"We have made great efforts to bring the project as strong as possible. We have redesigned several times and we have conducted three rounds of face-to-face consultations with communities in the region, trying to project our company as one of the most modern and efficient in the world, consolidating commitments and our contribution to Tarapacá and the country for the next 20 years. "said Jorge Gómez, CEO of a mining company.
The project considers investments of around US $ 3,200 million in 5 years, and will enable it to preserve almost 19 thousand direct and indirect jobs that it generates. In addition, the company said that they would need around 2 thousand additional people who would be gradually integrated into the construction phase.
