Chilean mining · sourced data

All of Chilean mining in one place.

Operations, plants and tailings. Projects and permits. Companies, owners and contracts. The information exists, but it is spread across agencies and reports: we bring it together, and every figure opens the document it comes from.

Cochilco, SERNAGEOMIN, SMA, SEC, CCHEN, FNE and the miners' own reports.

Every figure opens its source

It is not a promise: it is how it is built. No number gets in without the document, and the exact place in the document, it comes from.

  • With its exact place. Page, sheet and cell or record, and the date we read it.
  • Nothing overwritten. If the source corrects a figure, we keep both and flag the change.
  • Nothing made up. If the company does not publish a figure, we say so and link the document we checked.

Who it is for

Banks, funds and analysts

Compare operations without building the spreadsheet.

  • Production, grades, recovery and costs by site, at 100% of the operation or at each owner's share.
  • What a source reports together is shown together: we never split a figure on our own.
  • Excel export with the sources sheet and the cut-off date.

Suppliers and sales teams

Know where the work will be before everyone else.

  • The project pipeline with stage, owner, region and investment.
  • Permits and the start of works reported to the authority: the sign that construction has begun.
  • Contracts with their evidence and weekly e-mail alerts.
