Chile offers vast and high-grade mineral reserves, stable and supportive mining regulations, and well-developed infrastructure. Its unique geology and friendly investment climate make the country a prime destination for large-scale copper extraction essential to the global energy transition.
Minera Tres Valles (MTV) is a copper operation in Chile’s Coquimbo Region, combining open-pit and underground mining with an SX-EW plant producing Grade A cathodes. The site also processes ore from local small and medium-sized miners, supporting regional jobs and development.
With a mostly local workforce and strong commitments to safety, sustainability, and community engagement, MTV is central to GCR Group’s copper strategy and the Choapa Province economy.
Governance is the foundation of Minera Tres Valles’ business. Our management is guided by integrity, transparency, and accountability to ensure that mining creates both economic value and sustainable impact.
We operate in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and maintain rigorous systems that uphold ethical conduct, strengthen stakeholder trust, and drive continuous improvement.
We don’t view expectations around sustainability as challenges. They’re opportunities to lead responsibly and shape the future of mining in Chile.
Minera Tres Valles is led by a seasoned management team with deep expertise across the entire mining lifecycle. Our leaders bring together technical mastery, strategic insight, and a genuine commitment to local impact.
Day-to-day operations are guided by this experienced team, ensuring that every decision aligns with our values.
