Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The mining sector is of major importance to the economy of Chile.
Although dominated by copper - Chile is the world's leading
producer - its production of potassium and sodium nitrate, gold,
silver, rhenium, lithium iodine, molybdenum, boron and selenium,
for example, is significant. Prominent representatives of the
international minerals industry have contributed the papers that
appear in Mining Latin America/Mineria Latinoamericana, the volume
that lends its name to the conference organized by the Institution
of Mining and Metallurgy, in association with the Instituto de
Ingenieros de Minas de Chile, the Sociedad Nacional de Mineria
Chilena and Latinomineria being held in Santiago de Chile in May,
1994. This book should be of interest to mining engineers,
geotechnical engineers, geologists, and mineralogists.
In November, 1986, the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy held
the 'Mining Latin AmericalMineria Latinoamericana' conference in
Chile - a conference covering a broad range of topics relevant to
South America and, in that sense, complementary to its regional
'Asian Mining' and 'African Mining' series of events. This first
conference proved to be a resounding success and confirmed that
Chile, in particular, and South America, in general, were indeed
ideal for the Institution in the pursuit of its objective of
disseminating information related to the international minerals
industry. In relation to South America, the Chilean conference was
followed, in 1988, by that entitled 'Silver - exploration, mining
and treatment', * which was held in Mexico City; in February, 1995,
Caracas will host the 'Mineral resources of VenezuelalRecursos
minerales de Venezuela' conference, serious planning for which is
under way as I write. The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, in
association with the Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas de Chile,
Mineria Chilena and Latinomineria agreed that the second 'Mining
Latin AmericalMineria Latinoamerica' conference should be held,
again in Santiago, in May, 1994, on the occasion of the 1994
Expomin show, which had been been particularly successful in
attracting visitors from mining countries worldwide in 1992 and
which will continue, at two-yearly intervals, to the year 2000 and,
no doubt, beyond.
