El presente texto señala el costo de un sistema de ventilación de una mina subterránea a través de los factores como: los costos fijos, variables, los efectos de las dimensiones de aire y el costo del equipo de ventilación. Así el costo de un sistema de ventilación tiene un componente fijo constituido por la inversión inicial requerida para practicar las excavaciones que forman la red de ventilación y comprar e instalar el equipo de ventilación. A este se agrega el costo de mantenimiento y operación del sistema (componente variable del costo total). Por ello, es necesario analizar ambos costos y así comparar las alternativas reales.

El presente estudio revela la geología del yacimiento diseminado de cu-mo de almacén de Ica. Este depósito porfirítico, inicialmente estuvo compuesto de microgranito y pórfido cuarcífero, los cuales son relacionados con los procesos de alteración y mineralización del depósito. Posteriormente, estos eventos intrusivos de postmineralización están representados por un enjambre do diques de composición decítiica, pórfido diorítico cuarcífero y andésitico. Asimismo se describe el proceso de mineralización y la distribución de este mineral, la alteración hidrotermal y el zoneamiento de la mineralización-alteración.

The paper point out the structural openings and the localization of ore bodies. Structural openings in rocks constitute the primary permeability network for the formation of most hydrothermal ore deposits. The distribution, geometry, density, and orientation of ore bodies in structural openings are controlled by two primary factors: the far and near field stresses and the mechanical properties of rock. When stress controls the orientation and kinematics of faults and fractures in the absence of pre-existing weaknesses, ore shoot orientation is perpendicular to the fault slip vector and can be predicted by kinematic analysis. However, when structural openings form along pre-existing weaknesses, ore shoot orientation cannot always be predicted by kinematic analysis. Because we can classify ore bodies based on the types of geological structures discussed above and the variations that naturally occur from material property heterogeneity, exploration for hydrothermal ore deposits should include analysis of geologic structure and evolution, rheological variations, pre-existing weakness, and fault kinematics to evaluate structuralcontrols on localization of ore bodies.

Froth flotation has been the heart of mineral beneficiation for over a century. Over the years, developments have been made in flotation cell design, size, and in many other aspects of flotation technology. Despite the overall effectiveness of these improvements, valuable mineral particles are often lost along with waste material. These particles are lost when the froth recovery process within a flotation system is not designed for variable froth conditions seen in plant operations. Both the amount of froth generated and the type of froth in a flotation cell change as concentrate is removed down a row of cells. Traditionally, froth recovery has been designed using a froth carry rate averaged over the entire row of flotation cells with a static amount of open area at the top of the cell.

Highly fertile magmatic conditions for porphyry copper formation, such as high water content, can be recognized in zircon trace element chemistry using proxies as the 104(Eu/Eu*)/Yb ratio. Due to their resistance to alteration and long-distance transport, zircons hosted in sedimentary sequences can be used to assess fertility over large detrital source areas. Herein we present a study based on LA-ICP-MS analyses of zircons derived from post-Oligocene sedimentary sequences cropping out across the Paleocene-Eocene Cerro Colorado district of Northern Chile. U-Pb dating on individual detrital zircons yielded ages ranging from Jurassic to Miocene, concordant with the district geology. Subsequent fertility assessment recognized several peaks in the magmatic hydration over time.

The treatment of a complex orebody requires a thorough understanding of its mineralogy. If there is a poor appreciation of the mineralogy involved, difficulties can emerge with the efficient exploitation of the resource. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in automated image analysis systems, which aim to improve the reliability and accuracy of the data, which can be gathered. In this sense, the paper point out the process mineraloggy for complex ores. Mineral modal analysis a description of texture and liberation studies are the basis of these measurements. They have been applied to a wide range of mineral systems including copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold.

The paper point out the importance of a maintenance program at Toquepala, as to the effect that any changes in the above may have on the program and organization. The Southern Peru Copper Corporation carry out a training program in operation with a appropiate peruvian staff, as it has been established the basics for a sound, preventative maintenance and repair organization. In consecuence, this company decided to expand a two -fold program of training and maintenance so that the Peruvian personnel will not only be an aid to the Company but a national as set to Perú as well.

The paper point out the styles of Pacific Rim epithermal gold mineralization. Some characteristics of differing styles of epithermal gold mineralization influence investment decisions (metallurgy, metal ratios, mining style), while others should be taken into account during prospecting (pyrite content and resistivity govern geophysical techniques, vein/breccia styles control drilling, gold distribution influences ore reserve determinations). Two groups of epithermal deposits are distinguished by the fluid style which controls ore and gangue mineralogy. High sulfidation systems develop from the reaction of hot acidic magmatic fluids with host rocks to produce characteristic zoned alteration and later sulfide (dominantly enargite-pyrite) and Au-Ag-Cu deposition. Ore systems display permeably controls governed by lithology, structure and breccias, typically phreatomagmatic breccia pipes, and should be distinguished from a group of generally non-economic acidic alteration including: steam heated alteration, lithocaps or barren shoulders, acid sulfate, and magmatic solfatara alteration.

Catchment basin sampling allows for rapid assessment of large areas. Stream sediment surveys are a common tool used in regional exploration. The difficulty in detecting geochemical anomalies in stream sediment data from large regional datasets lies in finding the background values of pathfinder elements due to variable lithologies that could be sampled within a single basin. An alternative data driven method to discover anomalies in complex environments, without a priori knowledge of background concentrations, is presented here

Future challenges to the mining industry are many and include increasing requirements from regulatory agencies and communities, more competitive commodity pricing, increasing competition for power and water supplies, deeper mines and increasing number sulfide ore bodies requiring dealing with Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) controls and finally larger mine waste structures increasing consequences of potential failures. In this sense, the paper deals with approaches that can, and have been, used in planning the overall project and tailings facilities locations and layouts. It also discusses approaches used to achieve better planning, by considering an integrated milling, concentration, and tailings process, rather than considering tailings and the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) as an independent entity.
