High-density iron concentrate
Mechanical processing of iron-bearing sands in Iquique — chemical-free, ready for international export.
The company
Iquique-based, 10+ years in the sector
APC Minerales focuses on the extraction, export, purchase, and sale of mineral resources in northern Chile. Our infrastructure includes crushers, screens, conveyors, magnetic drums, and storage facilities.
Our team's hands-on experience in the first production phase enables us to expand into new deposits within the region while maintaining a strong commitment to quality and the long-term sustainability of the business.
How we work
Clean, mechanical processes
Our processes are fully mechanical, based on magnetic separation. We recover the iron and return the clean sand to its place of origin.
Extraction
We operate iron-sand deposits with an environmentally minded approach, keeping ground disturbance to a minimum.
Magnetic concentration
Magnetic drums and screens separate iron through a mechanical process that uses no chemical reagents.
No chemicals
No metallurgical process, additive, or component disrupts the local flora, fauna, or environment.
Flora & fauna rescue
When flora or fauna are present in the work area, we relocate them to neighbouring zones before operations begin.
Operations
Our projects
We process iron-bearing sands and iron ore to produce a high-density concentrate intended for export.
