As the largest copper-producing country in the world, Chile is home to major mining companies, engineering firms and equipment suppliers. Research at both academic and professional levels is ever increasing. Expectations for total investment in the mining industry for the next ten years are close to USD100 billion, making Chile not only attractive due to current activity in mining but also because of the large portfolio of projects occurring in the country.
