"In South America, we are focused on synergizing operations between Chile and Peru. This involves sharing capabilities and resources across workshops to maximize efficiency."
"We worked for two decades in the locomotive maintenance program with Codelco and have not lost any time to accidents. Considering we provide around 120,000 man hours annually, that is over 2 million man hours without accidents."
"Service providers, as specialized private companies, possess a unique advantage in identifying areas to enhance operations, particularly with environmental improvements in mind."
"We will increase our total capacity by 50% to reach 1.8 million tons. This is key to meeting the future demand of mining projects that, by the end of this decade, will shift from processing oxide minerals to sulfide, thereby increasing the use of lime in their processes."
"With traditional methods, only 1 in 1,000 exploration projects become a mine. VerAI’s platform is 100 times more accurate, 20 times faster, and 20 times cheaper."
"Companies have become more concerned about their corporate image, which has forced them to follow the global standard. Much of Knight Piesold’s current work is aimed at helping the mining industry standardize its tailings deposits."
