The Baja Mining Company recently increased their interest in the Mulege El Boleo mining project.  El Boleo will make Baja Sur the second largest producer of copper and the sixth largest worldwide producer of manganese.  Copper mining will begin on the site in 2010.  Right now there are 200 people on the site and El Boleo plans to hire 2,000 people during construction and 800 during the sites operational phase. 

El Boleo has plans to produce almost 56,000 tons of copper, 1,500 tons of cobalt and 6,300 tons of zinc in the first four years of Mulege operation.  Construction and environmental permits are in place - flora and fauna in the area will be relocated.  There are a few permits that still need to be aquired such as for the dock and pier.

The Baja Sur mining industry is kicking into high gear with millions in new investment.
