ABOUT US

Novamine is a company dedicated to the research and development of engineering solutions with high level of innovation, quality and safety impact. It is focused on satisfying the current and future needs of mining companies in Chile and the world in the maintenance sector. Our mission is to create and add value to engineering projects, using innovation as our primary objective.

Its facilities are located in the second region of Chile, Antofagasta. Due to the size and complexity of the equipment, as for example, The Dump Body Exchange System there is also a production plant in the industrial area called, La Negra. Today, the company is working to replicate its successful results in the market of Peru, United States and Australia, among others.

The advantages of the products developed by Novamine are aimed at optimizing the production processes and offering the lowest operating costs, represented by decreasing the operation time and the involved resources as well as industry safety features.

Currently, the company has developed an exclusive technology for the body replacement process to promote ease of operation, maximum machine performance and innovative safety features. This operation used to have high operational risks and variable costs. Until today, there are more than 10 mining companies, who have the Dump Body Exchange System, e.g. Minera Escondidaoperated by BHP Billiton, Minera Candelaria and El Abra, Minera Centinela and Los Pelambres by Antofagasta Minerals S.A., and Codelco Divisions.
