Chile, the world’s No. 1 copper producer and one of the top lithium suppliers, is expected to attract about $60 billion in new mines and expansions over the next 20 years, the country’s minister of mining says.<\/p>\n

According to Aurora Williams, miners with operations in the country currently spend $15 billion on support services a year, so the government has set an ambitious goal of helping locals to become providers for the industry.<\/p>\n

Chile aims to form 250 world-class suppliers expected to export $10 billion by the end of the next decade.<\/p>\n

The target, she says, it to have 250 world-class suppliers providing innovative solutions around the world and exporting $10 billion by the end of the next decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nature of mining has changed dramatically in recent years as the industry gets to grips with some of the major challenges it faces,\u201d Williams says. \u201cAs a country we have identified some of those key challenges, [which] we would like to address through the development of new technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister says some the issues Chile needs to address include transitioning from open-pit to underground mining, improving the efficiency of smelters and refineries, mitigating mine tailings, boosting productivity and efficiency of mines, and enhancing the efficiency of mineral processing.<\/p>\n

The country, which holds half of the world’s most \u201ceconomically extractable\u201d reserves of lithium, climbed back up to the top ten global mining destinations the Fraser Institute, a Canadian think-tank, publishes each year<\/a>. The nation now leads the list in Latin America and is in eight place worldwide.<\/p>\n
