Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been selected by
Minsur S.A., one of the world’s largest tin producers, to perform
the pre-feasibility and conceptual studies for the company’s
proposed tin mine development project in Peru. Both the conceptual
and pre-feasibility studies are being undertaken to extend the life
of Minsur’s San Rafael tin processing facilities located near Puno,
Peru.
The objective of the pre-feasibility study is to define the
highest value option for accessing the richest tin zone in the
proposed project location and will include structural geology,
geotechnical services, hydrogeology and tunneling design. The
conceptual study will include mine development, infrastructure,
water management, metallurgical test support and upgrades to the
existing concentrator to process tin ore that also contains copper
and silver.

Jacobs Mining & Minerals and Specialty Chemicals Senior Vice
President and General Manager Andrew Berryman. “The partnered
facility expansion of this project will support sustainability
efforts for future production.”
