Copper output in Chile, the leading producing nation, is expected to exceed 6 million tonnes for the first time this year and continue to rise by about 30% over the next 10 years, according to the country’s state copper agency, Cochilco. Production of the red metal, the agency says, could reach a record of 7.25 million tonnes as early as 2025, thanks mainly to new projects and planned expansions to come online this decade, as Chilean miners confront falling ore grades at older mines.
Production from existing, aging mines, Cochilco notes, will decline by 19% to 4.46 million tonnes annually, but the drop will be offset by new ventures and mine expansions.
The growth in production, the agency warns, would only be possible if the recent wave of mining investments materializes.
Chile’s state miner and the world’s No. 1 copper producer Codelco recently launched a USD 39 billion, 10 year investment plan to boost productivity at its mines. The company is set to have more funds ready available this year as this week the Finance Commission of Chile’s Senate unanimously approved a motion to overturn a dictatorship-era law that forces Codelco to transfer 10% of its export sales to the military.
