Following an inspection of the construction of the Oruro cement works in Caracollo, engineering works have advanced by 17 per cent and the overall project has been completed by around a quarter. Therefore, the commissioning of the plant is expected in 2017.

The plant covers an area of 9ha, excluding the quarry and reflects an investment of around US$245m. Operating expenses at works are estimated to be in the region of US$50m.
