The Mineral Industry of Chile in 1999
THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF CHILE By Pablo Velasco In 1999, Chile, which continued to be the top producer and allow negotiations related to Chilean accession to NAFTA or to exporter of copper, in terms of volume and value, produced a bilateral trade agreement with the United States. about 35% of the world’s mined copper. Copper remained the A key feature of the Government of Chile’s development country’s most important export product and accounted for strategy was a welcoming attitude towards foreign investors, about 37.7% of export earnings in 1999. Chile was also one of which was embodied in the country’s foreign investment law the world’s significant producers and exporters of potassium known as Decree Law (DL) 600. DL 600 was promulgated in nitrate and sodium nitrate and ranked second after Japan in 1974 and has been made more liberal through frequent world production of iodine.

POR: Francisca Ignacia Tabilo Christoforou FECHA: 17/06/2017 PROFESOR GUÍA: Enrique Jofré Rojas ANÁLISIS DEL RIESGO POR RETRASO DE FRENTES CRÍTICAS EN EL PROYECTO NUEVO NIVEL MINA - ANDES NORTE En función de los dos principales riesgos incidentes en el término en plazo del Proyecto NNM - Andes Norte y a su programa objetivo existen dos rutas críticas, variabilidad fecha inicio producción y variabilidad puesta en marcha del sistema de manejo de minerales. Asociadas a estas dos rutas se identifican dos frentes críticas, Xc 3AS y Rampa Acceso Chancador Inferior. El objetivo de este trabajo es cuantificar el riesgo por retraso de dichas frentes críticas, determinando su impacto económico y permitiendo una mejor gestión en las medidas de control. Se realizó un levantamiento y análisis de datos para cada actividad del ciclo minero, desarrollando un modelo de simulación monofrente y validándose mediante su aplicación sobre las dos frentes críticas, generando un error menor al 3%. Se evaluó el impacto en los plazos de término, mediante el modelo evaluación de riesgo generado (VaR), obteniendo distribuciones de VAN del Proyecto para el desfase de sus dos frentes críticas. -

University of Chile, Santiago De Chile Society of Economic Geologists Student Chapter
UNIVERSITY OF CHILE, SANTIAGO DE CHILE SOCIETY OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGISTS STUDENT CHAPTER Field Trip 2016 – 2017 Santiago de Chile, September 2017 CLARIFICATION NOTE University of Chile, Santiago de Chile SEG Student Chapter clarifies that the initial field application submitted as financial assistance of Steward R. Wallace Fund, Round II, 2015 is different from what is described in this report. The original plan included visits to Minera Los Pelambres (MLP, AMSA), Minera El Soldado (MES, Angloamerican) and División Andina (DA, Codelco). However, it was impossible to get approval for visiting División Andina of Codelco (they request that all the visitors could pass a physical exam to work over 3,000 m above sea level, which costs more than US$100 per person). In addition, the visit to Minera El Soldado was scheduled for November 30, 2016. However, due to contractor workers strike and disturbs in Los Bronces operation during the second half of November, Angloamerican suspended all the visits to their operations in Chile. Therefore, we made relevant changes to the original plan, due to the shortcomings that arose and restructured our visits. We decided to visit the Cerro Negro stratabound Cu deposit, Los Pelambres and El Teniente porphyry Cu-Mo deposits. 1. INTRODUCTION The University of Chile, Santiago de Chile SEG Student Chapter is hosted in the Department of Geology of University of Chile. Activities of the student chapter involve field trips, talks and conferences with the aim of learning about the economic geology, for example, conditions for the formation of mineral deposit, tectonic environments, mineralization characteristics and metallurgical processes. -

Developing the Chilean mine into a powerhouse to meet global demand took more than importing new technologies and machinery. In fact, I found, the North American owners (Braden Copper Company), developed a mining community and implemented social engineering strategies aimed at shaping El Teniente’s labor force into the most effective and efficient in the world. -

El Teniente, Minería Del Futuro
EL TE- NIEN- TE EL TENIENTE Minería del Futuro EL TENIENTE una historia de más de un siglo El Teniente, pasado, presente y futuro INTRODUCCIÓN Cuando el inca que conquistó la fortaleza de La Compañía, en la actual comuna de Graneros, le informó a su jefe Yupanqui que los promaucaes (gente salvaje) tenían adornos y utensilios domésticos y de caza confeccionados con cobre, no podía adivinar que éstos provenían de la que sería, 500 años más tarde, la mina subterránea más grande del mundo. La audacia, el valor, el empuje y el esfuerzo de cientos de trabajadores dieron paso desde la extracción y el trabajo rudimentario, a la verdadera explotación industrial del cobre en 1905, por parte de la sociedad norteamericana Braden Copper Company, fecha en que se inicia la historia de El Teniente y de la gran minería en Chile. No exenta de dificultades y desafíos, en una constante evolución que cruza dos siglos, su producción inicial de 250 toneladas diarias, asciende a la par con el desarrollo del mineral y de la mano de sus trabajadores. 5 EL - Cuna de laTE Gran Minería NIEN- TE El Teniente, pasado, presente y futuro El Teniente ha tenido un crecimiento permanente y se ha convertido en un referente mundial en minería subterránea, destacando por su modernidad y el uso de tecnología de punta en sus operaciones. Perteneciente desde 1976 a la Corporación Nacional del Cobre –CODELCO–, es una de las Divisiones de esta empresa estatal chilena, la mayor productora del metal rojo en el mundo. Ahora, El Teniente se prepara para el futuro impulsando un nuevo desafío mi- nero que le permitirá continuar produciendo por lo menos 50 años más. -
