Collaguasi mining district
Copper deposit, located 170 km SE of Iquique.
Typical low-grade copper porphyry, comprising several ore zones: the major Ujina and Rosario deposits / mines consisting of secondary, enriched sulphides and oxides and the Huinquintipa oxide deposit.
There is no actual Collahuasi Mine, rather it is a copper mining project. The project includes numerous mining concessions that have been titled: Alfa; América; Ana; Bambino; Bamby; Bélgica; Bermudas; Beta; Birmania; Brasil; Bulgaria; Canadá; Ceilán; Cinco; Cominco; Cuatro; Delta; Dos; Gama; Huinquintipa; Lama; María Angélica Segunda; María Paz; Rogelia; Seis; Siria; Somalía.
