Pascua-Lama Mine (Chile, Argentina)

At altitudes exceeding 5000m, Pascua-Lama is one of the world's highest open-pit mines, focusing on the depletion of gold and silver. It is located in the vicinity of the main crest of the Andes along the border between Chile and Argentina and benefits from the high resolution wind and snowfall forecasts delivered by MetGIS for the mining area.
