste from copper foundries in Chile. Thanks to our knowledge of the treatment circuits in Europe and Asia, CyM elaborated preparation lines for reverts and slag, in such a way that it transformed what was industry waste into a product ready for optimum valuation.
