  • 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. Chile ranked first in lithium, first in revisions. Under this law, foreign investment must be approved rhenium, and third in molybdenum. by the Government’s foreign investment committee.

    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.

  • Chapter 3 Case Study
    CHAPTER 3 CASE STUDY CAPTER 3. CASE STUDY 1. Objective The case study is aimed at investigating the management of enterprises related to the mining industry and discussing issues on management and technical aspects in Armenia. The study will promote privatization and introduce foreign investment and environmental protection. 2. Target Selection and Investigation Method 2-1 Target Mine and Smelter The Kajaran, Agarak and Kapan mines were the possible targets nominated by the Armenia counterpart as state owned enterprises for the case study (as of July 2003). A mining complex was selected among these three mines for the case study based on the selection criteria on the following page. On the other hand, the Alaverdi Smelter, the only copper smelter in Armenia, was already privatized. As above described, it is necessary to point out the issues regarding the Alaverdi smelter clearly and make a clear solution of the issues. If it were impossible to make this point clear, the promotion program for copper industry in Armenia would be not examined concretely. Therefore, the Alaverdi smelter is also selected as a case study facility related to the mining industry. At the same time, possibility of copper production in Armenia is discussed and an action program is proposed. 2-2 Selection Criteria and its Result Before the preliminary field survey, the selection items were discussed and established with the Armenian side. The items are the criteria to select a state owned mining enterprise among three mining complexes for the target of the case study. As the basic items of the national mines, management policy, business strategy, long–term plan, finance analysis, sales strategy, market, ore deposit and reserves, mining method, productivity, break-even cost, investment in plant and equipment, environment protection and investment in ecology were selected, showing in Table 3-2-1.

Av. Ignacio de la Roza y Meglioli. 5400 San Juan, Argentina. 2Subsecretaría de Medio Ambiente, Gobierno de la Provincia de San Juan. Av Ignacio de la Roza y España. 5400 San Juan, Argentina. *Correspondent: [email protected] Abstract. We report a new record of Lithobates catesbeianus (American bullfrog) from Argentina. L. catesbeianus was first introduced to San Juan Province 11 years ago in Calingasta Department, where the habitat is pre-cordilleran. The new record is for Zonda Department, San Juan Province, in the Monte desert region. Here, L. catesbeianus uses artificial ponds for reproduction and tadpole development. These ponds receive water from an irrigation system that connects the whole agriculture land in the region. The tadpoles use the irrigation canals to move among ponds. We suggest that legislation should be established to prevent future invasions and to achieve sustainable management of the wild American bullfrog populations in San Juan. Prevention of future invasion and management of established populations of this species requires the cooperation of numerous stake holders. Key words: Lithobates catesbeianus, invasion, alien species, Monte desert, Argentina. Resumen. Se presenta un nuevo registro de Lithobates catesbeianus (rana toro americana) en Argentina.
