KEY TAKEAWAYS The routes into the mining business are sometimes unorthodox, generally due to the multi-varied facets of the business. Everything from finance to administration to geology and exploration are routes in. Being in a mining-friendly jurisdiction always helps when planning and strategising an exploration project. Chile is home to four of the world's largest copper mines, one of which the flagship copper concerns in the world. Mining can be used as a force for good, despite the public perception at times. Elements such as harvesting drinking water for drought-hit communities is helping to reestablish mining as a force for good.
