Lundin Mining community initiatives in Atacama

Overview

Lundin Mining has implemented several community and educational initiatives in Chile’s Atacama region. In September 2026, the company launched the ARA (Atacama Red de Aprendizaje) program, an educational initiative scheduled to run through 2030. The program aims to support students and entrepreneurs in Tierra Amarilla, Copiapó, and Caldera by addressing educational gaps and connecting classroom learning to the labor market.

By October 2026, the company expanded its regional social investment through the ‘Juntos Crecemos’ competitive fund. This program integrated the social investment efforts of the Caserones and Candelaria operations, awarding resources to 212 projects. The funding supports entrepreneurs, local businesses, and social organizations across five categories: business formalization, micro-enterprise support, social organization strengthening, sports and education, and culture and the environment.
