The complex comprises the producing Cerro Colorado pit, the San Dionisio deposit (waste-stripping accelerating from 12.4 Mt in FY2025 to 19-23 Mt in FY2026 to provide higher-grade blend feed; AAU received from Junta de Andalucia on 15 May 2025) and the San Antonio polymetallic deposit located immediately east of Cerro Colorado (subject to infill and step-out drilling). Brownfield expansion completed in 2019. A 15 Mtpa processing plant with engineering ongoing for a polymetallic circuit to allow simultaneous treatment of polymetallic and copper ores. Atalaya updated its Ore Reserves in June 2025 in accordance with the JORC Code (2012); the latest Ore Reserves statement implies a mine life of approximately nine years.
