Decreto Ley 600
Decreto Ley 600 is a Chilean law issued by the Government Junta of Chile in July 1974 to establish a new regulatory framework for direct foreign investment aiming to attract investment to Chile. It is considered an important milestone in the transformation of the Chilean economy that led it to become more export-oriented, and was reportedly also parto of the rise of "neoliberalism" in the country. Most investment in mining done under the regime of Decreto Ley 600 came from the companies based in the United States. The favourable condictions established by Decreto Ley 600 attracted the companies Falconbridge and Superior Oil which formed the joint venture Consorcio de Exploración Doña Inés in the 1970s which explored for mineral resources in the Quebrada Blanca area in northern Chile. Later the efforts of Consorcio de Exploración Doña Inés were directed at what was to become the Collahuasi mine. Other companies that begun investing in Chilean mining in the framework establi ...

Pirquinero
In Chile and nearby areas of Argentina and Bolivia a () is a miner who extracts minerals in a traditional manner and is usually independent. A charactistic of the is that they are involved in a wide range of stages of the production including mineral prospecting, extraction and processing. The activity is typically associated with low capital investments and the use of rudimentary technology. There are that work on gold, copper and, in the localities of south-central Chile of Coronel and Lota, coal. The Norte Chico region of Chile is historically the place with most intense activity.

HAL (open Archive)
HAL (short for ''Hyper Articles en Ligne'') is an open archive where authors can deposit scholarly documents from all academic fields. Documents in HAL are uploaded either by one of the authors with the consent of the others or by an authorized person on their behalf. An uploaded document does not need to have been published or even to be intended for publication. As an open access repository, HAL complies with the Open Archives Initiative (OAI-PMH) as well as with the European '' OpenAIRE'' project. HAL was started in 2001 by Franck Laloë, initially at École normale supérieure (ENS), and was later transferred to the (CCSD); other French institutions, such as Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Inria), have joined the system. While it is primarily directed towards French academics, participation is not restricted to them.

Fundición Altonorte
Fundición Altonorte or Complejo Metalúrgico Altonorte is a copper smelter plant in La Negra, 25 km southeast of the city of Antofagasta in northern Chile. Owned by Glencore, it is classified as a "custom smelter" as it does not depend on ore concentrate from a particular mine nor does it lie next to one. In 2015 it had a capacity to produce 350,000 metric tons of copper yearly making it the third largest of Chile's seven copper smelters. This capacity made Fundición Altonorte one of the world's 20 largest copper smelters. Besides copper Fundición Altonorte also produces sulphuric acid. By 2023 it operated with 750 employees and 323 employees from contractors. Its CEO is Juan Carrasco Palma. The smelter was established in 1993 and was by then known as Refimet. In 1998 its property was fully acquired by Noranda and it changed name to Fundición Altonorte, and in 2006 Glencore gained total ownership of it. Reportedly, the initial investment in the smelter came as result of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Noranda Mines
Noranda Mines, Limited, and from 1984 onwards Noranda Inc., was a mining and metallurgy company originally from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. It was listed on the TSX under the symbol NRD.LV. After eventually acquiring a large interest in rival mining company Falconbridge, it merged with that company in 2005. The combined company continued under the name Falconbridge Limited, ending the Noranda name. Only one year later in 2006 Falconbridge was acquired by the Swiss-based mining company Xstrata. On 2 May 2013 ownership of Xstrata was fully acquired by mining behemoth Glencore. History and operations Noranda was incorporated in 1922 as Noranda Mines under the leadership of James Y. Murdoch to exploit the Horne deposit, discovered by Edmond Henry Horne on mineral claims he staked in 1920 near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Extraction of copper began on 17 December 1927. Although extraction was originally predicted to last for only three years, additional reserves (the gigantic "Giant H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Copper Mining
Copper extraction is the multi-stage process of obtaining copper from list of copper ores, its ores. The conversion of copper ores consists of a series of physical, chemical, and electrochemical processes. Methods have evolved and vary with country depending on the ore source, local environmental law, environmental regulations, and other factors. The copper smelters with the highest production capacity (metric tons of copper yearly) lie in China, Chile, India, Germany, Japan, Peru and Russia. China alone has over half of the world's production capacity and is also the world's largest consumer of refined copper. Precious metals and sulfuric acid are often valuable by-products of copper refining. Arsenic is the main type of impurity found in copper concentrates to enter smelting facilities. There has been an increase in arsenic in copper concentrates over the years since shallow, low-arsenic copper deposits have been progressively depleted. History Prehistory The Old Copper Compl ...

Disputada De Las Condes
The Los Bronces mine is a large copper mine located in central Chile, on the border of the Santiago Metropolitan Region and the Valparaíso Region. The processing plant is located at 3,300 m above sea level, with mining operations extending up to 4200 m above sea level. Los Bronces represents one of the largest copper reserves in Chile Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in western South America. It is the southernmost country in the world and the closest to Antarctica, stretching along a narrow strip of land between the Andes, Andes Mountains and the Paci ... and in the world having estimated reserves of 3.13 billion tonnes of ore grading 0.32% copper. Mineralization at Los Bronces is thought to be due to its position at the intersection of two large fault systems. This favoured the rise of magma and the subsequent circulation of mineral-rich fluids. In Los Bronces, formerly known as Disputada de Las Condes, a mining folklore tells of man known as "El Fu ...

Los Pelambres
Los Pelambres mine is a copper mine located in the north-central of Chile in Coquimbo Region. It is one of the largest copper reserves in the world, having estimated reserves of 4.9 billion tonnes of ore grading 0.65% copper. The deposit was first recognized by Willian Burford Braden in 1920. Production in 2012 was forecast at 390 tons of copper and 28,000 ounces of gold. The mine is served by Los Pelambres Airport, and by a water desalination facility at Los Vilos. A billion-dollar expansion project is underway. Geology The Upper Miocene tonalite stock is a north-south oriented oval, 4.5 by 2.4 km in size, which has undergone hydrothermal alteration. The stock intruded into andesitic host rocks. Glaciation during the Pleistocene carved the U-shaped Los Pelambres valley. The head of the valley has the highest concentration of ore in a roche moutonnee. A core of potassium silicate alteration contains the economic copper-molybdenum mineralization.

Direct Foreign Investment
A foreign direct investment (FDI) is an ownership stake in a company, made by a foreign investor, company, or government from another country.
