What types of businesses should apply?
Export-ready Victorian METS companies with an interest in exploring opportunities in Latin America are encouraged to apply.
Why Expomin?
Expomin is the largest mining show in Latin America. The show enables engagement with clients and partners to contribute to the deployment of technologies and innovation to increase the productivity, safety and environmental sustainability of mining processes.
Five years since the last in-person Expomin show, the 2023 edition is expected to attract 50,000 visitors from around the world and mobilise USD$1 billion in business.
Why Chile?
Chile is the world’s top copper producer and a leading source of lithium, molybdenum, iodine and rhenium.
Australian miners have a strong presence in the market, with BHP’s Escondida mine leading the space in terms of size and output. Other major players with operations in Chile include Anglo American, Glencore, Freeport McMoRan, Antofagasta Minerals, Barrick, Kinross, Yamana, Lundin and others.
The mining investment pipeline in Chile for 2022-2031 is valued at USD$73,655 million (COCHILCO, 2022). Victorian and other Australian METS have a strong track record and a good reputation in the Chilean mining market.
