"We conducted geotechnical research in Yanacocha and evaluated a tailings deposit within a leach pad. Introducing the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) equipment to gather detailed information on mineral characteristics was a groundbreaking initiative, marking a first in the country."
MANAGING DIRECTOR SPANISH SPEAKING LATIN AMERICA, WEIR ESCO
"By optimizing machines for faster loading, and moving larger volumes in less time, there is a notable reduction in energy consumption during the mining process."
"In Peru, we expect to reach a cruising speed with our new contracts while consistently driving internal innovation projects to remain cost-competitive."
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMERICAN EXPLORATION & MINING ASSOCIATION (AEMA)
"Relying solely on allies for our needs is no longer a viable strategy. While complete mineral independence may be challenging, responsibly utilizing our domestic resources whenever feasible is imperative."
"We have tested autonomous trucks and underground battery-driven equipment, and currently we have several open-pit drills at Carlin operating autonomously."
PRESIDENT AND CEO, CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE IN MINING INNOVATION (CEMI)
"The evolving role of mining, from a previously overlooked sector to now being considered a critical industry globally, underscores the need for strategic innovation and sustainable mining practices."
The Latin America Petrochemicals and Chemicals 2024 report, produced in alliance with APLA, explores the current state of these industries, the challenges they face, and the opportunities they offer.
