Knowing the mine

Students and professors of the Instituto Privado Celendín (IPC) visited the Yanacocha operation areas in order to solve their doubts regarding environmental and social procedures of the modern mining in Cajamarca. The tour also included a visit to the Granja Porcón facilities, where they saw the positive environmental impact generated in the area.

"A very interesting visit, because it showed us the water care, the gold production process, as well as the protection Yanacocha gives to the Environment, aside from contributing to the professional development of my career"

“At first there are doubts about mining and the environmental impact it may create, but upon arriving Yanacocha, all doubts were cleared at observing the water treatment with state-of-the-art-technology and the great effort deployed to change old mining and reach the community. It was not a tour, we obtained personal and professional benefit from it. I wish other people would like to come and solve their doubts”.
