Actors that take part in the sustentabilidad of

the small minera

Chile requires of a vision on the minera, 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
minera, the actors that influence in the development and
sustentabilidad are the following:

ENAMI

MINISTRY OF HEALTH
CORESEMIN

Thanks to all these actors can analyse the weaknesses of the

sustentabilidad of the small minera in chile and how can solve it in
short, average and long term.

ENAMI: National company of minera:

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 Minera,
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 minera 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

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 minera 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 fomento
The 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 minera that sector of producers that sell or
benefit until 10.000 TMS monthly of mineral.

The program has five main components:

Recognition of
Resources
and/or
Reservations
and Mining
Planning.

Technical
assistance.

Development
of Competitive
Capacities

Studies
Distritales.

Support to the
Constitution of
Mining
Property

Ministry of minera
The Ministry of Minera has like institutional mission Design, difundir
and fomentar political miners of our country, that incorporate the
sustentabilidad and the technological innovation, to end of maximizar
the contribute sectorial to the economic development, environmental
and social of the country.

PAMMA

1. Recognition of resources and/or reservations:

it is an
instrument of fomento mining that allows to diminish the risk of
the mining business and has like objective award financiamiento
to support the development of a project or mining business ,
which has to be viable from the technical and economic point of
view.
Field of action: the program is oriented to determine resources
and/or mining reservations through the execution of mining works
and/or sondajes and to formulate the design and the planning of the

project of exploitation, that conform the base for the development of

a mining business sustentable in the time.
2.

Budgetary investment development distrital: Lto entity

generates investments with the mission to expand, develop and
support to the small minera. (See investments in annex.)

3. Technical assistance: it has by objective support the

and/or asesora skilled linked to the project, with the purpose to
facilitate the execution of the projects and/or improve his
productivity.
Field of action: Lace asesoras or skilled consultings that ataen to
the instrument contemplate the following activities:

Asesora In matter of mining property

Asesora geolgica And/or topographical

4. PAMMA: It is a Program of the Ministry of Minera whose objective

is to work directly with the Mining/ace Artesanales of our country
after consolidating the emprendimiento mining like approach of
development in the activity for a better quality of life.
The PAMMA supports to the miner artesanal with three instruments:

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 Minera-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.
In the plane asociativo, this focaliza his effort in those miners
artesanales agrupados gremial or commercially. His aim is to
generate economies of scale through the use of common
equipments and like this improve his conditions of security,
competitiveness and stability inside the mining business.

2. Qualification. By means of courses of qualification designed

and implemented along the country according to the needs
detected with the miners artesanales. Specifically these last 2
years the program has established the challenge to strengthen
the area of the security in the subsector, posing the aim to
install the concept of security and car taken 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 Minera 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 N 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 Minera along the country.
