"With low copper content ore bodies (around 0.3%) in South America, our intense flotation technology is key to improving recoveries at high throughputs and maintaining margins."
"We are working so that, starting in 2024, production begins its long-term growth trajectory, progressively increasing until reaching the level of 1.7 million t/y by 2030."
PRESIDENT ANDEAN REGION, TECHINT INGENIERÍA Y CONSTRUCCIÓN
"Currently our Chile team has over 6,000 people, out of 21,000 people for Techint Engineering and Construction globally, and this shows the current strength of Chile’s operations."
"The next stage of our growth story has begun. In Q1 2024, we started the construction of the Centinela Second Concentrator Project, which will add a further 170,000 t/y of copper-equivalent production."
"We expect progressively stronger copper production from Quebrada Blanca in each quarter throughout the rest of the year as we ramp up to full capacity by year-end."
"2023 was a very good year for Glencore's operations in Chile. It was a year of great milestones, considering some of the events that took place at our sites."
"Costa Fuego is well-positioned for the looming shortage in copper supply. The project features a low start-up capital with a fast payback period, 16 years of mine life, and an average annual production of 95,000 t of fine copper."
Latam North and Caribbean Mining 2025 - Digital Interactive
A convergence of high-commodity prices and low valuations, on the back of a structural deficit in exploration and discoveries, has set the perfect scene for increased M&A. The leverage is particularly high for acquisitions in Latam North and the Caribbean, where stocks do not command the high premiums of tier-one jurisdictions. But M&A is only a quick fix to the global resource replenishment crisis.
