INTRODUCTION Peru is one of the richest nations existing today in terms of

copper resources are concerned. This red metal is and will be for many years, the main product
of Chilean exports and the largest copper mine producer in the world. Likewise
our country has the necessary infrastructure for the exploitation and export of these
resources. Especially if we consider that the contribution of mining to GDP is significant
significant. By virtue of the above, this research has among its objectives
provide relevant information regarding this product (such as equipment for
the process and description of the process) as well as information about the process and its
Improvements. The mineral concentrate is the product obtained after the extracted mineral.
from the mine goes through crushing, grinding, and flotation processes. Each mineral concentrate
it has different elements that compose it. It is characterized as the thick pulp obtained from
the flotation stage in the production process, where a mixture of sulfide is found
of copper, iron, and a series of salts from other metals. Its proportion depends on the
mineralogy of the mine.

GENERALITIES 1.1.-

Background The mining company Glencore Antapaccay is dedicated to production of

copper concentrate. Its mining site is located at 4,100 m above sea level, in the province of
Espinar, 250 km southwest of the city of Cusco and 260 km from the city of Arequipa. If
we do a bit of history, we will remember that in September 1971 the military government designated
to the state company Minero Perú the special rights for the exploitation of the deposits
from Tintaya, hiring HA Simons Internacional Ltd. to prepare the study of
Feasibility of exploiting the deposit. In accordance with the active state presence in the
mining investments, on May 2, 1980, the Associated State Mining Company was established,
according to the General Mining Law. Shortly after, by Legislative Decree
109 changed its legal status to that of Special Mining Company Tintaya S.A., starting its
operations in 1985. On November 29, 1994, as part of the reduction strategy
from the participation of public capitals, and according to the established privatization program
under the government of Alberto Fujimori, the American consortium Magma Copper was awarded
the winning bid for mining exploitation in an international auction by offering US $218 million in
effective, $55 million in Peruvian debt securities and a commitment to invest $85
millions in a period of 5 years. In January 1996, Broken Hill Proprietary Inc. (BHP) of
Australia acquired Magma Copper Company. This company is the largest in the industrial area.
and extraction of natural resources in Australia, has active mineral exploitation assets and
oil, and steel production, of more than 36 billion U.S. dollars, with
annual revenues calculated at US $22.32 billion, with a workforce of around 61
mil workers in more than 50 countries around the world. Finally, in the year 2001 it was consolidated.
strategic merger between BHP and Billiton. Both corporations share a vision for the future
similar, although BHP has copper, coal, and steel as its main elements, while
Billinton, for its part, has mines in aluminum and other metals. These two companies
they complement each other, having operations all over the world, which currently makes them
one of the world's most important mining corporations, with operations in
South America, Australia, United States, Canada, Europe, South Africa, and Indonesia. BHP Billiton is
a corporation dedicated to the exploitation of natural resources, based in Australia that,
as we saw, it operates in approximately 50 countries, grouped into four divisions:
minerals (copper, coal, iron, titanium, and diamond), steel, oil, and services. In Peru, the
the corporation is represented by the operation Grupo Glencore CM Antapaccay, which is dedicated
in the production and marketing of copper, both nationally and in the market
international. 13 The mining unit located at 4,100 m.a.s.l., in the province of Espinar, covers

feasibility study. An investment of US $230 million is estimated and a
production of 113,000 TMF / year copper. Part of the land for this project has been
purchased from the Alto Huarca community. Studies are also being carried out for the
Coroccohuayco project, located nine kilometers southeast of the main pit.
Tintaya. The company has also built a tailings dam in the area of
Huinipampa. The purpose of this tailings dam is to provide additional capacity for the
storage of tailings from Tintaya, which will allow BHP to extend the lifespan of the mine
of copper, for about eight years.

Location of the Tintaya Mining Company The mining company Glencore Tintaya - Antapaccay is
located at 4100 m.a.s.l. in the district of Yauri, province of Espinar in Cusco -
Peru; approximately 256 km southeast of the city of Cusco and 265 km northeast of the city of
Arequipa. Production at Tintaya was initiated by Magma Copper Company in 1985 and, in 1996,
Magma was acquired by BHP Billiton. Xstrata Corporation bought Tintaya from BHP in 2006.
for US$ 750 million. It is anticipated that the production cycle of the mine will continue until
approximately the year 2018.

Geology and Mineral Reserves The Tintaya mine is a Cu skarn deposit.

In Au, Ag, and Mo, the mineralization is located in the intrusive bodies as
dispersed and filling fractures and towards the contact with the sedimentary rocks (limestones) it
the skarn develops, the deposit is covered by alluvial material. The Porphyries

Au), Haquira (Cu); all these porphyries are calcoalcaline (Sáez 1996) and Magnetta series
with copper and/or molybdenum mineralization, silver and gold. Within this strip, there is a
Cretaceous basin that spans from the early Cretaceous to the late middle Cretaceous (Carloto 2006),

Matarani port. The reserves are estimated at 720 million tons of copper with a
law of 0.56%. The activities related to the start-up of the plant continue.
while Antapaccay gradually increases production to reach a capacity of
nominal processing of 70,000 tons per day in the first half of 2013.

LABOR COST AND OTHERS

Classification of costs

Costs are classified according to various approaches: [Link] According to their function a.
Production costs.- They are direct raw materials, direct labor, and the costs
indirect manufacturing costs. b. Selling expenses - All those outlays that the company
it happens in the sales process of finished products and taken to the points of sale
c. Administrative expenses.- These are the disbursements made by the company to carry out the
internal administrative management of the company

According to their behavior a. Fixed costs.- Expenditures incurred in the productive area
that are carried out on a permanent basis regardless of productive activity, such as
for example the maintenance cost of the factory, factory rent, permanent salaries,
etc. b. Variable costs.- These are the disbursements incurred in the factory that are related to
strictly with the production process such as the consumption of the material
first, the energy consumption, the depreciation of the machinery that is in operation.
[Link] According to the identification of the service lines a. Direct costs.- They are the
disbursements identified with the production line or products being manufactured,
for example, the fabric consumption in the making of a garment. b. Indirect costs.-
They are the resources invested by the company in the production of goods.

Accumulation and calculation of costs in the service order costing system

companies carry out their costs by batches, controlling their production operations for a
specific or defined quantity of finished items. These orders are intended to supply
again the warehouse or to attend to an order placed by a customer. For the costing of the
service order, a master summary sheet known as a cost sheet is used

of the cost: direct raw material, direct labor, and indirect manufacturing costs, such
how they have been designed in the cost sheets
