Explore our project criteria

  1. Early stage

    Greenfield projects

    Prospective areas requiring targeted exploration and the creation of a technical foundation for further development.

  2. Technical evaluation

    Projects with an established geological dataset

    Assets requiring further geological and technical work to support a conceptual or preliminary economic assessment and define a clear route to implementation.

  3. Pilot stage

    Projects progressing toward production

    Assets requiring validation of the process flowsheet and operating parameters at pilot or demonstration scale.

  4. Expansion and optimisation

    Brownfield and operating projects

    Projects where new engineering and technological solutions can improve recovery, throughput or production scale.

Asset selection

Knowledge of Chilean geology and the local market enables the Group to identify promising early-stage projects and assess their potential before a comprehensive technical dataset has been assembled.

Exploration

We identify priority areas and concentrate mapping, sampling, geophysics and drilling where new data can have the greatest impact on the project’s further development.

Engineering solutions

We develop a practical mining and processing model that reflects ore characteristics, infrastructure, production capacity and the potential for subsequent scale-up.

Process and production efficiency

For new projects, we define a technically substantiated processing route; for operating assets, we identify solutions to improve recovery, throughput and overall production efficiency.

Development framework

Asset formation

Rights & project structure

We review prospective assets, the legal status and configuration of concessions, and the rights required for acquisition, consolidation or project cooperation.

  • Asset review
  • Concession rights
  • Consolidation

Geological foundation

Exploration & evaluation

We review historical materials and previous work, carry out field investigations and progressively refine our understanding of the geological setting and mineralisation.

  • Geological data
  • Targeted exploration
  • Technical assessment

Project development

Technical & operational planning

We define a technically viable development concept based on the characteristics of the mineralised material, the anticipated project scale, infrastructure, logistics and permitting requirements.

  • Mining & processing
  • Infrastructure
  • Permitting requirements

Implementation

Preparation for production

For projects that have reached the required level of maturity, we establish an operating model and create the technical, organisational and commercial conditions required for pilot-scale operations or commercial production.

  • Pilot operations
  • Operational planning
  • Commercial arrangements

Each project advances according to its stage and the available technical evidence.
