Open pit mining completed in Q3 2018. The Alumbrera mine is currently not operating as a production mine as of December 31, 2019. On December 17, 2020, the integration of the Agua Rica Project with the Alumbrera Mine and Alumbrera plant and infrastructure (the "MARA Project") was completed and the parties (Newmont, Glencore, and Yamana) …
Based on Ar–Ar and U–Pb dating, magmatism occurred in the FNVC from ∼9.7 Ma to ∼6 Ma (Sasso and Clark, 1998, Halter et al., ... All four of the Bajo de la Alumbrera porphyries analysed contain zircon dates spanning a clearly resolved variation of ∼200 ka, which precludes the calculation of a geologically meaningful or statistically ...
Report summary. The accompanying profile covers the Alumbrera production prior to the integration of Agua Rica and Alumbrera mine announced in March 2019. The operation is located in northwest of Catamarca province in Argentina at 2,600 masl. The operation is comprised of an open pit, and a on-site 120kt/d ore mill connected …
Published: 28 Sep 2014. Type: Case study. Minera Alumbrera (MAA) is a joint venture between Glencore, Goldcorp and Yamana, engaged in the exploration and mining of metals in northwest Argentina. One of MAA's primary sites lies in the Bajo de laAlumbrera copper, gold and molybdenum deposit, located in the Catamarca province …
The Alumbrera deposit formed in a tectonically favourable location within a major arc-oblique wrench fault system, the Tucuman Transfer Zone. Initial andesitic volcanism deposited on crystalline Lower Palaeozoic basement, and subsequently emplaced dacitic subvolcanic stocks are directly related to eastward subduction of the Nazca oceanic plate beneath …

Alteration zones at the gold-rich Bajo de la Alumbrera porphyry copper deposit in northwestern Argentina are centered on several porphyritic intrusions. They are zoned from a central copper-iron sulfide and gold-mineralized potassic (biotite-K-feldspar ± quartz) core outward to propylitic (chlorite-illite-epidotecalcite) assemblages.
The conveyor extends 35 km to the Alumbrera process plant, where it will feed the existing stacker conveyor via a new transfer station. MOST RECENT. IAMGOLD's Côté Gold joins the AHS club with 793 trucks; XCMG's concept cabless, autonomous & battery truck – the XDR80TE-AT;
On December 17, 2020, Yamana completed of the integration of the Agua Rica Project with the Alumbrera Mine and Alumbrera plant and infrastructure forming the MARA Joint Venture under which Yamana holds a controlling interest of 56.25%, with Glencore International AG holding a 25.00% interest and Newmont Corporation holding an 18.75% interest.
This paper describes the igneous geology, alteration mineralogy, and geochemistry, as well as the ore mineralization history of Bajo de la Alumbrera, a world-class porphyry copper-gold deposit in northwestern Argentina. The deposit occurs in the K-rich calc-alkaline Farallon Negro Volcanic Complex, located 200 km east of the main …
The Bajo de la Alumbrera porphyry Cu-Au deposit, Argentina, is in the eastern Andes, near the north edge of a region of reverse fault-bound basement uplifts that overlie a low-angle segment of the subduction zone. Alumbrera, now above the transition from steep to flat subduction, formed at ~7 Ma in the Farallón Negro volcanic field, which …
