London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2026) - The Andean Bridge, in partnership with the University of Toronto's Mining Industry Management Program (MIMP), is bringing its Mining Finance & Project Evaluation workshops to Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Under the theme Building the Andean Financial Corridor, the two-day workshops aim to strengthen the capabilities of mining and capital-markets professionals across the Andean region, equipping participants with the knowledge and practical tools to evaluate, finance, and bring critical-minerals projects to international markets.

The workshops represent the culmination of a University of Toronto scholarship programme, bringing together professionals who have completed the programme's virtual training for an intensive, in-person learning experience focused on the financial, technical, and economic dimensions of mining projects.

Building expertise in mining finance and investment readiness

Across both locations, the workshops will cover mining finance and valuation, capital markets readiness, project economics, risk management and ESG, and practical project evaluation through expert-led sessions and working discussions.

The programme will feature contributions from University of Toronto faculty and industry experts, alongside perspectives from the mining sector, financial institutions, and capital-market stakeholders. The Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange will also contribute to the programme, highlighting the role of capital markets in connecting mining projects with international investment.
