When exploring a new country, stage of the value chain, or segment is not just an option but an opportunity, we design the complete roadmap: from technical-operational due diligence to the commercial and logistics structure that supports the operation. We deliver financial scenarios (NPV/EIRR), risk matrices (regulatory, geotechnical, transportation), and a go-to-market plan that reduces uncertainty and accelerates investment decisions.

If the operation is not capturing the value it should, we intervene in the levers that truly matter: mine-plant-logistics design, cost structure, supply chain, and operational governance. We prioritize initiatives based on economic impact and technical feasibility, combining quick wins with structural projects that reduce CAPEX/OPEX per ton.

Profitable growth stems from a sound technical-commercial plan. We identify opportunities (vertical integration, new products, services), evaluate their technical and economic feasibility, and design the organizational transition needed to scale without disrupting the core operation.

We align the project portfolio with corporate ambition and establish decision-making mechanisms that accelerate capital allocation. We create prioritization criteria (technical, financial, ESG) and committee structures that reduce friction and improve investment discipline.

A strategy without adoption creates no value. We design the change plan: roles, capabilities, incentive models, and communication. We support implementation with PMO, trackers, and executive coaching until KPIs show adoption and tangible results.

The most important Strategy projects developed by GEM are:

• Corporative guidelines for strategic and tactic long-term planification, analysis and risk management, technical basis of planification and evaluation scenarios for strategic businesses.
• Strategical analysis and Development options for projects, operations and mining districts of the copper and gold extractive industry in Chile.
• Study of the economic impact of increasing the slope angle and developing and implementing operational methodologies depending on the lifecycle of the open pit operation of one of the biggest copper producers in the world.
• Making a diagnose, benchmark analysis and organizational proposal for the mine planning team of one of the most important mining companies worldwide.
• Development of the technical basis of tendering for a State. This project was conducted with the intention of maximizing the income of the client regarding mining exploitation activities. As a result, the competitive response in terms of number of bidders and economic offerings was correctly estimated.
• Construction of the tendering basis and payment polynomials for the outsourcing of various main mine and plant processes in a mining operation. With this polynomial, not only the operational costs of the contracted services were reduced by a 10%, but considerations were made to reduce the risk of the client.
• Determining the maintenance optimal strategy for the tendering basis of key truck parts for a mining operation. Additionally, GEM supported the client in the making of the technical basis for tendering.
• Risk Analysis of technical-economic offers for different tendering projects and mining operations.
