Synopsis The Precious Metals Mining in Chile to
2020 report comprehensively covers the countrys
historical and forecast data on gold and silver
reserves and production to 2020. The report
also includes drivers and restraints affecting
the industry, profiles of major precious metals
mining companies, information on the major
active, exploration and development projects and
regulations governing the industry.The fiscal
regime section provides information about the
countrys regulatory authority, laws, licenses
and other fiscal regime information such as
taxes, rates and other charges applicable to the
mining of the commodity in the country. It is
an essential tool for companies active in Chilean
mining, and for new competitors considering
entering the industry.

Report OverviewChile had the worlds
fourth-largest gold and silver reserves,
according to the United States Geological Survey
(USGS), with 3,900 tonnes (t) of gold and 77,000t
of silver at the start of 2014. Chile accounted
for 2 of global gold mine production in 2013,
producing 1.7 million ounces, and was the
fourth-largest producer in Latin America. Its
silver mine production at 42.9 million ounces
accounted for 4.6 of global silver mine
production in the same year, and the country
ranked third-highest in Latin America. The El
Penon mine was by far the largest gold and
silver-producing mine with production volume of
338,200 ounces of gold and 6.5 million ounces of
silver in 2013. Over the forecast period
2014-2020, gold mine production is forecast to
increase to 5.2 million ounces, and silver mine
production to 82 million ounces.

Scope The report contains an overview of the
Chilean precious (gold and silver) metals mining
industry together with the key growth factors and
restraints affecting the industry. It also
provides information about reserves, production,
production by region, Chilean vs global mine
production, demand by end use, prices,
competitive landscape and major active,
exploration and development projects.

Key Highlights Investments in exploration in
the Chilean mining landscape were approximately
US1 billion in 2012 in both greenfield and
brownfield projects. According to the Chilean
Copper Commission, the nations mining industry
has investments worth US112.5 billion planned
over 2013-2021, of which US9.3 billion is
earmarked for gold and silver mining over
2013-2016.  Chile is the fourth-largest gold
mine producer in Latin America after Peru, Mexico
and Brazil, with production of 1.7 million ounces
in 2013. The majority of the countrys gold mine
production originates from the El Penon mine in
the Antofagasta region (338,200 ounces), the
Esperanza Project in the Antofagasta region
(237,100 ounces), and the La Coipa mine in the
Atacama region (162,400 ounces). The Chilean
mining industry overall faces two major
impediments high energy costs stemming from
insufficient generation and transmission, and
shortage of water leading to higher cost of
desalinating seawater for use at mines.
