Chilean’s fast growing mine business and related industry needs stable energy supply and prices, clean produced and certified in front of carbon footprint (OECD-convention). Imported gas, oil and coal is not a long-termed solution. Whereas the Atacama-desert is prime region for renewable energy projects: Eolic energy at the coast and other favorable sites more inland. Geothermal [...]

Latinamerica is still the most popular exploration district with its 25% 0f total money spent in the world, recently informed by Metals Economic Group (MEG) in Corporate Exploration Strategies (CES). Six states represent the bulk of this region: Mexico, Chile, Peru, Brasil, Colombia and Argentina. The global budget, estimated by the organism. yields a record [...]
US$1 million assigned to Lithium Innovation Center for projects aimed at improving quality, storage, and production costs. It is estimated petroleum reserves will be run out of in about 40 years, so lithium is considered the fuel of future. Chile, notwithstanding being the largest producer of lithium in the world by concentrating 37% of offer, [...]
Chilean scientists Ramiro Arratia und Rodrigo Ramírez-Tagle from Chemistry Science Department of Andrés Bello University, Santiago explain the characteristics of rhenium salts. Mineral composition created by them to detect and attack cancerous cells (Link below, in Spanish). 52% of worldwide Rhenium-produktion came from Chile. http://noticias.unab.cl/investigacion/el-mercurio-cientificos-chilenos-descubren-que-un-mineral-detecta-el-cancer/
I’m talking about grassroot and greenfield exploration. It’s not easy to explore with persistence and continuity in a volatile world, where constant funding is rare. Financial partners will see the result in days or weeks, but not in months (or even years). Discoveries as a must, at the first sight. Exploraberg is specialist in this [...]
I am asked more frequently by foreign colleagues : Why doesn’t any solar power plant exist in Chile? It’s common knowledge in Chile that climate conditions for Solar Power are ideal in the Northern Atacama Desert. Even better than in California or Spain, where solar plants are actually installed. Is here any lack of vision or the [...]
Chilean government will take an option for nuclear energy, perhaps similar like Japan (but before Fukushima meltdown in three reactors), or even France, USA, Belgium. It fears not to fullfill and complete the mission of 20% renewable energy in 2020. Everybody says: It’s too expensive. Looks true, at first sight, if we don’t put into [...]
First week of april was signed for Chilean’s main industry, the mining sector by really important windows for opinions and discussion about the future of mining exploration activity. Like the IV International Forum from Cesco, held on 4th of april, where about one hundred of mining companies (from all scales) and institutions demonstrated their sucessfull [...]
After just two years in orbit, ESA’s GOCE satellite has gathered enough data to map Earth’s gravity with unrivalled precision. Scientists now have access to the most accurate model of the ‘geoid’ ever produced to further our understanding of how Earth works. The new geoid was unveiled today at the Fourth International GOCE User Workshop hosted [...]
