Anglo American has secured desalinated water supply for its Los Bronces copper mine in Chile from 2025, following the signing of an agreement with Chilean water desalination and solutions provider Aguas Pacífico meeting almost half of the mine’s water requirements.In this first phase, Anglo American will be supplied with desalinated water from a plant that is being built in the Valparaiso region by Aguas Pacífico. The water will be transported via pipeline to our Las Tortolas plant from where it will be pumped up to the Los Bronces mine. Anglo American will also provide desalinated water to supply the nearby communities of Colina and Til Til, benefiting approximately 20,000 people.
