Current stage

Regarding the current status of our project, it should be noted that, after submitting the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the Environmental Impact Assessment System (SEIA) in October 2023, the process has been successfully completed, providing a comprehensive response to the more than 1,400 observations contained in the Consolidated Report on Requests for Clarification, Rectifications and/or Additions (ICSARA) issued by the Environmental Assessment Service (SEA) in February 2025, as well as to the more than 800 citizen observations received from the second citizen participation process (PAC) in April of the same year.

This rigorous process of analysis and technical dialogue culminated on November 13, 2025, with the granting of the Environmental Qualification Resolution (RCA), a milestone that confirms the viability and regulatory compliance of the Kimal – Lo Aguirre project.

For its part, the indigenous peoples consultation process (PCPI), initiated by the SEA in June 2024 and expanded in March 2025 to include new Diaguita communities, progressed in parallel with the processing of the EIA and its Addenda, allowing the views and agreements with the indigenous peoples to be integrated in a manner consistent with the Project’s commitments. This process was formally completed in October of the same year, with agreements reached with all participating organizations, which were incorporated as mandatory environmental commitments in the RCA.
