en.Wedoany.com Reported - Anglo American has achieved a significant milestone at its tailings filter plant in the Sistema Minas-Rio, processing over 1 million tons of filtered tailings during the testing phase. Under construction since 2022, the facility will prevent approximately 85% of total tailings from entering the Minas-Rio system's tailings dam once operational. The company has invested a total of around 5 billion reais in this project.

The company stated that the project is a strategic initiative to achieve sustainable continuity. The initial tests at the filter plant not only represent technological progress but also demonstrate responsible innovation and the implementation of the company's values. The project also strengthens the tailings management strategy, with the relevant facilities already operating under the highest safety standards.

Production data during the testing phase confirms the robustness of the company's management practices, aiming to enhance efficiency and predictability in Anglo American's delivery processes.

The tailings filter plant uses vacuum filtration technology to separate solid tailings, which are then sent to designated areas for storage instead of being deposited in the tailings dam. The separated water is reused in the Minas-Rio production process, thereby improving the operational efficiency of water resource management.

After producing the first batch of filtered slurry during the testing phase, the project has now entered the operational adjustment stage and is progressing toward full capacity. The facility is expected to reach its design capacity by the end of the first half of 2026.
