Chile Mining 2014

August 08, 2014

Chile’s mining industry has been a steadfast engine of growth due to its liberal regulation of the market, the prodigious resources in the Atacama Desert, and the high price of copper relative to the depressed prices for other minerals in recent years. Major companies have brought to bear significant international capital over the decades, but their dominance of Chile’s concessions has now stalled growth and sidelined junior partners. When the global market in mining picks up again, will Chile return to being a leading destination for investors?
