GMT strategic expansion
Extending our reach across the Americas and Asia
Established in Chile in 2013, GMT built a strong technical foundation in mine engineering, geomechanics, geology, and mine water resources, serving as a key regional hub for operations across South America. In November 2025, the company reached a major milestone by integrating with established Australian consultancies to form GMT Global Mining Services. This unification combines senior leadership based in Australia with a deep technical delivery center in Chile, enabling GMT to operate at international standards while maintaining the competitiveness, efficiency, and depth of expertise that define its model.
