EXPONOR 2026, the twenty-first edition of the Asociación de Industriales de Antofagasta's mining exhibition, ran from 8 to 11 June on the AIA grounds in Antofagasta, in the heart of Chile's copper country. The organisers counted close to 1,400 exhibitors, 60,000 visitors and 36 countries plus the European Union.
