Nine lines, four stages, one subject
All of them are forms of the same thing: territorial asset management, interference analysis, territorial compatibility, long-term planning and territorial intelligence. Each is described by what it produces and by the framework that governs it.
Know
Territorial intelligence: what is really on the ground, beyond the map.Territorial Intelligence
Core lineCorporate GISRemote sensing
Why does every department have different data on the same asset?
Information systems that answer decision questions, rather than accumulating layers.
What is included · 6 deliverables
Territorial asset inventory
Survey of the full portfolio, with the validity, obligations and documentary source of every element.
Corporate GIS
Territorial data structure, standards and governance of spatial information.
Technical cartography
Project and facility cartography for regulatory filings, with stated scale and accuracy.
Accessibility and travel times
Real isochrones from the operation to towns and communities: what is within daily-return distance, by which road and with what actual travel time.
Satellite monitoring
Detection of surface change, occupation and construction progress through remote sensing.
Territorial dashboards
The portfolio and its constraints, visible to the committee that decides.
Fit
Interference and territorial compatibility: whether the project can coexist with what exists and with what is coming.Territorial Interference and Compatibility
Core lineTerritorial Compatibility AnalysisWill this site still be viable in ten years?
The space was available; the territory was not. We assess whether a siting decision remains valid in five, ten or twenty years.
What is included · 8 deliverables
Territorial Compatibility Analysis
Inventory, overlay, time projection, interference detection and recommendation. The full method, documented step by step.
Assessment of siting alternatives
Comparison of candidate sites against current and future constraints, not only technical feasibility.
Siting validity period
How many years a siting decision remains valid before it runs into conflict. A number, not an impression.
Portfolio interference diagnosis
Where and when growth projects, committed infrastructure and current constraints collide.
Territorial due diligence
Liabilities, contingencies and constraints before an acquisition or investment decision.
Territorial footprint of the mine plan
The mining sequence converted into ground occupied year by year: pit, waste dumps, stockpiles and infrastructure, cross-checked against titles, easements and permits.
Safeguarding future resources
A check that waste dumps, storage facilities and infrastructure do not sit on the economic envelopes the deposit may reach. What is built over ore is paid for twice.
Territorial review of the mine plan
Whether the plan can be executed on the ground and within the timeframes it assumes: what land, rights and permits each period requires, and which are not yet in place.
Territorial Risk and Operational Continuity
Disaster risk managementOperational continuity
If the only access road is cut tomorrow, how many days can the operation keep running?
The emergency plan describes today's risk. We tell you where the operation is exposed, how long the response takes to arrive, and when that risk changes as the mine plan advances.
What is included · 7 deliverables
Natural hazards
Debris flows, landslides, flooding and seismicity affecting facilities, camps and critical routes.
Exposure of critical infrastructure
Which asset is exposed to which hazard, which section of pipeline, power line or road has no redundancy, and which part of the operation depends on it.
Access redundancy
What happens to the workforce, supplies and evacuation if a route is cut for several days, and which alternative really exists on the ground.
Response times
Isochrones from each work front to medical centres, support bases and assembly points: how long it really takes to attend an injured or ill person.
Cartography for emergency plans
Operational maps, evacuation routes, safe zones and assembly points, with the territorial information the plan requires and in the format responders use.
Geospatial support for incident management
A territorial base and dashboards for the control centre: where it happens, what is around it, who is exposed and how to get there.
Exposure window
How the operation's exposure changes as the pit, waste facilities and climate scenario advance. Risk projected through time, not a snapshot of the study year.
Enable
Assets and regulation: what it takes to make the project possible in practice.Mining Property and Easements
Core lineChilean Mining CodeDecree Law 2,186
Which concessions expire this year, and who is watching?
The concession exists on a map, but the project happens on someone's land. That gap is where months are lost.
What is included · 5 deliverables
Mining property register
Survey and verification of exploration and exploitation concessions, validity and overlaps.
Title analysis
Chain of title, surveys, maintenance status and risk of forfeiture.
Mining easements
Affected properties, owners and a route to constitution prioritised by criticality.
Surface and subsurface compatibility
Conflicts between surface ownership, mining concessions and existing occupation.
Portfolio administration
The portfolio of concessions and rights managed with expiry dates, maintenance payments and obligations in view.
Land Management and Territorial Regularisation
SII cadastreReal Estate Registrar
Ministry of National Assets
Does the land the operation occupies match what the SII, the Real Estate Registrar and National Assets say?
A project's territorial base is spread across registers that do not talk to each other. We deliver the difference between what those registers say and what exists on the ground, and what to do about it.
What is included · 8 deliverables
Land diagnosis
Cadastral inconsistencies, overlapping tax rolls, unregularised properties and infrastructure built across several rolls, in a single inventory.
Reconciliation of registers
Cross-check between the SII tax roll, the Registrar's entry and the actual occupation measured on the ground. The deliverable is a gap map: where they do not match, how much land is affected and what to regularise first.
Public land tenure
Use concessions, leases and allocations from the Ministry of National Assets, with expiry dates and obligations. In the north, much of the land mining occupies is state-owned.
Boundary georeferencing
Validation of vertices, boundaries and areas, and the technical information each regularisation procedure requires.
Regularisation of tax rolls
Merging, subdivision and updating of rolls, with a prior assessment of whether it is worth acting. Coordinated with line 06.
Municipal and sectoral permits
Territorial background for permitting, and compatibility with zoning plans and land-use regulations.
Territorial conditions for the workforce
Which services and facilities exist at each work front and not only in the corporate standard, what distance and travel time the location imposes, and what the contract requires of contractors in their own facilities.
Corridors and access
Logistics routes, service strips and rights of use, with continuity over the life of the asset.
Territorial Tax Optimisation
Core lineLaw 17,235Chilean Internal Revenue Service (SII)
Are we paying property tax on land we do not occupy?
Property tax is assessed on what is registered, not on what the operation actually occupies. That gap is paid every year.
What is included · 6 deliverables
Baseline of territorial tax burden
What the portfolio pays today, title by title, with the regime applicable to each. Without that reference there is no way to measure whether an action worked.
Occupied area versus registered area
Comparison between actual and projected occupation, based on available engineering, and the registered area. The difference is a surplus being paid without being used.
Review of classification and use
Whether the registered classification and use of each property and facility match actual use, and what applies when they do not.
Exposure assessment
For each opportunity, whether filing it could trigger a review of historical records against the company. When the risk outweighs the benefit, the recommendation is not to act, and it is put in writing.
Compatibility with closure commitments
Releasing land or relinquishing rights may clash with measures already committed in the closure plan. This is checked before recommending, not after.
Preparation of applications
A complete file for submission to the SII or another agency: documents, forms, plans and letters, to the standard required when dealing with public administration.
Environmental and Regulatory Assessment
Law 19,300Supreme Decree 40/2012
ILO Convention 169
Does this project change require entry into the environmental assessment system (SEIA)?
Permitting with an eye on the timeline, not only on the file.
What is included · 4 deliverables
Inputs for environmental impact studies and statements
Territorial content and responses to observations in the SEIA process.
Sectoral permitting
Applicable permits, permitting sequence and schedule-risk analysis.
Screening for SEIA entry
Assessment of whether a project change needs to enter the system.
Territorial engagement
Participation processes and engagement with Indigenous communities under ILO Convention 169.
Close
Long-term planning: how the asset ends, decided from the day operations begin.Mine Closure Planning
Law 20,551Supreme Decree 41/2012
Does the closure plan match the operation we have today?
Closure is not the last chapter of the operation: it is a variable planned from the day operations begin.
What is included · 6 deliverables
Closure planning
Closure integrated into the mine plan: closure units, sequence and milestones over the life of the operation.
Preparation of closure plans
General and simplified regimes: characterisation, measures by facility and implementation schedule.
Five-yearly update
Adjustment of remaining life and measures, with the change traceable against the previous version.
Partial and progressive closure
Definition of units and implementation during operations, to reduce accumulated liability.
Compliance audit
Progress against commitments and detection of gaps before inspection.
Mine plan and closure plan reconciled
Mine life, progressive closure sequence and financial assurance calculated on the same mine plan the operation uses, and reviewed when that plan changes.
Water, Energy and Climate Change
DGASEIA
Law 21,305
Law 21,455
What happens to the water when the operation stops?
Three accounts that the authority and financiers scrutinise closely, and which underpin much of the environmental file and the closure plan. Delivered with specialists from our network.
What is included · 5 deliverables
Site water balance
Inflows, outflows, recirculation, evaporation and infiltration, with the uncertainty of each term stated.
Water balance for closure and post-closure
Hydrological behaviour of facilities once operations stop: drainage, residual ponds and chemical stability.
Energy balance
Consumption by process and system, energy baseline and control variables.
Emissions inventory and decarbonisation pathway
Scopes 1, 2 and 3 with explicit boundaries, and measures prioritised by abatement cost.
Climate adaptation and compliance
Measures integrated into the closure plan and operations, and obligations under the Framework Law on Climate Change.
Three ways of working together
Capacity for a defined assignment, a speciality the internal team does not hold, or ongoing support through a monthly block of hours.
