MINERAL RESOURCES & ENERGY
The San Cristobal Mine
Meeting the Challenges of the Mineral Resources Project in Bolivia
S
an Cristobal is one of the largest zinc, lead and silver mines located in the Andes Mountains, a range which stretches across the antiplano of Bolivia. Located in the province of Nor Lipez in the department of Potosi. The mine sits approximately 500 kilometers south of the city of La Paz and 90 kilometers southwest of Uyuni, famous for the site of the largest salt lake in the world. The San Cristobal mine, containing a worldclass mineral deposit 4,000 meters above sea level, has the third largest silver output and sixth largest zinc output currently in production. Producing zinc-silver and lead concentrates and shipping to international markets, the operation has created a stable source of mineral imports, indirectly contributing to the manufacturing of a wide range of products in industries involving everything from automobiles to construction, from shipbuilding to consumer electronics. This was not an easy road, though. Over several years, Sumitomo Corporation rose to the occasion and met challenge after challenge in a long process to examine and improve the mine’s operation. To expand production and boost regional development, Sumitomo’s project members, in partnership with Bolivian staff, worked hard to overcome the challenges. We are now proud to spotlight the San Cristobal project’s history, including its challenges, setbacks and successes, as we chronicle the process spearheaded by Sumitomo Corporation.
