In July, Orbit Garant Chile was awarded a new Minera El Abra project close to the city of Calama in region II. This project entails drilling about 24,800 meters for hydrogeological and assay purposes.
 
Two technologies will mainly be used in this project, diamond drilling for the surface and horizontal drains, and reverse circulation air drilling, envisaging the use of 8 to 10 drill rigs to fully carry out the project.
