en.Wedoany.com Reported - Boroo Misquichilca, the Peruvian mining company operating the Lagunas Norte deposit, plans to extend the mine's operational life to 2034, with related adjustments involving an investment of $162 million.

The mine is located in the La Libertad region. During the extended operational period, the mine will maintain continuous operation of core processes, including open-pit mining, the heap leach system (SPL), and metallurgical processes integrating the crushing circuit, carbonaceous mineral and refractory material processing circuit, CIC plant, grinding and carbon-in-leach circuit, and the Merrill-Crowe plant. In addition, commercial production of gold bullion and gold concentrate, the water treatment system, and other related activities will continue.

According to the mining plan, Boroo expects to extract a total of 132,668 thousand tonnes (kt) of waste rock during the period from 2026 to 2034.
