Volcan Compañia Minera History
In 1943 the Company began operations as Volcan
Mines Company. For more than 50 years, Volcan
operated only two mines, Ticlio and Carahuacra,
and the concentrator Victoria.
One year later, in 2000, Volcan acquired Empresa PRODUCTION 1997 2014
Administradora Chungar with 450 ha. of mining
concessions and a 350 tpd processing plant. Zinc Concentrates (MT) 50,000 520,000
Today Chungar produces 5,500 tpd.
Lead Concentrates (MT) 6,000 108,000
These acquisitions, as well as mine and plant Copper Concentrates (MT) 15,000
expansions executed by the Company in the last
15 years, turned Volcan into one of the principal Silver (000 Oz) 500 22,500
producers of zinc, silver and lead in the world.
