en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's Ministry of Mining has approved 51 projects under the framework of the PAMMA 2026 Production Launch Program, aimed at enhancing the productivity of small metal and non-metal mines between the Arica and Los Ríos regions. This tender, the first of the year, allocates a total of over 495 million pesos, with the Atacama Region receiving 198 million pesos for 20 projects.

Mining Undersecretary Álvaro González stated: "As the mining promotion department, we must contribute to improving the production conditions of small-scale and artisanal miners in Chile. Therefore, the implementation and execution of the PAMMA program, particularly the PAMMA Production Launch line, is an important component in supporting small producers to carry out activities such as extraction, excavation, and safety works." This edition of the tender received 170 applications, demonstrating interest in the non-reimbursable subsidy of up to 10 million pesos.

The Ministry of Mining is also calling on the industry to prepare for subsequent PAMMA tenders, involving equipment and development lines aimed at increasing output through modernization. Participation in subsequent tenders requires the preparation of documents including mining and closure plans, tax records, proof of economic activity, proof of average sales, identification documents, legal entity certification, labor and social security background certificates, mining licenses, proof of mining property ownership, and formal equipment quotations.
