Question

Why was the antamina mine developed in such a remote location?

Answer 1

Answer:

The development of the Antamina Project was a milestone in Peruvian mining history. It was not only the largest private investment in the history of the country, but also the largest Greenfield mining investment in history. The project faced many difficult challenges, such as its remote location, high altitude, lack of infrastructure, and difficult technical issues such as the transport of concentrate through a 302 km. Concentrate pipeline. In spite of these challenges the project was constructed a head of schedule and under the original $2.3 billion budget.
