"I observe two main issues that are driving demand for our services: first, water management, and second, mine closure, because a growing number of mines in Chile are in the last phase of their life cycle."
VICE PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, PRO DRILLING
"This year, our primary goal was to have 90% of our drill rigs in operation. We have been successful, and currently, nearly all of our equipment is in use."
"Reconciliation reduces variability in feeding the mill, reducing the cost of water, energy, and reagents per tonnage. We also minimize the impact on communities by reducing dilution, as this lowers the tailings per ton of metal produced."
"When Lomas Bayas began operations, its projected useful life was only 12 years. Today, we are about to celebrate our 25th anniversary, demonstrating our ability to adapt to changes in the industry."
"Chile needs a long-term vision for the mining industry and a continuous design of public policies that promote the adequate extraction of critical minerals for the global energy transition."
"Expediting the permitting process would help dramatically. Today, lots of projects are expansions or smaller projects, which take less time to bring to production through the permitting process."
GENERAL MANAGER - SOUTH AMERICA, HOFMANN ENGINEERING
"We have an ambitious plan to achieve significant milestones this year in our Chilean operation; expand the workshop and commission our new state of the art machinery, enabling us to manufacture HPGRs and other critical components locally in Chile."
