"I see opportunities everywhere, from greenfield projects to sustaining capital projects, where even a small percentage of recovery can yield substantial benefits for mining companies."
"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."
"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."
"Right now, Chilean mining's biggest challenge is not Peru or Argentina but Africa, which is attracting considerable attention from Chinese and Russian investments."
"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."
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."
"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."
"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."
