Mauro Mezzano, Co-CEO of Vantaz Group, participated in this tour organized by AndesMets, which aimed to promote the internationalization of mining suppliers, and accompany them in their immersion and knowledge of new markets.
Before leaving, Mezzano spoke to CNN Chile, where he commented on the current outlook for Chilean mining and indicated that “it is important that mining suppliers that have export potential do so. Today only 5% of mining supplier companies have revenues outside Chile”.
Mezzano also pointed out that our country has a great opportunity to export mining know-how and in this sense he emphasized that “we feel that we are exporting cathodes and concentrate, and in some way, we can definitely export human capital, technology and innovation made in Chile”. He added that “in the entire mining value chain, there are very innovative suppliers, in biotechnology, in all areas”. For the Co-CEO of Vantaz, the comparative advantage of Chilean companies is that they have developed knowledge in a very deep market. During the mission, Mauro Mezzano visited the operations of Vantaz Group in Australia, an office opened 16 years ago in the oceanic country. This opening was a milestone that allowed the consulting firm to enter one of the world's main mining markets. The Australian Vantaz team, led by Gary Warden, actively participated in the tour, which was dominated by an exchange of experiences between both markets, with a special focus on collaboration and innovative ideas.
For his part, Carlos Foxley emphasized that in our country, Vantaz Group will continue to promote meetings in 2024 to share knowledge and perspectives among the main players in the mining industry. We invite you to stay in touch.
