INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN MINING IN CHILE
Chile is well known for being leader in world copper production. International large mining companies are established in Chile. However there is room for small and medium size investors to enter in a profitable business on smaller scale. The advantage of these business, is that they are running or they take less time to put them into operation. Within a few months they are selling, if they are not already doing it at a minor scale.
However Chile is more than copper. There are good opportunities producing other metals as gold, silver and manganese ore, besides iron ore.
There is a strong demand for minerals from many sources.
FOUR PARTIES ARE NEEDED TO EXPAND SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZE MINING OPERATION
1. The mine owner
2. The plant processor
3. The investor
4. The buyer of the product
In small mining is not frequent to find the first 3 parties concentrated on the same person or company as it may happen in large mining companies. The later even may have the buyer under another name or they sell the product to refinery of the same holding.
On small mining the first three players are split, so there is the business opportunity available to investors. The business idea is to assist the company to stay small reproducing the same scale of operation on different places, then multiplying the sales rapidly. Or grow more to become a medium size player on a sole installation. On any case, the expansion of sales and revenues can grow fast.
DIFFERENT BUSINESS DEPENDING ON THE STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT
1. The Exploration business. Invest in exploration to sell the mines afterward without exploiting it.
2. Be a simple buyer of ores, without buying the mine, advancing some funds to put the mine into production, and paying for the process on another plant and selling the outcome.
3. Another business is to put into production a mine or expand the actual scale and sell the ores. You may become a partner or have a deal over the mine.
4. Install or expand a processing plant. It can be to process minerals from third parties, or to add the processing unit to an own mine. The outcome are minerals concentrate or final products, which are sold to clients.
JOINT VENTURES
There are buyers asking for minerals, but there are not enough producers. Most of large mining operations have secured contracts and nothing is available for third parties. So, one of the options to get mineral is to make a Joint Venture with the processing plant or the mine owner, wherever is needed the financial support.
We are searching for financing or investors to get engaged on this deals. There are always opportunities. Some better than others. So we would like to hear of your interest to invest. However, we only receive requests from final investors or their legal representatives. The amount to invest start on US$ 2 million up to US$ 30 million. It depends on the size of the business.
OPPORTUNITY FOR PASSIVE INVESTORS
If you don´t understand of mining, we can protect your investment as we take care of the whole business. You can start with smaller quotas of investment. We have smaller business than US$ 2 million or be a part of a larger deal.
If you contact us, we will ask for your financial information before providing hard information regarding the deals we are developing. No problem to talk, but greater knowledge of the business requires a serious investor.

WORLD ECONOMY FORECAST
I hope our policy makers around the world are better firemen than risk experts as they failed to prevent the fire from starting. They failed as risk planners.
The real fire keeps going on steady under and above our feet. It is global warming, climate change, melting of ice caps, melting of glaciers on all mountains around the world, it is unsustainable business practices everywhere. This is the real fire.
Once in a while, like a fire on a jungle, when it disappears from surface after a heavy rain, it keeps burning organic materials, debris, rotten trees and plants, buried on the ground. It works like charcoal, keeping the heat for weeks and months. Large fires on the jungle needs weeks of heavy rain and colder weather to stop the fire.
So, the real fire of our world economy will not be stop on the next decade, because we, each of us, it is a potential and active fire starter, as long as we keep our life style intensive on oil consumption. Even we stop such trend, we have already accumulated enough heat on the sky and oceans, that such heat will create many economic disasters on humanity.
Then my economic forecast is divided in three.
1. HOLD THE HEAT
We all are responsible for not taking action, so mankind as a whole will be affected. No one can feel safe, because if you are not directly affected, your friends, family, relatives, customers, employees, pals, governments, your loved animals and plants, will be affected. Water is going to be scarcer, etc. Social chaos will occur, unemployment will rise, illness and endemic diseases will cause serious troubles around the planet.
2. THE FIREMEN
You are one of the persons understanding the real cause of the economic crisis, and from whatever position in the society, you develop new solutions. Sustainability is a must for you. You work from Science, health, education, technology, social workers, government officers, etc. From any field you contribute to build a new and more sustainable society.
3. THE FIRE STARTERS
These persons are still multitude in society, some because their greed, some for ignorance, some because they like the modern comfort and don't want to understand on a personal basis the great deal of expenses Nature has to do to keep his life style. I believe most is due to a large ignorance, or due to a large mass of people thinking like a teenager, who is concerned about having a good party financed by Mother Nature and mature citizens.
Many of these people are the so called followers, they consume products. They are not really creators. If you create new products more sustainable and this is the trend, they will certainly buy them.
These people will come into chaos, when great natural disasters or large economic crisis or serious epidemics affecting their health, or large wars, may really move their asses from their comfortable coach.
INVESTORS HAVE A GREAT ROLE
Community has much to say. In particular investors who need to channel their investments to build a new civilization. Otherwise the old contaminating companies are going to be anyhow shut down due to international pressure for survival.
We need urgently to fund sustainable and renewable energies. Investors should focus on this field throughout the world at the speed of light. We can't burn more fossil fuels at the scale we do now.
Education must be renewed totally to incorporate a planetary citizenship as human achievement to be gained. Our children and youth needs urgent better education because if we don't prepare them for the critical scenario we are going to face, they are going to suffer so much.
THE FORECAST
Investors investing honestly in an holistic way are going to really benefit from being the pioneers of the new civilization. Some will loose anyway their saving attempting to create new paths, because leaders knows this may happen. But, when a great storm comes nobody will be untouched. So, for some of us, it is much better try to open the route for others and enjoy the process than just stay crying like the rest of the people.
Some investors not understanding the real degree of changes needed, will be a great trouble to build a new society. That is life. But on the critical times we are going to face, when survival of a civilized way of living is going to be in quest for hundred of millions, then polite manners probably are not going to be handy ever. Some people unfortunately pushed by desperation are going to be very violent.
So, I guess Nature and humans will diminish the price of companies and products not meeting sustainability. So, investors holding their interest to the businesses and companies that are increasing unsustainability of the planet and mankind, will suffer strong falls on the prices of their assets. They will loose their wealth.
It is task of all to act soon to fund the new solutions to push strongly ahead the economic activity of sustainable businesses. The economic recovery is feasible for such companies and economies.
Present recession is a good call for living economically saving natural resources. However are policy makers understanding the difference between the smoke of this recession and the real fire of the economic resources of the planet ?
Understanding correctly this challenge, will lead the way to increase employment and economic activity. Otherwise policy makers and investors will deepen the crisis. We could put the fire under the rag, like a fire on the jungle flooded on this case for a rain of dollars from Central Banks and Governments. However, if we don't understand the causes of the real fire, this is going to start again on a year or two, with stronger damages as we will not have enough rain of dollars available, as we used most of them on present crisis.
So, the world economy cycle is something longer than a year, and I am afraid policy makers are using most of our reserves of waters to fight just one emerging flame of the subtle real fire. We can't do that. Real firemen wait until enough materials has been burned to attack the real source of the fire.
So, I hope investors reading this article may take wiser decisions as Governments are not really understanding the scenario. Truly speaking investors neither understood it, because the flames started on their backyard as large corporations and banks came into bankruptcy.
GOVERMENTRUPTCY
But it will be a much serious issue if a large government may be in danger of bankruptcy or governmentruptcy, a new word I hope we don't need to use. But I am afraid some countries will be near such risks. My words shouldn't be taken lightly as USA is having a huge fiscal deficit and the governmental debts of some countries is far beyond the production of the government in relation to the Gross National Products of such states. In some cases the government foreign debt is close to the total national product of such country.
The demand for funds will be so high on the next years from different governments and companies, that some will not be funded totally. So, social unrest will grow. Then political turmoil. Change of governments will be certain. However ruling under scarcity is not a real easy task for any leader. Then clearly, economic troubles of today are at a lower scale of potential troubles for many countries. We are facing the easiest stage of the recession, because countries haven't started social unrest neither governmental changes are due to the present recession.
Developed nations have many resources, but monetary emissions are growing here and there. So, large currency variations are expected to happen. The expectation of the public are critical.
Educated people from the planet is expecting a more sustainable economic development. If world leaders take this path, then they will be backed up by the public and investors. If the governments don't guide their nation toward sustainability they should loose the trust of their fellow citizens and the trust of the international community as well as the financing from investors. As we live in a global and interdependent world, contaminating nations also affect the rest of mankind. So, the sooner such governments are forced to change policies, the better. Or otherwise, their countries are going to be isolated from the international community.
The economic change toward a new civilization is underway. USA and some of the riches countries of the world, can lead this path. However, the HOPE is open to all nations. Because living holistically has many ways. There is not a model. For the contrary, there are many alternatives to live plenty. Any country may find its own path toward sustainability and happiness to its people.
Education, leadership and proper investment are the key elements to put more energy to the already first signs of a new civilization.
This article has been focused on raising the focus on the real economy, not on the smoke of the present financial crisis. If we don't understand the bottom line, then a new fire will start tomorrow, either started by a financial crisis, a health epidemic, a terrible war, a natural disaster, etc.
Humankind and human activity has reached such weight on the planet activity, that our unbalanced way of living can trigger strong reactions from Nature and mankind activity. We have lost the control of natural phenomena. We never had it, but we could rely on natural parameters, on natural cycles and patterns to improve natural species including our own. Human activity has changed nature on such way, that we can not rely on the steady parameters with the same trust we did on the past.
So, we are going to suffer a few decades of unstable activity of Nature, while it limits the action of the human predators. It is going to be hard for all of us. However, we, the creator of this unbalanced society, can help Nature on finding its balance. We are able of doing it. I repeat, it will not prevent some of the perils we will face, because we already pushed the pendulum toward an extreme position and its coming back with the same energy. However, we can build a better society and it may be feasible that some of the strong effects of nature can not affect us so much, if we assist nature on the process.
I do believe strongly that the return to balance of economic activity is going to be guided for more peaceful spirits. More than a new economic development, we are at the preliminary stage of building a new ethics, a new philosophy a new spirituality and a new education. Also a new science and technology strongly related to harmony. When a person breaks down and he faces the peril of death either physically or financially or in love, then the person rebuilds himself with new and firm values. Frequently he feels like having a new life.
I believe, that we humans collectively are going to face great losses on many regards. So, most likely humans, as a whole, will build a new way of life. Not guided by some en lighted spirit or by a new Messiah - although this could help - but guided by the proper spirit of humankind. Human will and human love will push our intelligent efforts toward a better society altogether understanding that Natural creatures are part of our own life.
So, my world economy forecast is gray for the next years as long as investors and governments don't take the right decisions toward living holistically and on a sustainable way. It may seem we are coming out of the recession because we see a white smoke instead the dark smoke, just because we are just are dumping enough water to clear the dark smoke, but maybe we are not really dealing with the recession itself.
If any company, or any investor or any government take harmonic decisions, then they will face a much better future. Then my economic forecast for such company, investor, government and economy are clearly optimistic.

Gold price in year 208 and 2009
People investing in gold had enjoyed of profits on the middle of 2008-2009 chaos. Realize by yourself watching the following prices.
GOLD PRICE AVERAGE PER YEAR IN US$

2007 $ 695,37
2008 $ 871,96
2009 $ 904,48 ( up to April 24)

Many analysts expects the price to reach US$ 1.500 per ounce or US$ 48.226,12 per kilogram or US$ 48,22 per gram, by the end of 2009 as the economic forecast have shadows due to the large debts governments are obtaining to rescue their economies. So there are serious concerns about inflation and harsh times for governments to meet the payment of such liabilities. So gold will have a strong demand for quite a long time to stay away from currency inflation and instability of other investment instruments.

Gold and the world economic recession
The same is happening with humanity today. We haven't heard many signs of depletion of natural resources. For decades many governments and leaders denied the global warming and the climate change. Today most of us are beginning to realize the chaotic effects that Nature will cause to the human civilization to restore in part the sustainability.
So, the present recession is just one small flu or a cold attained by humanity to pay attention to stop the depletion of nature. Then the recession is most likely a "cold" or a tool to happen again and again until the civilized community carry on a more balanced pattern of development. A "cold" to diminish our global warming of natural resources.
Then clearly, the value of many assets is going to change. The value of companies is going to change. The value of wealth or what is understood for wealth is going to change.
While this happens, there is no doubt many will hold to one of the long term definition of wealth: Gold.
So I foresee a strong demand for gold. Not just for financial reasons, but most importantly due to economic reasons. Our financial crisis is just the sneeze of the cold gotten by humanity. It is not the real illness.
Humanity is ill of unsustainability. The civilization is ill of that. So, General Motors, banks and companies based on the XX century pattern are going to diminish its value permanently. Unless they reinvent themselves becoming a real new companies offering solutions to the new economy emerging in between the giants of the past. Otherwise they are going to die. Nature tores down the old beautiful and productive trees, once they are not any more productive. They become rotten and the winds of nature destroys them to assist the growth of new trees. So, this recession is going to destroy some extraordinary and productive mammoths, to leave room to the new ideas to the new generation of creative people.
New and old investors are needed to fund the new trends, so we may have a more balanced development. Gold is just a tool to avoid some hard looses during the turmoil of changing the value of world assets.
I don`t want to extend this post more, but the causes of this recession are totally different than the World Depression of 1929-30. So, the cure of the illness is totally different.

China and Chile sign trade agreement
Monday, April 14, 2008
El Mercurio Online
According to a statement posted on the website for the Chinese Ministry of Trade on Sunday night, the agreement will allow 23 companies belonging to the Chinese service industry to invest in Chile.
The treaty also gives Chinese companies access to the Chilean market in 37 industrial sectors, including law, real estate and engineering.
The agreement was signed after Chilean President Michelle Bachelet met with her Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, during a ceremony at a regional economic forum being held in the southern province of Hainan.
The new alliance expands on the previous free trade agreement reached between China and Chile in 2005, which was the first the Asian nation had signed with a Latin American country. Bilateral trade between the two nations has grown by 65%, reporting a total of 14.7 billion dollars last year.

FORECAST FOR YEAR 2008
World trend for year 2008 is to have a turmoil on financial markets which is an opportunity to take the lead on physical assets.
In Numerology 2008 is a year 10 or "one". Which means this is a year to lead, to take initiative. Also is a year to exercise will, the power to change things. Then there may be an overall trend to rotate or to move fixed status to a new state. We could use this energy by our own motivation, or either society or nature will break some of the rigid concepts.
Naturally we have three ways to act and to perceive these effects.
a. A Universal action
b. A normal action
c. An underdeveloped way of action
But these concepts exceed this brief article. However, option three are violent actions motivated by greed, tyranny and shellfiness without any concern by law & justice, like hostile takeovers. When this happen, we suffer the consequences or we have a rebirthing like a Fenix.
So, the outcome of year 2008 basically depends on our decision making, but if we think is just enough to hold possessions or to avoid taking risk, you may encounter troubles on the next years, because many individuals will be pushed to take new positions. They are taking risks this year.
Whatever you do, or other do to you, remind that your real gain should be WILL, developing your inner power. This year 2008 is a good campground to exercise your inner strength, one of your most needed resources to compose your wealth for the next 9 year cycle.
Remember this wonderful sentence. " Where there is will, there is a road". Year 2008 is a good opportunity to develop your will. Then your new road will be clear for you for many years to come.

LOANS AND LOCAL PARTNERS IN CHILE
A SOCIETY IS AN OPTION.
Being a partner in an already running business is the shortest option to someone just arriving to the country to get a job and be a businessman with all the normal advantages of a Chilean businessman.
INVESTING WITH CHILEANS
Many foreigners bring on their mental "hard disk" the usual way of doing business of their home country. Local practices are A MUST to know, to get the advantages of Chile. This is the reason normally large investors, investing hundreds of millions of dollars try to buy an already running company or become a partner on it. They usually keep most of the local management.
However on my own experience with small foreign businessmen, most of them try to create a business from zero, on their own. This usually finds the VISAS problems for residency, not understanding the language, the laws and most important of all, the non written practices, which are by far more critical to a business. Many foreigner just loose money. At the end of many years, they finish paying this expensive introductory course into living in Chile and in South America.
So, my practical sugesstion is to become initially a PASIVE INVESTOR, while learning the language, the laws and the culture. Finance a new venture guided by locals, or invest on a running business. On both cases you supress the COUNTRY COST. If you do it by yourself alone, your chance of failure, or of increasing the cost by far, is a real fact.
STRATEGIC PLANNING INTO LIVING IN CHILE
If you plan to invest less than US$ 200.000 in Chile, then this is probably your whole life savings. So, more than investing money you are investing your life. If this is the case, then invest on a joint venture trough a Chilean, as a way to learn about the country, while you get some profit.
If you don't invest trough a third party, then you will find at the end of year with a lot of travelling, high start up cost, and no money earned at all. And no VISA to be an independent businessman.
Instead, our suggestion is that you invest for instance a quarter of your total investment fund on a venture guided by Chileans, while you keep your learning process of the Chilean Culture. At the end of a year, I guarantee you will have some profits on your pocket plus a new life, without the headeaches of dealing alone with the " Chilean Jungle ".
This is the deal we offer you. If you are interested, Contact us to businessinchile@gmail.com
