Manto CMI cases are presented by location and mineralogy, and measured in covered surface area. Service-line cases are measured by contract scope and duration. These are different scales and are not added together.
Manto CMI installation on leach heaps at two sites for a single client, the largest covered surface area in the portfolio.
Installation and removal of Manto CMI on leach heaps, with temperature sensors at one of the divisions.
Manto CMI installation on leach heaps at two neighbouring operations, one of them on a sulphide PAD.

Comparative trial between products in the line, measured at the ore interface and down to 5 metres depth. Each figure expresses the difference relative to the base mat.
Temperature difference at the ore interface relative to the base mat, measured by day, average, and by night.
Average temperature at each measurement zone, from the interface down to 5 metres, relative to the base mat.
Hours for the heap to cool, by product, relative to the 11.25 h of the base mat.
Original measurements recorded in Fahrenheit and converted to Celsius. Trial baseline: interface 25.0 °C · cooling 11.25 h. Results vary according to mineralogy, heap height and irrigation cycle.
Industrial trial with sensors at 2.5, 5 and 7.5 metres depth and a real-time dashboard, with technology transferable to the CMLB system.
Module and interlift feeding, SX-EW activities and operational support in the longest-running contract in the portfolio.
Irrigation systems, skids, HDPE piping, drainage and pumping-well control at the Atacama operation.
