Rio Seco Project
Location, Access and Climate
The Rio Seco Project ("Project") is located in the Department of Libertad, Peru, 33 kilometres southeast of the city of Trujillo. There is excellent access to the Project, mainly on paved highway. The city of Trujillo is located 480 kilometres north of Lima and can be easily reached by direct daily flights (1 hour). The Project area is characterized by a moderate topography at altitudes of between 200m to 600m. The climate is arid and dry, typical of a desert environment.
There is excellent infrastructure already in place for the Project, which includes:
• road access along the Pan-American Highway just 45 minutes from Trujillo (population more than a million)
• a 10 km long well-compacted and easy to maintain dirt road from the highway turn off to the project location
• a major power line located within a couple of kilometers east of the Pan-American Highway
• a large government-owned concrete water channel running through the concessions
