A sample of how we walk with our clients from challenge to result.
An Asian investor needed to understand the regulatory framework, key players and reputational risks before committing capital to a copper project in northern Chile.

ESTRIBOR ANALYSIS
The Atacama desert offers some of the best solar radiation on the planet. Small and mid-scale projects are gaining ground over large plants, offering more predictable returns and shorter development times.
ESTRIBOR ANALYSIS
Chile holds the world's largest lithium reserves, but tapping them faces tensions between private concessions and political pressure for greater state participation. The sector needs regulatory clarity to attract foreign investment.
ESTRIBOR ANALYSIS
Chile's mining industry is eager to use green hydrogen to facilitate decarbonization. BNamericas talks to Javier Jara, former deputy director of Sernageomin, about the prospects and challenges of turning Chile into a global GH2 hub.
BNAMERICAS
Excessive dependence on mineral concentrate exports can expose the mining industry to international price volatility. Boosting smelting capacity in Chile can diversify the economy by exporting higher value-added products.
BNAMERICAS
It is not a sign of optimism yet: what Chile needs is greater investment in discovering new copper deposits and unlocking lithium production. Government management has been rather weak on long-term public policy.
