Boosting technological solutions for mining

The CIPTEMIN Integrated Mining Technologies Piloting Center, in its role as articulator, enables, through pilotage and validation on a real scale in semi-industrial and industrial test fields, to accelerate technological developments and innovations that will revolutionize the mining industry.

CIPTEMIN has spaces and test fields at different scales; pilot, semi-industrial and industrial, in different regions of the country so that solution developers can pilot and validate their technologies and innovations.

CIPTEMIN

The Pilot and Validation Center has properly conditioned and instrumented infrastructure to measure and verify the critical parameters of the technological innovations to be tested, supported by standardized test protocols and managed by a highly qualified human team based on the best international practices for validations of technological solutions.

The Integrated Piloting Center for Mining Technologies is an articulator and facilitator between the needs and problems of the mining industry, promoting and developing technological and innovative solutions focused on the different processes of the mining production line:

  • Mine operations (open pit and underground).
  • Concentrator and hydrometallurgical plants operation.
