![Latin America continues to grow as a destination for mining investment, exploration and development, on the back of its highly prospective geology, reduced cost profile and attractive mining environment. Investment opportunities are expected to increase, as producers focus on optimization and expansion projects in countries such as Perú, Chile and Colombia.
Peruvian mining leads in Latin America in the production of gold, zinc, tin. Worldwide, it ranks second in silver production. Mining activity in Chile is expected to increase from previous years, with forecasted mining investments of more than $60 billion over the next decade.
Lately mining companies across the world are rapidly adopting the latest automation technology to modernize their operations. Some companies have seen productivity rise by 15-20 percent as they adopted new technologies [1] .
The Latin America Mining Technology and Innovation Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, mining companies, mining engineers, geologists, consultants, investors and mining solution providers to discuss the current development and innovation trends in the sector.

![“The Latin America Earthquake Impact Mitigation Summit will be hosted on 25th & 26th of June 2019 in Santiago Chile. The country is among the important earthquake prone countries worldwide: 8,094 tremors were recorded in 2017, as per the National Seismological Center of the University of Chile. The country has one of the most rigorous anti-earthquake construction codes in Latin America, and is home to leading centers in structural engineering. Chilean engineers are pioneers in upgrading and innovating preventive technologies for disaster control.
In the continent it is one of the best prepared countries in earthquake impact mitigation and anti-seismic infrastructure. Chile allocates an annual average of 1.2% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to mitigate the effects of natural catastrophes, turning itself into one of the OECD countries that invests most resources in weighing the damages caused by natural disasters and mitigating them as per report of the "Commission for Resilience against Disasters of Natural Origin"1.
Latin America Earthquake Impact Mitigation Summit, government authorities, research centers, universities, engineers, investors, architects, engineering and construction companies, technology and equipment providers, will meet with the aim of knowing the new projects and initiatives that are being developed in Latin America, better understanding the anti-seismic construction codes, and learning more about new technologies available."
