The Los Bronces–Andina Alliance: a unique mining joint venture in Chile
In 2025, Anglo American and Codelco announced the Bronces–Andina alliance, a first-of-its-kind partnership which fully integrates two major copper mines – owned by different companies – into a single coordinated operation without merging their ownership. This innovative structure allows Anglo American’s Los Bronces mine and Codelco’s Andina mine to be run under one unified mine plan, unlocking significant extra value and production that neither could achieve alone.

Mapping energy transition minerals permitting initiatives: a research project funded by the IBA Special Projects Fund
The accelerating demand for energy transition minerals has prompted a new wave of permitting-related reforms in a range of mining jurisdictions. Governments are increasingly treating mineral development as a strategic priority for industrial policy, energy security and supply-chain resilience, and are redesigning legal and administrative frameworks accordingly. A set of these reforms are often described in general terms as ‘streamlining’ or ‘fast-tracking’, but there has so far been no systematic legal analysis of how they are designed, how they operate, and how they differ.
