FILTERED INTERVIEW RESULTS
Guillermo García Cano
MANAGING DIRECTOR, BESALCO
"If the government can address security and permitting efficiently, it will help unlock the potential of numerous mining projects and solidify Chile’s position as a global leader in the mining industry."
Ulises Poirrier
CEO, CBB CALES
"As part of our investment plan for Chile and Argentina, one of our main goals is to install three new state-of-the-art kilns to meet the rising demand from customers in large-scale copper and lithium mining."
Joshua Olmsted
PRESIDENT AND COO, FREEPORT-MCMORAN AMERICAS
"The challenge for Chile will be to find ways to streamline and expedite the permitting process without compromising environmental standards."
Andrés Osorio

Philippe Hemmerdinger
CEO, TECNOLOGÍA EN TRANSPORTE DE MATERIALES (TTM)
"We aim to ensure every recovered material has a designated use — mill balls for reuse, metal scrap for foundries, and clean minerals for continued processing."
John Mackenzie and Cashel Meagher
CHAIR OF THE BOARD (JM) AND CEO (CM), CAPSTONE COPPER
"This year represents an inflection point for Capstone, with our recently released 2025 guidance demonstrating increased cash flow generation highlighted by continued copper production growth and decreasing unit costs."
Sergio Zamorano
CEO, FAM
"Traditionally, we used systems that processed 9,000 t/hour, but now many projects require systems capable of handling 15,000 t/hour, with some plants even planning to operate multiple lines at that scale."
Fernando Vivanco
GENERAL MANAGER, MASTER DRILLING
"Chile’s mining landscape is evolving, with many of its century-old mines transitioning to underground operations. This shift aligns with Master Drilling’s long-term strategy to expand its market presence."
Andrés Souper
GENERAL MANAGER, GLENCORE CHILE
"The stability of the copper market will depend on the ability of Chile and other producers to balance growth with sustainability."
