Corporate Profile
We are an independent company, owned by all Chileans, the world’s largest copper producer, and leader in metal reserves on the planet, the driving forces behind Chile’s development.
Our core business is exploring, developing and extracting and processing mineral resources that are then converted into refined copper and by-products, and subsequently marketed. These operations are carried out at seven divisions: Radomiro Tomic, Chuquicamata, Ministro Hales, Gabriela Mistral, Salvador, Andina, El Teniente and at the Ventanas smelter and refinery. The board coordinates and leads our corporate strategy from the Codelco Head Office in Santiago, Chile. The Codelco Board consists of nine members and the executive presidency.
History
Large-scale mining in Chile is part of our history.
At Codelco we have inherited a historic link between the first inhabitants of this land and the mineral resources of the Andes, the world’s largest copper deposit.
