Corporate Update on Quiulacocha Tailings Project
In compliance with the requirements for the formulation of an Environmental Impact Declaration
(DIA) for the exploration of the Quiulacocha Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), on April 18, 2021, CDPR
successfully held a participatory workshop with the local Quiulacocha Community and
authorities. The workshop was preceded by the Ministry of Energy and Mines. Due to the
pandemic, the workshop was held using a virtual internet conferencing platform, transmitted live
on local radio and simultaneously streamed on the website and Facebook page of the local radio
station.
Members of the general committee of the workshop as well as the president of the Quiulacocha
Community and the mayor of Quiulacocha expressed their interest in and support of the tailings
exploration pro gram. During the workshop CDPR and its advisors Yaku Consultores SAC,
responded to over 80 questions and comments from the Quiulacocha Community, authorities,
and the general public. The workshop airing on Facebook was viewed over 9,500 times.
On April 19, 2021, CDPR received the official minutes of the workshop from the Environmental
branch of the Ministry (DGAAM). Now that this important milestone has been reached CDPR is
working to complete the DIA and present the document for review and approval by the
Ministry of Energy and Mines towards the end of April 2021.
The DIA provides the details and coordinates for the 40 -hole drilling program that CDPR intends
to carry out across the Quiulacocha TSF, within the boundaries of its El Metalurgista concession.
The Quiulacocha TSF is estimated to contain approximately 70 million tonnes of material with
recoverable silver, zinc, lead, copper, gold and other strategic metals as described in CDPR’s press
release of April 7, 2021.
