"Projects are going to get bigger and more expensive due to the amount of rock we have to mine and move around to produce the copper needed to meet the demand, especially as ore grades are declining."
“Our goal is that by the end of 2023 we have advanced, through high quality exploration, both our Laguna Blanca and Jemi to a point where they are ready for preliminary economic assessments (PEAs).”
“We would like exploration to open the door to new developments, so we aim to make the necessary regulatory changes to increase legal certainty for those who are willing to invest in exploration.”
"Just by developing known reserves, even without exploration success, Chile can increase its copper production by around 2 million t/y and its lithium production by around 1 million t/y."
"ME Elecmetal is working on several initiatives with mining companies to make changes to processes and products, such as upgrades to mill liners that allow mining operations to run more safely and efficiently."
