National Center for Technology Pilots in Mining

This center focuses on detecting, promoting and developing new technologies for mining. These are then tested at the Center under nearly realistic conditions using methodologies and technical capacities that make it possible to validate very valuable innovative products with a great deal of market potential. Products obtain an industry-recognized certification that speeds up their implementation process. The Center receives support from CORFO.
