Southern Copper Corporation (SCC) announced that its subsidiary, Industrial
Minera Mexico S. A. de C.V. (IMMSA), Desarrolladora Intersaba, S.A. de C.V. (INTERSABA)
and the Municipality of San Luis Potosí had reached an agreement by means of
which IMMSA agrees to change the technology in order to stop using anhydrous ammonia
gas in the production process at its San Luis zinc plant. The San Luis Municipality also confirmed that
local regulations permit IMMSA to use the land for industrial purposes.
As part of the agreement,
INTERSABA and the Municipality of San Luis Potosi agreed to donate a real
estate area that was considered by IMMSA as a buffer zone in order for IMMSA to
construct a park for the recreation of the San Luis population. This agreement
shows SCCs firm commitment for a sustainable development of its mining operations.
Also IMMSA and INTERSABA agreed to settle
all litigation between them relating to land permits and buffer zone, litigation
which had been reported in SCCs report on Form 10-K for 2008 and Forms
10-Q for the First and the Second Quarter of 2009 and reports of prior years.
