en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's National Geology and Mining Service (Sernageomin) has launched a new Exploration Geological Information System (SIGEX) platform, automating the reception and management of mineral exploration data, in order to consolidate the national digital transformation and enhance technical efficiency standards. The system operates in accordance with the Mining Code and Supreme Decree No. 9 of 2024 of the Ministry of Mining, ensuring information compliance.

Sernageomin incorporates digital system for managing mineral exploration data

The implementation of SIGEX centralizes the submission of information between mining rights holders and the State in a unified, secure environment, reducing bureaucratic obstacles and turning subsurface knowledge into a resource available for national development. In its initial phase, the system focuses on basic data management, allowing reporting entities to submit information with greater flexibility and organization.

Mauricio Lorca, Acting Director of Sernageomin, stated that the launch of SIGEX is a key component of the institution's modernization strategy, strengthening the traceability and transparency of received geological information. By centralizing and organizing data, it promotes mineral exploration and reduces exploration risks, which is crucial for designing public policies that ensure sustainable mining development.

In addition to its regulatory role, the Service provides users with access to a historical repository of geological information from exploration projects received since 2017, through a public viewer on the institutional website. This democratization of geoscientific information provides a foundation for academia and new investors to discover new mineral deposits.

Sernageomin has invited reporting entities to use the support user guides available on the website to maximize the quality of the data provided, ensuring a smooth, complete, and technically valuable flow of information between the private sector and the State.
