Antapaccay photos 

The Xstrata plc Board approved the development of the Antapaccay copper project in July 2010 as a major long-life expansion to the Tintaya copper mine in southern Peru. The project’s progress from early earthworks through to the production of first copper concentrate in November 2012 has been captured in the images.
