Award-winning underground monitoring technology leader Elexon Mining has strengthened its global reach by appointing a dedicated local representative in Chile—a strategic move into one of the world’s key underground mining regions.
Having successfully served the South American market for the past decade, Elexon Mining will officially celebrate its local presence at Expomin 2025, Latin America’s premier mining exhibition.
This strategic expansion reinforces Elexon Mining’s commitment to the South American market, where its wireless subsurface monitoring systems are already installed in five of Chile’s six largest underground mining operations.
As Chile’s mining sector increasingly transitions to deeper underground operations, Elexon’s advanced wireless technologies—Geo4Sight, CaveTracker, and SmartMarker systems—will be indispensable in enabling operators, engineers, and consultants to make informed decisions. These technologies will support hazard identification and optimise ore recovery and underground operations, driving the South American mining industry towards an even greater future.
A Major Step for an Australian Mining Technology Leader
Elexon Mining’s entry into Chile represents a significant milestone for the Brisbane-based company, which has built a strong reputation for innovation in underground mining. The demand for copper, driven by global electrification trends, is pushing mines to operate at greater depths, increasing the need for advanced monitoring solutions to manage ground conditions and minimise major risks.
Unlike traditional geotechnical monitoring approaches, Elexon’s wireless technology enables continuous tracking of ore movement and ground stability in block caves, sub-level caves, open pit mines and tailings dams.
Engineered in-house with manufacturing partner Elexon Electronics, Elexon Mining’s wireless monitoring systems deliver comprehensive subsurface data that mining consultants, operators and engineers require to make more informed decisions across their South American underground mining operations.
“Already, major mines in neighbouring nations are taking notice of the positive impact Elexon Mining technology is having” – Javier Urriola, Elexon Mining Chile Representative
Expomin 2025: A Key Platform for Elexon Mining’s Chile Expansion
Expomin 2025 provides an ideal opportunity to formally introduce Elexon Mining to the local mining community. While Elexon has long supported mining operations in South America, this will be the company’s first time exhibiting at Expomin with their stand, allowing for direct engagement with mining operators, geotechnical engineers, consultants, universities and global industry partners.
“Expomin brings together the entire mining industry from operators to service providers. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate how our technology acts as your ‘eyes in the mine ‘” said Javier.
As part of the Austmine Pavilion, visitors to Elexon Mining (Stand H42-08) will have the opportunity to experience demonstrations of Elexon Mining beacons, notably Geo4Sight and CaveTracker, and speak with geotechnical consultants.
Strengthening Relationships and Future Growth in Chile
Beyond continuing to provide local support with existing partnerships, Elexon Mining is focused on expanding its reach in Chile and neighbouring South American regions.
“With a local representative in Chile and on-the-ground expertise, we can collaborate more closely with mining operators, engineers, and the geotechnical community in South America. We look forward to expanding the deployment of our wireless solutions to significantly enhance underground monitoring, driving advancements in safety, efficiency, and decision-making in one of the world’s most important mining regions.” – Sean Allen, Head of Client Services, Elexon Mining.
As demand for natural resources continues to rise and underground operations are forced to become deeper and increasingly complex, Elexon Mining’s presence in Chile will play a critical role in supporting more efficient, data-driven mining practices across Latin America and beyond.
