Eco Oro completes water treatment plant at Colombia flagship
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Colombia-focused project promoter Eco Oro Minerals has completed the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant at its flagship Angostura project.
Designed and built by companies from Bucaramanga and the region of California, the treatment plant provides integrated industrial wastewater management for mining exploration processes.
Built as a modular plant with specifically designed processing tanks with the capacity to treat 20 l/s, the system would ensure that the wastewater from the company's exploration activities met Colombian and international environmental standards.
The treatment plant uses a specialised system of automatic control, enabling local and remote monitoring through real-time transmission of in situ data from multiple control points, including one located at the Angostura project and the other at the company's offices in Bucaramanga.
The real-time process control would allow the company to implement and manage contingencies and correct the treatment process immediately and remotely.
Eco Oro was still waiting on confirmatory coordinates from the Colombian Environment and Sustainable Development Ministry, also known as Mads, of the proposed Páramo of Santurbán, which would be an environmental reserve to protect areas believed to be the source of rivers and streams that supply water to 2.2-million inhabitants in Colombia.
The Páramo would potentially impact on the company’s operations at the multimillion-ounce Angostura project, in north-eastern Colombia.
The company, in recent months, made new senior management appointments, including Anna Stylianides being appointed interim president and CEO, after Joao Carrelo’s contract expired, and was not renewed.
The company had also in recent months appointed Paul Robertson as CFO.
