Actors that take part in the sustentabilidad of the small minería

Chile requires of a vision on the minería, that was shared by all thes actors interested, to promote in form more effective the sustainable development of the country. Regarding what respecta to the small minería, the actors that influence in the development and sustentabilidad are the following:

ENAMI MINISTRY OF MINERIA NATIONAL COUNCIL OF PRODUCCION CLEAN (CPL) SONAMI SERNAGEOMIN MINISTRY OF HEALTH CORESEMIN

Thanks to all these actors can analyse the weaknesses of the sustentabilidad of the small minería in chile and how can solve it in short, average and long term.

ENAMI: National company of minería:

ENAMI Is a company of the State of Chile, created from the fusion of the box of mining credit and of the national company of foundries, whose mission is fomentar the development of the Small and Average Minería, offering the services of recognition of mining resources, technical assistance and crediticia, purchase, processing and commercialisation required by thousands of mining producers along the national territory. Of this form, an important productive sector, as it is the minería of lower scale, attains to access to the market of metals refinados in excellent conditions of competitiveness.

In his more than 54 years of history, ENAMI has worked permanently in the fulfillment of his mission. Today, they are cientos the producing that thanks to the permanent support of this company can develop his activity, generating more than 20.000 direct employments and contributing to the development of economies of scale to local and national level.

Mission and strategy

Mission: ENAMI has by object fomentar the development of the minería of small and average scale, offering the services required to access to the market of metals refinados, in conditions of competitiveness.

Strategy: To fulfil with his object, ENAMI masses his accionar in the management prioritaria of three areas insustituibles, because of which spoke of a “table of three legs”:

1. The Fomento of the minería small and average.2. Processing of the minerals in Plants of Profit and Foundry.3. The Commercial activity that allows to place the products in the markets

globalizados in conditions very favourable for the small and average providers of the company.

Program of fomentoThe programs realised by ENAMI  have by aim” fomentar the mining  activity so much small and average scale, improving his competitiveness through the provision of services in all the stages of the chain of value of the value of the mining business, focalizando the efforts mainly in the segment of mining employers that have an objective probability of feasibility, with such to create the structural conditions for his development sustentable”.

For these effects, will understand by small minería that sector of producers that sell or benefit until 10.000 TMS monthly of mineral.

The program has five main components:

Ministry of minería

Recognition of Resources and/or Reservations and Mining Planning.

Technical assistance.

Development of Competitive Capacities

Studies Distritales. Support to the Constitution of Mining Property

1.  Financiamiento Of projects. It supports individual initiatives and asociativas oriented to the fomento of the Subsector mining artesanal characterised by the high vulnerability of the familiar entry of the distinct sectors. The actions of this component execute in direct coordination with the National Company of Minería-ENAMI. In the individual plane, the program focaliza his work in miners artesanales that possess productive and economic conditions to develop a job with a level semi-mechanised of exploitation, but that require of the technical support-economic to undertake in the mining business.

care through the training monitors in mining security in all the places where develops this activity to low scale. This line develop in group with the centre of qualification of the National Service of Geology and Minería SERNAGEOMIN.This line of work finds directed indistinctly to individual miners like asociativos.

3. Regularisation of Mining Jobs This line has the direct  collaboration  of diverse Regional Governments of our country through the designated Regional Bottoms of Regional Development (F.N.D.R.) And whose objective basic is to support technical and financially the regularisation of the basic requirements of the DS Nº 132 Regulation of Mining Security, regarding the obligation of the mining producers to present a project of exploitation and plan of closing for the approval of the service (Sernageomin).

The previous is a Ministerial commitment for increasing the standards of security in the exploitation of the mining activity and is gestionado by the diverse Regional Secretaries Ministerial of Minería along the country.
