One of Latin America's principal mining countries, Chile leads the world in copper production and export. Chile also produces significant amounts of gold and silver, and as a result, mining generates nearly half of Chile's export revenue.
It's no surprise, then, that Chile has emerged as a key target for foreign mining and exploration investment. The country's modern infrastructure, pro-mining regulatory environment, market-oriented economy and vast tracts of highly-prospective ground attract mining companies from around the world.
The recent surge in metal prices, particularly for copper, have given Chile the fastest-growing economy in South America and provided additional incentive to attract companies with the skills and funding to find new mineral deposits.
