Exploration Forum
The increasing demand for minerals, driven by the global shift towards renewable energy sources, requires more mining. To meet this need, we can boost the output of current mining projects, or explore and extract from new mineral deposits.

The purpose of the 2024 Exploration Forum is to discuss emerging projects in Chile, which will allow us to respond to the future demand for critical minerals and analyze the main exploration trends, their challenges, and the development of other strategic minerals’ potential for the productive diversification of our country.

VI Sustainability Seminar: “Social Value in Mining”
Today, mining companies are responsible for identifying and strengthening the links between productivity and socioeconomic development in the territories where they operate, creating value for society, the environment, their collaborators, and communities. This must be translated into tangible measures that promote transparency and collaboration.

This seminar invites you to reflect on the mining sector´s role and interaction with the territory and communities. How has it evolved? What national and international initiatives are generating positive changes? What challenges and gaps must we overcome? How do innovation and technology help us to enhance our relationship with the environment? These are some of the questions we will discuss to strengthen the development of more responsible mining that meets current demands.

1st Meeting of Technologies for Sustainability
The current challenges of the mining industry drive an increasingly active search for innovation in its processes. The efforts are varied and interdisciplinary, not only from the mining companies themselves, but also from product and service providers, academia, innovation centers, consulting firms, and others. All in line with the same purpose: more and better mining for the country and the world.

This first meeting of technologies for sustainability seeks to make visible and promote the efforts of the mining ecosystem to position the country as a center of knowledge, and a leader in the development of technologies for mining that is socially and environmentally responsible with the environment.
