This milestone serves as a testament to Ero’s commitment to operational excellence and signifies a pivotal moment in the project’s development.
The commissioning milestone was reached following the triumphant execution of milling and flotation operations, completed just before the end of the second quarter of 2024. Impressively, the inaugural production exceeded the process design concentrate grade targets, reflecting both the project’s advanced technological application and the meticulous planning executed by the Ero team.
The Tucum Project, strategically positioned to leverage both geological assets and cutting-edge extraction processes, is set to become a cornerstone in Ero Copper’s portfolio. The accomplishment underscores the company’s capability to push boundaries within the industry while adhering to sustainability and operational efficiency standards.

This phase of ramping up is crucial for Ero as it aligns operational capacities with market demands and enhances the overall output efficiency.
As Ero Copper advances through this next phase, the company remains committed to ensuring environmental stewardship and community engagement, integral aspects of its operational ethos. Continued progress at the Tucum Project will not only contribute to Ero’s bottom line but also to local communities through job creation and economic stimulation.
