may be set forth in the final terms relating to such notes (the “Final Terms”) to this base prospectus (the “prospectus”).
The notes will constitute direct, general, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of CODELCO. The notes
rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of CODELCO, other than certain obligations granted preferential treatment pursuant to Chilean law. It is
understood that this provision will not be construed so as to require CODELCO to make payments under the notes ratably
with payments being made under any other obligations. See “Description of Notes—Ranking.”
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, we may redeem certain notes at our option, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time prior to the date stated in the applicable Final Terms, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and a redemption price based on a “make
whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Upon the occurrence of specified events relating
to Chilean tax law, we may redeem the notes in whole, but not in part, at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of redemption. See “Description of Notes—Redemption—Tax Redemption” and “—Optional
Redemption.”
The notes may have a maturity of at least one year and no more than 30 years from the date of issue.
We may list certain notes issued under the Program on a securities exchange.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of notes, the issue price of notes and any
other terms and conditions contemplated herein which are applicable to a particular issuance of notes will be set out in the
relevant Final Terms relating to such notes.
See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with
an investment in the notes.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any other regulatory body has approved or
disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense.
The notes have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any
state securities laws, and are being offered and sold only to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the
Securities Act. For a description of certain restrictions on the transfer of the notes, see “Transfer Restrictions” and “Plan of
Distribution.”
The notes are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus Regulation”), of the European Union, and this
prospectus has not been approved by a competent authority within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation. The notes are
not intended to be offered, sold, or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, or otherwise made available
to any retail investor in the European Economic Area.
Each initial and subsequent purchaser of the notes offered hereby in making its purchase will be deemed to have made certain
acknowledgements, representations and agreements intended to restrict the resale or other transfer of such notes and may in
certain circumstances be required to provide confirmation of compliance with such resale or other transfer restrictions below

“estimate,” “project,” “potential,” “guideline,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of
important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates
and intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements. These factors, some of which are discussed under
“Risk Factors,” include economic and political conditions and government policies in Chile or elsewhere, inflation
rates, exchange rates, regulatory developments and changes in Chilean law, customer demand, competition,
unanticipated mining and production problems, commodity prices, relations with employees and contractors,
variances in ore grade, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters. We caution you that the foregoing list of

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
CODELCO is a state-owned enterprise organized under the laws of Chile. All of its directors and
executive officers and certain experts named in this prospectus reside outside the United States (principally in
Chile), and all or a substantial portion of the assets of CODELCO and of such persons are located outside the United
States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on, or
bring actions or enforce foreign judgments against, CODELCO or such persons in U.S. courts. In addition,
CODELCO has been advised by its Chilean counsel, Carey y Cía. Ltda., that no treaty exists between the United
States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. There is also doubt as to the enforceability in
Chilean courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S.
federal securities laws. Chilean courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered in the United States by virtue of
the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, subject to the review in Chile of the U.S. judgment in order to
ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected, without reviewing
the merits of the subject matter of the case. Lastly, CODELCO has been advised by Carey y Cía. Ltda. that there is
doubt as to the enforceability in original actions in Chilean courts of liabilities predicated solely upon U.S. federal
securities laws.
The notes, the indenture and the subscription agreement will provide that CODELCO will appoint an agent
with offices in New York City as its agent upon whom process may be served in any action arising out of or based
upon, respectively, the notes, the indenture, the subscription agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby,
which may be instituted in any federal or state court having “subject matter” jurisdiction. See “Description of
Notes.”
Pursuant to the Chilean Mining Code, mining concessions as well as certain raw materials and other
property or assets permanently dedicated to the exploration or extraction of minerals cannot be subject to an order of
attachment, except with respect to mortgages, in the case that the debtor consents to the attachment in the same
enforcement proceeding or when the debtor is a stock corporation. In addition, pursuant to the Chilean constitution
(the “Constitution”), mining concessions corresponding to mining deposits exploited by CODELCO upon its
creation in 1976 cannot be subject to attachment nor to any act of disposition by CODELCO. As a result, the rights
of holders to attach property of CODELCO in the event of a default under the notes would be limited by such
provisions. See “Regulatory Framework—Mining Regulations.”
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL INFORMATION
In this prospectus, references to “U.S.$,” “$,” “U.S. dollars” and “dollars” are to United States dollars and
references to “cents” are to United States cents (U.S.$0.01). References to “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos
and references to “UF” are to “Unidades de Fomento.” References to “AUD” are to Australian dollars. The UF is
an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit that is linked to, and adjusted daily to reflect changes in, the Chilean
consumer price index during the preceding 30 days. References to “euro” or “€” are to the legal currency of the
European Economic and Monetary Union.
Pursuant to Circular No. 368 (Oficio Circular No. 368) of October 2006, as amended, of the Comisión para
el Mercado Financiero (the Chilean securities authority or “CMF”), since 2010, all companies with publicly traded
securities in Chile have been required to prepare and report consolidated financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB”).
The audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017
and the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018
included herein are referred to as the “2016-2017 Consolidated Financial Statements” and the “2017-2018
Consolidated Financial Statements,” respectively. The 2016-2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and the
2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements (together, the “Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements”)
are presented in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 included herein (the “Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements”) are
presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.” The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements are referred to together as the “Consolidated
Financial Statements.”
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements,
except for the adoption of the new leases standard IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019. See “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—New Accounting Standards.”
Unless otherwise indicated, the Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information
concerning CODELCO included herein are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with Decree Law 1,350 of 1976,
as amended by Law 20,392 published in the Diario Oficial de la República de Chile (the “Official Gazette”) on
November 14, 2009, and for periods after January, 1, 2009, in accordance with IFRS. Decree Law 1,350 is the
Chilean law pursuant to which CODELCO was created and which provides for its governance.
Because the notes offered hereby have not been and will not be registered with the SEC, this prospectus
does not and is not required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, and the related rules
and regulations adopted by the SEC, which would apply if the notes offered hereby were being registered with the
SEC.
The U.S. dollar is the currency used in the primary economic environment in which CODELCO operates.
Nevertheless, as an international company operating primarily in Chile, as well as in several other Latin American
countries, several European countries and China, a portion of CODELCO”s business is transacted in Chilean pesos
and other non-dollar currencies.
The body of generally accepted accounting principles is commonly referred to as “GAAP.” A non-GAAP
financial measure is generally defined by the SEC as one that purports to measure historical or future financial
performance, financial position or cash flows but: (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP in the issuer”s statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent
statements); or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are
excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.
vi
In this prospectus, CODELCO discloses several non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted
EBIT,” “Adjusted EBITDA),” “cash cost,” “total costs and expenses” and “financial debt.” Adjusted EBIT is
calculated by adding finance cost, impairment charges and income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding finance cost, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization of assets
plus export taxes and impairment charges to profit (loss) for the period. Impairment charges includes charges and
reversals of charges of investment projects, research projects and investment in associates and joint ventures. Cash
cost is calculated in accordance with the methodology specified by Brook Hunt 4 Associates for the determination
of Cl cost (cash cost) and includes all direct cash costs of mining, including costs associated with extraction,
leaching, smelting and further processing of copper ores into refined metal, as well as labor, electricity, diesel,
finance costs, third-party services, other costs, transportation and physical plant costs associated with those
processes, net of income from sales of byproducts. Cash cost is presented as a nominal dollar amount, usually
expressed as cents per pound, and excludes provisions, amortization, depreciation and central office costs. Total
costs and expenses is calculated by adding the costs of sales of CODELCO”s own copper plus the finance costs, less
finance income, plus other expenses, excluding expenses corresponding to a special export tax required under Law
No. 13,196 (the “Copper Reserve Law”), less other income by function. Financial debt is calculated as loans from
financial institutions plus bonds issued. Total debt to capitalization includes total financial debt divided by total
financial debt plus total equity.
Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA data are included in this prospectus because such data are used by
investors to assess: (i) the operating trends and financial performance of the Company and (ii) the ability of the
Company to (a) service its existing debt, (b) incur new debt and (c) fund its capital expenditures.
CODELCO believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information,
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for profit for the period as an indicator of operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are
not measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, CODELCO*s calculation of Adjusted
EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability
may be affected.
Cash cost is disclosed in this prospectus because it is a widely used measure of costs in the mining industry.
CODELCO believes that cash cost, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for cost of sales, cost of selling and administrative expenses or as an indicator of costs. Cash cost is not a
measure of financial performance in accordance with IFRS.
CODELCO also presents certain ratios and margins that are derived using Adjusted EBITDA, including the
ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA, the Adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio and earnings to fixed charges (adjusted).
CODELCO believes that these ratios are widely used by investors to measure our performance. In the section titled
“Summary Consolidated Financial Data,” CODELCO provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted
EBITDA to profit, along with the ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA coverage ratios and ratio of
earnings to fixed charges (adjusted), for the relevant periods.
Under the accounting policies adopted by CODELCO, gross profit is calculated before the provision for a
10% special export tax. Under the Copper Reserve Law, CODELCO is required to pay a special export tax on the
sales revenues that CODELCO derives from the export of copper sourced and related byproducts produced by
CODELCO. In addition, CODELCO is subject to a mining tax at progressive rates of between 5% and 14% in
accordance with Law No. 20,026. These taxes are included in “other expenses” by function. See “Summary—
Recent Developments—Repeal of the Copper Reserve Law” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s

This summary must be read as an introduction to this prospectus and any decision to invest in the notes should
be based on a consideration of the prospectus as a whole.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Except as otherwise disclosed herein or indicated, financial information with
respect to CODELCO provided in this prospectus has been presented in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with
IFRS.
CODELCO is the world’s largest copper producer and one of the largest companies in Chile in terms of
revenues (U.S.$14.3 billion in 2018). As of December 31, 2018, CODELCOSs total assets were U.S.$ 37.1 billion and
equity amounted to U.S.$11.3 billion. As of June 30, 2019, total assets were U.S.$37.9 billion and equity amounted to
U.S.$11.6 billion.
CODELCO engages primarily in the exploration, development and extraction of ores bearing copper and
byproducts, the processing of ore into refined copper and the international sale of refined copper and byproducts.
CODELCO is 100% owned by the Government of Chile and controls approximately 6% of the world’s proved and
probable copper reserves, as such terms are defined by the U.S. Geological Survey.
In 2018, CODELCO had an estimated 9% share of total world copper production, with production amounting
to approximately 1.81 million metric tons, including: (i) CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit, which is mined by
Sociedad Contractual Minera El Abra and owned 49% by CODELCO and 51% by Cyprus El Abra Corporation (a
subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc.); and (ii) CODELCO’s share of Anglo American Sur (of which CODELCO
owns a 20% indirect share), and an estimated 9% share of the world”s molybdenum production, with production
amounting to approximately 24,031 metric tons excluding CODELCO*”s share of Anglo American Sur.
CODELCO*s main commercial product is Grade A cathode copper. In 2018, CODELCO derived 92% of its
total sales from copper and 8%of its total sales from byproducts of its copper production. In the first six months of
2019, CODELCO derived 91% of its total sales from copper and 9% of its total sales from byproducts of its copper
production.
CODELCOS*s sales of copper in 2018 were geographically diversified, with approximately 59% of sales made
to Asia, including approximately 46% to China, as well as approximately 30% to North and South America and 11% to
Europe. CODELCOS”s top ten customers purchased approximately 41.0% ofits total copper sales volume in 2018.
CODELCOSs copper operations are divided into the following eight divisions:
+ TheEl Teniente Division operates the El Teniente mine, which is the world”s largest underground copper mine and
has been in operation for more than 100 years. The El Teniente Division includes the Caletones smelter. In 2018,
this division produced 465,040 metric tons of copper, or 25.7% of CODELCO”s total copper output (including
CODELCOSs share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 106.5 cents per pound,
compared to 113.5 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$1.1 billion in 2018, compared to
U.S.$1.2 billion in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 202,936 metric tons of copper
with a cash cost of 105.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$465 million.
+ The Radomiro Tomic Division operates the Radomiro Tomic mine, which began its first full year of production in
1998 and ranked among the world’s top three largest producers of copper using SX-EW technology in 2018. In
2018, this division produced 332,667 metric tons of copper cathodes, or 18.4% of CODELCOSs total copper output
(including CODELCOSs share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 134.1 cents per
pound, compared to 131.4 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$973 million in 2018 compared to
U.S.$915 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 127,422 metric tons of
copper with a cash cost of 141.3 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$395 million.
e The Chuquicamata Division operates the Chuquicamata mine, one of the largest copper-producing mines in the
world, which began its operations in 1915 and currently includes smelting and refining capacities. In 2018, this
division produced 320,744 metric tons of copper cathodes, or 17.8% of CODELCO'”s total copper output
(including CODELCOSs share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 131.5 cents per
pound, compared to 130.9 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$908 million in 2018, compared to
U.S.$933 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 166,131 metric tons of
copper with a cash cost of 125.6 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$447 million.
+ The Mina Ministro Hales Division was created in September 2010 for the operation of the Mina Ministro Hales ore
body, which first began producing copper at the end of 2013. In 2018, this division produced 195,485 metric tons
of copper, or 10.8% of CODELCOS*s total copper output (including CODELCOS*s share of the El Abra deposit and
Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 124.0 cents per pound, compared to 121.8 cents per pound in 2017, and a
total cash cost of U.S.$517 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$560 million in 2017. During the first six months of
2019, this division produced 72,252 metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 140.4 cents per pound and a total
cash cost of U.S.$216 million.
e The Andina Division operates the Andina and Sur-Sur mines with production split among open-pit and
underground mines. It does not have independent smelting capacity. Andina has been in operation since 1970. In
2018, this division produced 195,531 metric tons of copper, or 10.8% of CODELCO’s total copper output
(including CODELCOSs share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 163.7 cents per
pound, compared to 139.6 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$682 million in 2018, compared to
U.S.$654 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 83,793 metric tons of copper
with a cash cost of 183.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$328 million.
+ The Gabriela Mistral Division was created in January 2013 and operates the Gabriela Mistral mine, which uses
SX-EW technology. The Gabriela Mistral mine produced its first copper cathodes in May 2008 after a 26-month
construction period. In 2018, this division produced 107,247 metric tons of copper, or 5.9% of CODELCOSs total
copper output (including CODELCO*s share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of
191.9 cents per pound, compared to 151.9 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$454 million in
2018, compared to U.S.$411 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 42,284
metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 265.4 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$247 million.
+ The Salvador Division operates the Salvador mine and concentrator and the smelter/refinery complex at Potrerillos,
which has the capacity to treat 671,000 metric tons of concentrate. In 2018, this division produced 60,840 metric
tons of copper cathodes, or 3.4% of CODELCOS”s total copper output (including CODELCO*s share of the El Abra
deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 223.5 cents per pound, compared to 198.7 cents per pound in
2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$296 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$269 million in 2017. During the first
six months of 2019, this division produced 15,138 metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 225.8 cents per pound
and a total cash cost of U.S.$74 million. Unless the Inca Pit project (as described below) enters the execution
stage, CODELCO”s Board of Directors has decided to phase out mining operations at the Salvador mine by 2021,
or sooner, if warranted by market and operational conditions, specifically marketability of its copper, cash costs
and annual reviews of performance. The Potrerillos smelter and refinery would continue to operate upon any
cessation of the mining operations at Salvador.
+ The Ventanas Division was created in connection with the acquisition of the Ventanas smelter/refinery complex
from Chile”s state-owned mining company Empresa Nacional de Minería (“ENAMIT”) in May 2005. In 2018, this
division refined 409,049 metric tons of copper, compared to 410,024 metric tons of copper in 2017. Pursuant to
the terms of the acquisition, CODELCO is required to provide on market terms the necessary smelting and refining
capacity for the treatment of copper concentrate delivered by the small- and medium-sized mining industry that
ENAMI serves.
The Chuquicamata Division, the Radomiro Tomic Division, the Mina Ministro Hales Division and the
Salvador Division form part of CODELCO’s Northern Operations (Operaciones Norte). The Andina Division, the El
Teniente Division and the Ventanas Division form part of CODELCO”s Central Southern Operations (Operaciones
Centro Sur). For a description of CODELCO”s associations with other companies, see “Business and Properties—
Copper Production—Associations, Joint Ventures and Partnerships.”
Competitive Strengths
CODELCO believes that it has certain distinguishing competitive strengths:
e Copper Reserves. CODELCO controls approximately 6% of the world”s proved and probable copper reserves. In
2018, CODELCO”s proved and probable reserves represented at least 26 years of future production at current
levels.
e Market Presence. CODELCO is the largest copper producer in the world, with an estimated 9% share of the total
world copper production and 1.81 million metric tons (including CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit and
Anglo American Sur) of production in 2018. CODELCO is also one of the largest producers of molybdenum in
the world, with an estimated 9% share of total world molybdenum production, producing 24,031 metric tons in
2018 (excluding CODELCO’”s share of Anglo American Sur). CODELCO believes that its significant market
presence gives the Company certain advantages in the marketing of its products.
e Lower Cost Producer. For many years, CODELCO has been within the first or second quartiles in the industry
with respect to costs. Currently, CODELCO is in the third quartile of the industry”s cost curve. This position is
primarily attributable to the quality of its ore bodies, its economies of scale and the experience of its workforce and
management. The Company intends to make every effort, through investment and management, to be within the
first or second quartiles of the industry?”s cost curve in the long-term. In 2018, CODELCO’s total costs and
expenses increased by 18.0 cents per pound (7.9%) to 245.1 cents per pound, compared to 227.1 cents per pound in
2017 and 214.6 cents per pound in 2016, mainly due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar,
as well as higher input prices, non-cash charges related to the write-off of an innovation project for underground
mining and impairment losses on fixed assets associated with the Ventanas Division. For the first six months of
2019, CODELCOSs total costs and expenses increased by 21.1 cents per pound (8.9%) to 258.3 cents per pound,
compared to 237.2 cents per pound for the same period in 2018, mainly due to lower production levels as a result
of weather disruptions in the northern area of Chile, a 14-day strike at the Chuquicamata mine, upgrades at the
Chuquicamata and Salvador smelters that suspended operations temporarily, the appreciation of the Chilean peso
against the U.S. dollar, higher bonuses and other employment benefits associated with its collective bargaining
agreements and higher financing costs. In 2018, CODELCO*s total costs and expenses increased by 4.4% to
U.S.$9.1 billion, compared to U.S.$8.7 billion in 2017, due to the same reasons that contributed to the increase of
total costs and expenses per pound in 2018. In 2017, CODELCOSs total costs and expenses increased by 7.5% to
U.S.$8.7 billion, compared to U.S.$8.1 billion in 2016, mainly due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against
the U.S. dollar, higher interest and fuel and energy expenses. For the first six months of 2019, CODELCOS”s total
costs and expenses decreased to U.S.$4.0 billion, compared to U.S.$4.3 billion for the same period in 2018, due to
the same reasons that contributed to the increase of total costs and expenses per pound during the first six months
of 2019. In 2018, CODELCO”s cash cost of production was 139.1 cents per pound, compared to 135.9 cents per
pound in 2017 and 126.1 cents per pound in 2016. For the first six months of 2019, CODELCO’s cash cost of
production was 142.3 cents per pound, compared to 137.6 cents per pound for the same period in 2018. In 2018,
CODELCOSS total cash cost was U.S.$5.1 billion, compared to U.S.$5.1 billion in 2017 and U.S.$4.7 billion in
2016. For the first six months of 2019, CODELCO’s total cash cost was U.S.$2,2 billion, as compared to
U.S.$2.4 billion for the same period in 2018 (such cash cost total includes certain cash cost incurred at the
corporate level). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—
Overview.”
e Research and Technological Innovation. CODELCO remains competitive by developing and incorporating new
technologies into its production processes, which aim to improve overall operations, including mining processes,
efficiency, productivity, environmental protection and worker safety.
e Stable, Long-term and Geographically Diverse Customer Base. CODELCO has developed long-term relationships
with the majority of its customers, including some of the leading manufacturers in the world.
e Financial Strength. In 2018, CODELCO’s Adjusted EBITDA amounted to U.S.$4.7 billion, total debt to
capitalization as of December 31, 2018 was 57.4% and the ratio of total debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 3.2. As of
June 30, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to U.S.$1.6 billion and total debt to capitalization was 56.7%.
e Management Efficiency and Flexibility. CODELCO believes that it has a highly experienced workforce and
executive team with a proven track record of managing long-life copper reserves that is able to respond to market
changes by adjusting the allocation of its resources and operations among several different methods of production
and ore deposits.
e One ofthe Leading Companies in Chile. CODELCO is one of the largest companies in Chile in terms of revenues
as of December 31, 2018 (U.S.$14.3 billion) and is a key contributor to the budget of the Government of Chile. In
2018, CODELCO contributed U.S.$ 1.8 billion to the Chilean Treasury and accounted for approximately 17.2% of
Chile”s total exports. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Distributions to the Chilean Treasury” and “Regulatory
Framework.”
Business Strategy
CODELCO”s mission is to maximize the value of its mineral resources for the benefit of its shareholder, the
Chilean state, by fully developing its vast mining resources on a timely basis, leveraging the Company”s experienced
workforce, utilizing its advanced technological assets in key areas and by executing the following key strategic
initiatives:
e Capital Expenditure Program. We seek to maintain and improve our competitive position in the industry through
our three-year capital expenditure program. Following the completion of a number of significant projects in recent
years, such as the development of CODELCO”s new Mina Ministro Hales, the development of sulfide ores at the
Radomiro Tomic mine, the expansion at the Andina mine and the development of the Pilar Norte area at the El
Teniente mine, CODELCO intends to continue its development program. Accordingly, the Company expects to
make capital expenditures of approximately U.S.$13.4 billion between 2019 and 2021 on major projects,
transforming its main mining operations with a view towards the long-term development of its resources. We
expect these expenditures to be funded with a combination of internal and external resources. For a complete list
of planned capital expenditures, see “Business and Properties—Copper Production—Operations.” CODELCO”s
expansion and development of major projects between 2019 and 2021 are expected to include:
o The gradual transformation of the Chuquicamata mine from an open pit mine to an underground operation,
which we expect will enable Chuquicamata to maintain its annual copper production at its current level
starting in 2019 (an approximate investment of U.S.$2.0 billion between 2019 and 2021). Environmental
approvals were obtained in September 2010, and the project is approximately 90% complete as of June 30,
2019.
o The reallocation of the Andina plant, which involves maintaining the treatment capacity of the concentrator
plant in the long-term (an approximate investment of U.S.$371 million between 2019 and 2021). Operations
are expected to begin in 2021, and the project is approximately 77% complete as of June 30, 2019.
o The development of a new production level in the existing El Teniente underground mine (an approximate
investment of U.S.$1.6 billion between 2019 and 2021) to maintain El Teniente”s annual copper production
at its current level. Environmental approvals were obtained in March 2011. However, based on
geomechanical challenges that need to be addressed, an alternative development plan was approved in
January 2018 that will still permit us to maintain our original production goal and the new mining level is
now expected to be completed in 2023. As of June 30, 2019, the project is approximately 52% complete.
o The upgrade of CODELCO”s smelters to new emission standards was required to maintain our operating
licenses in Chuquicamata, El Teniente, Salvador and Ventanas, and such upgrade required an investment of
U.S.$1.1 billion in Chuquicamata, U.S.$703 million in El Teniente, U.S.$441 million in Salvador and
U.S.$113 million in Ventanas for a total approximate investment of U.S.$2.3 billion. As of the date of this
prospectus, 100%, 97%, 95% and 96% of the upgrades at the Ventanas, Salvador, El Teniente and
Chuquicamata smelters, respectively, have been completed, and all four smelters are operating.
o The development of the Inca Pit project is designed to extend the life of the current underground mine
operation in the Salvador Division and enable it to maintain its annual production at its current level starting
in 2021 and the analysis for a future expansion, which requires an approximate investment of U.S.$900
million between 2019 and 2021. As of June 30, 2019, the feasibility study has been completed, and the
initial work relating to the project has commenced.
o The expansion of the existing Andina open pit is an initiative that is expected to expand the treatment
capacity of the concentrator plant up to 150 thousand tons per day (an approximate investment of U.S.$95
million between 2019 and 2021) starting in 2027. As of June 30, 2019, the feasibility study has been
authorized and is approximately 31% complete.
e Improvement in Operations. A number of improvement initiatives are underway to adopt best industry practices,
most notably in the areas of labor productivity, asset utilization rates and process efficiency. Together with its
capital expenditure program, these initiatives are expected to enhance CODELCO”s competitive position. The
Company operates in a cyclical business and CODELCOSs strategy is to ensure that it is able to take full advantage
of high copper prices. The Company is developing a number of plans to achieve production targets in the coming
years. These plans mainly focus on reducing the risk of disruptions to production and providing increased
flexibility to its operations.
e Exploration Efforts. CODELCO controls the largest copper reserves worldwide, the Company”s single most
important long-term competitive advantage. The discovery of new mining resources and improving its ability to
locate existing ore bodies and prospects are critical to maintain this preeminent position in the industry.
Accordingly, the Company”s exploration program will continue to be a key part of its business strategy.
e Investment in Human Capital. The successful execution of CODELCOS*s business strategy relies on attracting and
retaining a world-class management team and professionals of the highest caliber, as well as promoting a culture of
diversity and inclusion. The mining industry faces increased competition for workforce talent. As a result, the
Company intends to continue improving career development opportunities for its staff and the overall
attractiveness of CODELCO as a preferred employer.
e Mining Association with Third Parties. CODELCO seeks to continue to develop and operate assets in association
with third parties where these associations will add value to CODELCO”s business. A few examples of the
Company”s willingness and ability to do so are: (i) the association with Freeport-McMoRan Inc. in the El Abra
copper mine (CODELCO owns 49%) and (ii) the association with Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”),
Mitsui 8 Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) and Mitsubishi Corporation (“Mitsubishi Corporation”) in Anglo American Sur
(CODELCO owns an indirect 20% interest). CODELCO believes its large mining reserve is a strong platform
from which to establish such associations.

validly tendered and accepted by CODELCO on or before the expiration date of the applicable Tender Offers. As of the
date of this prospectus, CODELCO purchased all the Any and All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at
or prior to the expiration date and all the Maximum Tender Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior
to the early tender date. As of the date of this prospectus, the total Any and All Notes and Maximum Tender Notes
purchased amounted to U.S.$147.4 million.
Lithium Development Project
On August 1, 2019, CODELCO announced that it signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding
(“MOU”) with Minera Salar Blanco S.A. to develop a joint lithium project in the Maricunga salt flat, which we believe
would allow the project to become the third largest lithium producer in Chile. Terms and details of the definitive
agreement will be finalized in the coming months, subject to mutual due diligence and other conditions. Once a
definitive agreement is reached, it is expected that the construction of the joint project will begin in 2020 or early 2021,
after all permits are obtained and the financial structure is finalized.
Sale of Participation in GNL Mejillones
On August 6, 2019, CODELCO consummated the sale of its 37% stake in GNL Mejillones S.A. to Ameris
Capital AGF for an amount of US$193.5 million.

“Cost of sales” for any period includes direct and indirect costs, depreciation and amortization associated with the production of copper and
byproducts, as well as purchase costs of third-party copper, sold by CODELCO in that period.
“Other expenses” is comprised principally of costs related to retirement plan and severance indemnities, costs of environmental exit, restoration
and similar liabilities and the 10% special export tax paid by the Company that is required by the Copper Reserve Law. See note 24.b of the
Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.”
CODELCO is subject to a mining tax on operating income at progressive rates of between 5% and 14%. The tax is imposed on operating
income generated during the operating year. The statutory rate of the mining tax for CODELCO was 5.0% for each year between 2016 and
2018. See note 5 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Liquidity and Capital Resources —Distributions to
the Chilean Treasury” and “Regulatory Framework.” See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO’”s Relationship with the
Government of Chile —CODELCO is subject to special taxes” for information regarding the mining tax rate effective in 2016. In addition,
CODELCO is subject to the corporate income tax rate of 24% in 2016 and 25% since 2017 (pursuant to the recent tax reform) and a 40% tax on
net earnings applicable to state-owned enterprises as specified by Decree Law 2,398, Art. 2. See “Taxation—Chilean Taxation” and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Liquidity and Capital Resources —Distributions to
the Chilean Treasury” for additional information.
See note 9 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
All other assets includes other non-current financial assets, other non-current non-financial assets, accounts receivable from related parties, non-
current, non-current inventories, intangible assets other than goodwill, investment property, non-current tax assets and deferred tax assets.
For the purpose of calculating CODELCOS*s ratio of earnings to fixed charges (adjusted), (i) “earnings” consist of Adjusted EBIT and (ii) “fixed
charges” consist of finance cost. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges (adjusted) is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBIT by finance cost.
Adjusted EBIT is calculated by adding finance cost, impairment charges net of reversals (as defined in note (1) of the following table) and
income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period. Adjusted EBIT, while not a financial performance measure under IFRS, is presented as an
indicator of funds available to service debt. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA data are included in this prospectus because such data are
used by investors to assess: (i) the operating trends and financial performance of the Company and (ii) the ability of the Company to (a) service
its existing debt, (b) incur new debt and (c) fund its capital expenditures. The Company believes that Adjusted EBIT, while providing useful
information, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for profit for the period, as an indicator of operating performance, or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBIT may be different than the
calculation used by other companies and therefore, comparability may be affected. See notes 9, 23 and 24 of the Audited Annual Consolidated
Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” for further information about impairment charges and reversals and other non-cash charges.
Average price on the LME for Grade A cathode copper during period.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding finance cost, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization of assets plus export taxes and
impairment charges net of reversals (as defined in note (1) of the following table) to profit (loss) for the period. Adjusted EBITDA is presented
because it is a widely accepted indicator of funds available to service debt, although it is not an IFRS-based measure of liquidity or
performance. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA data are included in this prospectus because such data are used by investors to ass i)
the operating trends and financial performance of the Company and (ii) the ability of the Company to (a) service its existing debt, (b) incur new
debt and (c) fund its capital expenditures. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for profit as an indicator of operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of

liquidity. Additionally, the Company”s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different than the calculation used by other companies and
therefore, comparability may be affected. See notes 9, 23 and 24 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Unaudited
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for
further information about impairment charges and reversals and other non-cash charges.
The ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing debt by Adjusted EBITDA. Debt is defined as loans from financial institutions
plus bonds issued.
Adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to finance cost net of finance income. See note 9 above for further
information about Adjusted EBITDA and notes 23 and 24 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further
information about impairment charges and reversals and other non-cash charges.

See note 22 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Copper Reserve Law currently requires the payment of a 10% special export tax on receivables of the sales proceeds that CODELCO
receives and transfers to Chile from the export of copper and related by products produced by CODELCO. For further information, see

RISK FACTORS
Prospective purchasers of the notes offered hereby should carefully consider all of the other information
contained herein, including the risk factors set forth below. As a general matter, investing in the securities of an issuer,
substantially all of whose operations are in a developing country such as Chile, involves a higher degree of risk than
investing in securities of issuers with substantially all of their operations in the United States and other jurisdictions.
Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations
CODELCO has in the past recognized significant impairment charges for certain assets and, if market and industry
conditions deteriorate, further impairment charges may be recognized.
A substantial amount of CODELCO*s total assets are property, plant and equipment. As of December 31,
2018, 72.1% of our total assets were property, plant and equipment. In accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB,
we review the carrying amount of our assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered
an impairment loss. CODELCO uses the value-in-use methodology to ensure that the recoverable amount of our
property, plant and equipment is not impaired. In assessing the value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments at the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset.
In 2016, CODELCO recognized a U.S.$79 million impairment loss on its Anglo American Sur assets,
primarily due to the rejection of the mining plan for El Soldado, which is owned and operated by Anglo American Sur,
by the National Geological and Mining Service (Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería, or “SERNAGEOMIN”). In
2017, the impairments charges relating to the Anglo American Sur assets were reversed in the amount of U.S.$67
million, due to the approval of the mining plan for El Soldado by the Government of Chile. In 2018, CODELCO
recognized a U.S.$199 million impairment loss in its Ventanas Division mainly due to a decrease in treatment and
refining charges, as well as the negative outlook of long-term sulfuric acid prices. Because the impairment calculation
is directly associated with the outlook of copper prices, a downturn in the copper price outlook could require further
impairment losses on our plant, property and equipment. Such impairment charges could be material to our financial
statements.
CODELCO* business is highly dependent upon the price of copper.
CODELCOSs financial performance is significantly affected by the market prices of copper. These prices have
been historically subject to wide fluctuations and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of CODELCO,
including international economic and political conditions, levels of supply and demand, the availability and costs of
substitutes, inventory levels maintained by producers and others and actions of participants in the commodities markets.
To a lesser extent, copper prices are also subject to the effects of inventory carrying costs and currency exchange rates.
In addition, the market prices of copper have occasionally been subject to rapid short-term changes. See “Overview of
the Copper Market.”
In 2018, copper prices averaged 295.9 cents per pound, up from 279.7 cents per pound in the same period in
2017. In the first six months of 2019, copper prices averaged 279.6 cents per pound, down from 313.7 cents per pound
in the same period in 2018, which may be attributable primarily to ongoing trade disputes between the United States
and China. China has been the main driver of copper consumption in recent years, and in 2016, 2017 and 2018, 46.1%,
39.6% and 49.8%, respectively, of CODELCO””s sales were made to China. If economic conditions deteriorate in
China or other emerging markets, the market price of copper could fall. A decline in copper prices would have an
adverse impact on CODELCO’”s revenues and financial results. In 2018, each one-cent change in CODELCO”s
average annual copper price per pound sold caused a variation in operating profit of approximately U.S.$40 million. If
CODELCO”s average annual copper price per pound declines significantly, we may be required to recognize asset
impairments similar to those recorded during 2015.
In 2015, CODELCO recognized an asset impairment charge of U.S.$2.4 billion of Anglo American Sur assets,
primarily due to the impact of a decline in, and deterioration in the outlook for, copper prices for 2015. In 2015,
CODELCO also recognized impairment charges of U.S.$311 million and U.S.$54 million in the Salvador and Ventanas
Divisions, respectively, and other non-cash charges of U.S.$277 million related to investment projects that were not
16
economically viable considering the copper price outlook at the time. See notes 23 and 24 of the Audited Annual
Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” for further information about impairment charges.
In the event of a sustained decline in prices, CODELCO has in the past and could again determine to curtail
operations or suspend certain of its mining and processing operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
CODELCO faces competition in the copper market from other copper producers.
CODELCO faces competition from other copper mining companies and producers of copper around the world.
Although CODELCO continues to focus on reducing costs, there can be no assurance that competition from lower cost
producers will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects
of CODELCO.
The mining industry has experienced significant consolidation in recent years, including consolidation among
some of CODELCO”s main competitors, as a result of which an increased percentage of copper production is from
companies that also produce other products and are, consequently, more diversified. There can be no assurance that the
result of current or further consolidation in the industry will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition, results of operations or prospects of CODELCO.
Most of CODELCO*s copper output is dependent upon production from three of its main mining complexes.
Three of CODELCO”s mining complexes produced over 61.9% of its copper output in 2018 (including
CODELCOS”s share in the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur). The El Teniente Division, including the
Caletones smelter, produced an aggregate of 465,040 metric tons of copper in 2018. The Radomiro Tomic mine
produced an aggregate of 332,667 metric tons of copper and the Chuquicamata mine produced an aggregate of 320,744
metric tons of copper, each during the same period. If operations in any of these three mining complexes were
significantly reduced, interrupted or curtailed, CODELCO”s financial condition and its ability to make the required
payments on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. CODELCO cannot assure you that production
interruptions will not occur or that any such incident would not materially adversely affect its production. See
“Business and Properties—Operations—Chuquicamata Division,” “—Radomiro Tomic Division” and “—El Teniente
Division.”
”<
The business of mining is subject to risks, some of which are not completely insurable.
The business of mining, smelting and refining copper is generally subject to a number of risks and hazards,
including industrial accidents, labor disputes, úunexpected geological conditions, mine collapses, changes in the
regulatory environment, environmental hazards, weather and other natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, fires and
floods. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities,
human exposure to pollution, personal injury or death, environmental and natural resource damage, delays in mining,
monetary losses and possible legal liability. CODELCO maintains insurance consistent with copper mining industry
standards and in amounts that it believes to be adequate, but which may not provide complete coverage in certain
circumstances. Insurance against certain risks (including certain liabilities for environmental pollution and other
hazards as a result of exploration and production) is not generally available to CODELCO or to other companies within
the industry.
Under each of CODELCO’”s copper sales agreements, CODELCO or its customer may suspend or cancel
delivery of copper during a period of force majeure. Events of force majeure under the agreements include acts of
nature, strikes, fires, floods, wars, transportation delays, governmental actions or other events that are beyond the
control of the parties. Any suspension or cancellation of deliveries under copper sales agreements that are not replaced
by delivery under new contracts or sales on the spot market could have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition, results of operations or prospects of CODELCO.
17
CODELCO*s water supply could be affected by geological changes or environmental regulations.
CODELCO'”s business is dependent on the availability of water for the production of copper and subject to
environmental regulations regarding water usage. In the past, Chile has experienced droughts severe enough to
adversely affect the energy sector of the economy in the central and southern regions of Chile. CODELCO”s access to
water may also be impacted by changes in geology or other natural factors that CODELCO cannot control. If Chile
were to experience a drought or CODELCO was otherwise unable to obtain adequate water supplies, CODELCO”s
ability to conduct its operations could be impaired.
In addition, Chile is currently drafting a new water quality standard for the Aconcagua and Cachapoal rivers
and is evaluating the adoption of a new water quality standard for the Loa river. If new water quality standards are
adopted for those water supply sources on which CODELCO depends, these new standards could result in significant
additional environmental compliance costs. Furthermore, the Government of Chile has proposed certain changes to
applicable water regulations which, if adopted, could result in increased costs and expenditures and, in extreme cases,
delays in our mining operations.
CODELCO*s compliance with environmental, health and safety laws may require increased costs, including capital
commitments, and non-compliance may subject it to significant penalties.
Chile has adopted environmental, health and safety regulations requiring industrial companies operating in
Chile, including CODELCO, to undertake programs to reduce, control or eliminate various types of pollutants and to
protect natural resources, including water and air, among other requirements. If the Ministerio del Medio Ambiente (the
Ministry of the Environment) declares an area to be polluted or potentially polluted, a prevention or decontamination
plan is required. Either type of plan may contain measures that may increase the costs of developing new facilities or
expanding existing ones in the designated area. Some of the areas where CODELCO operates have been declared
polluted. The measures currently included in the prevention or decontamination plans that govern these areas are
subject to change and may become more stringent if compliance with the quality standards is not achieved. CODELCO
must comply with certain air quality environmental regulations regarding particulate matter (PM;0) and sulfur dioxide
(SO) in the areas surrounding the Potrerillos, Caletones, Ventanas and Chuquicamata smelting plants. The Potrerillos,
Caletones and Ventanas smelting plants have decontamination plans for such pollutants. In the area surrounding the
Chuquicamata smelter, there are decontamination plans for PM¡o under development and under review, and a pollution
prevention plan for SO» is under development. CODELCO is currently unable to fully assess what may be required of
it or the cost of compliance with the revised PM;o pollution reduction plans, the SO, prevention plan or any future
changes to the other plans covering the areas where CODELCO operates. As of the date of this prospectus, the impact
of operating in latent and saturated zones has not been material to CODELCO; however, it could have a material effect
in the future.
An air emissions standard for smelters was enacted by the Ministry of the Environment in 2013. This standard
involves arsenic (As), SO, PMyo and mercury (Hg) emissions. Since 2013, CODELCO”s cost of complying with this
standard was U.S.$2.3 billion, but the full cost will be determined when all the necessary engineering projects to ensure
compliance are finished and implemented. Such additional costs could also be material. As of the date of this
prospectus, the Ventanas and El Teniente smelters meet the requirements of this standard and the engineering projects
in the other smelters are currently under development. See “Regulatory Framework—+Environmental Regulations.”
Additionally, in 2015, Supreme Decree 10 declared the boroughs of Concón, Quintero and Puchuncaví, where
the Ventanas smelting plant is located, as a saturated zone with regards to PM»; and as a latent zone with regards to
PM:o, and new decontamination and prevention plans were enacted in March 2019. CODELCO estimates that the cost
of such plans will be U.S.$27 million, which will be incurred over a period of approximately four years.
Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to
become increasingly stringent over time. For example, changes to current environmental laws and regulations, and
additional environmental laws and regulations, have recently been adopted, including mine closure legislation that
would require financial guarantees, and have recently been proposed, including green taxes, environmental crimes and
glacier protection laws that could (i) prevent expansion of our operations into certain areas, (ii) require us to obtain
additional permits and (iii) result in increased cost and potential delays. Moreover, certain changes to environmental,
health and safety laws and regulations are pending and other new laws or regulations may be adopted in Chile in the
18
future. In addition, community and environmental activist groups have protested the development of certain mines of
our competitors in Chile and may increase demands for socially responsible and environmentally sustainable practices,
and their efforts may lead to operational delays and the creation or revision of government regulations and policies with
respect to the mining industry in Chile, litigation and increased costs.
Finally, as a result of the Paris Agreement reached during the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2015, a number of governments have pledged “Nationally
Determined Contributions” to control and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Assuming that the Chilean economy
grows at the same rate it has grown over the previous ten years, excluding the years of the global financial crisis, and
such growth rate is sufficient, Chile has committed to reducing its CO, emissions per GDP unit by 30% below 2007
levels by 2030 and, subject to an international monetary grant, reducing its CO, emission per GDP unit by 2030 until it
reaches a 35% to 45% reduction with respect to the 2007 levels. In addition, the Paris Agreement resulted in increased
international pressure for the establishment of a global carbon price, and on companies to adopt carbon pricing
strategies. The pricing of greenhouse gas emissions may impact our operational costs, mainly through higher price for
electricity and fossil fuels as mining is an energy intensive industry.
Any of these new laws or regulations could result in significant additional environmental compliance costs or
delays in expansion projects. As of June 30, 2019, CODELCO had total provisions of U.S.$1.5 million for future
decommissioning and site restoration costs, primarily related to tailing dams, closures of mine operations and other
mining assets. CODELCO”s operations outside Chile are also subject to extensive international, national and local
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
CODELCO is developing and implementing environmental management systems at each of its divisions to
monitor and achieve compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. While CODELCO has budgeted
for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with these laws and regulations, there is no
guarantee that current levels of expenditures and capital commitments will be sufficient to achieve future compliance.
There also can be no assurance that CODELCO has been or will be at all times in complete compliance with
environmental laws and regulations, or that proceedings or civil actions will not be brought, or that fines and other
sanctions will not be imposed for such non-compliance in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that more
stringent enforcement of, or changes in, existing laws and regulations, the adoption of additional laws and regulations,
or the discovery of new facts resulting in increased liabilities would not have a material adverse effect on CODELCO”s
business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
For further information on environmental matters, and current and proposed environmental laws and
regulations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity
and Capital Resources—Environmental” and “Regulatory Framework—Environmental Regulations.”
CODELCO is subject to legal proceedings and legal compliance risks that may adversely impact its financial
condition, results of operations and liquidity.
CODELCO spends substantial resources ensuring that it complies with local regulations, contractual
obligations and other legal standards. Notwithstanding this, CODELCO is subject to a variety of legal proceedings and
compliance risks in respect of various matters, including tax- and labor-related matters that arise in the course of its
business and in its industry as well as disputes with governmental agencies. For example, CODELCO is subject to
various labor proceedings in which workers and families of deceased workers allege that working conditions caused the
workers to contract silicosis. Although CODELCO has undertaken precautionary measures, there have been fatalities
involving CODELCO personnel in the past and there may be additional fatalities in the future. Serious accidents,
including fatalities, may subject CODELCO to substantial penalties, civil litigation or criminal prosecution. Claims for
damages to persons, including claims for bodily injury or loss of life, could result in substantial costs and liabilities,
which could materially and adversely affect CODELCO”s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If
CODELCO”s safety record were to substantially deteriorate over time or CODELCO were to suffer substantial
penalties or criminal prosecution for violation of health and safety regulations, CODELCO”s contracts may be
cancelled or it may not be awarded future business. In addition, CODELCO has filed administrative appeals against
three statements on the Company issued by the Comptroller General of the Republic of Chile (the “Comptroller”) in
2017. The Company estimates that these statements have had, as of the date of this prospectus, a negative effect of
approximately U.S.$100 million due to a reduction in production related to the delay in awarding specific contracts and
19
the delay of investments. A final decision regarding this matter is pending. A negative outcome in an unusual or
significant legal proceeding or compliance investigation could also adversely affect our financial condition and results
of operations. For information regarding CODELCO”s current significant legal proceedings, see “Business and
Properties—Comptroller General of the Republic” and “Business and Properties—Legal Proceedings.”
Earthquake damage to CODELCO*s properties and operations could negatively affect CODELCOS*s results.
Chile is located in a seismic area that exposes CODELCO”s operations to the risk of earthquakes. Chile has
been adversely affected by powerful earthquakes in the past, including, most recently, (1) in 2015 when an earthquake
struck the coast of Chile, (ii) in 2014 when an earthquake struck the north of Chile and (iii) in 2010 when a severe
earthquake struck the southern central region of Chile. The 2015 earthquake measured 8.3 on the Richter scale and
affected the coast of Chile just north of Santiago, with no significant consequences for the rest of the country. The
2014 earthquake measured 8.2 on the Richter scale and affected mainly the Arica and Tarapacá Regions, with no
significant consequences for the rest of the country. The 2010 earthquake and its aftershocks, as well as tsunamis from
adjacent coastal waters, caused severe damage to Chile”s infrastructure, including roads, bridges, ports and Santiago”s
international airport, affecting areas across the country.
Although the 2015, 2014 and 2010 earthquakes did not have any substantial effect on CODELCO or its results
of operations, and although CODELCO’”s mining operations are subject to, and designed to withstand, damage from
significant seismic events, an earthquake occurring closer to CODELCO”s operations in northern Chile could cause
damage to its mining operations that would not be covered by insurance, except to the extent that its production ceased
for more than 30 days. Any such damages caused by an earthquake that were not covered by insurance could have an
adverse effect on CODELCO*s results of financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Future compliance with a changing and complex regulation scheme may require changes in CODELCO*s business.
CODELCO’s exploration, mining, milling, smelting and refining activities are also subject to
non-environmental Chilean laws and regulations (including certain industry technical standards), which change from
time to time. Matters subject to regulation include, but are not limited to, concession fees, transportation, production,
reclamation, export, taxation and labor standards.
While CODELCO does not believe that compliance with such laws and regulations will have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, there can be no assurance that
more stringent enforcement of, or change in, existing laws and regulations, the adoption of additional laws and
regulations, or the discovery of new facts resulting in increased liabilities or costs would not have a material adverse
effect on CODELCO”s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
CODELCO*s business plans are based on estimates of the volume and grade of CODELCO*s ore deposits, which
could be incorrect.
CODELCOSs ore deposits (its resources and reserves) described in this prospectus constitute estimates based
on standard evaluation methods generally used in the international mining industry and on assumptions as to production
costs and market prices. The actual ore deposits may not conform to geological, metallurgical or other expectations,
and the volume and grade of ore recovered may be below the estimated levels. Lower market prices, as well as
increased production costs, reduced recovery rates and other factors, may render CODELCO*s ore deposits uneconomic
to exploit and may result in revision of its reserve and resource estimates from time to time. Reserve and resource data
are not indicative of future results of operations. See “Business and Properties—Ore Reserves.”
CODELCO business requires substantial capital expenditures.
CODELCOSs business is capital-intensive. Specifically, the exploration and exploitation of copper reserves,
mining, smelting and refining costs, the maintenance of machinery and equipment and compliance with applicable laws
and regulations require substantial capital expenditures. CODELCO must continue to invest capital to maintain or to
increase the amount of copper reserves that it exploits and the amount of copper that it produces. CODELCO expects
to make capital expenditures of approximately U.S.$13.4 billion between 2019 and 2021 on major projects, which it
intends to finance through operations, including capitalization and retention of profit, in addition to new borrowings
20
from banks and capital markets. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditure Program.” There can be no assurance that
CODELCO will be able to maintain its production levels or generate sufficient cash flow, capitalize a sufficient amount
of its profit or have access to sufficient investments, loans or other financing alternatives to finance its capital
expenditure program at a level necessary to continue its exploration, exploitation and refining activities at or above its
present levels.
CODELCO*s future performance depends on the results of current and future innovation and exploration.
CODELCO has a two-pronged exploration program that is focused on increasing reserves of its existing
divisions and exploring for new deposits outside of its current operations. As the ore quality of CODELCO*s reserves
continues to decline over time, innovation and exploration are increasingly important to CODELCO”s success.
CODELCO expects to maintain its production levels through its expansion and development projects for the next three
years. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and
Capital Resources—Capital Expenditure Program” for more detail. While initial results have been favorable, there can
be no guarantee that CODELCO”s exploration program will continue to be successful. In addition, there may be some
degree of execution risk associated with the expansion of operations into deeper mines or mines at higher altitudes.
CODELCO”s expansion program could also experience delays or be negatively impacted by higher costs. If
CODELCO”s expansion program is not successful, it would materially and adversely affect its copper production
levels. For a description of CODELCO””s current development programs, see “Business and Properties—Resource
Development.”
CODELCO has experienced high energy costs and may experience higher energy costs in the future.
Energy represents a material portion of the production costs for CODELCO. The main energy sources for
CODELCOSs operations are electricity, liquid fuels (such as diesel, fuel oil and gasoline) and natural gas. Since 2004,
there has been a restricted supply of natural gas from Argentina. CODELCO*s production costs have increased due to
these shortages as it must rely on electricity generated from more expensive sources, such as diesel, oil or coal, and
these increased costs have adversely affected CODELCO”s results. CODELCO has taken certain actions to secure the
sources from which it can procure energy, including entering into long-term electrical contracts at competitive prices,
participating in the construction of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) re-gasification terminals and entering into a five-year
supply contract for liquid fuels which are expected to meet its energy requirements. See “Business and Properties—
Production Costs of Copper.” In 2014, Chile passed a carbon tax targeting the power sector, which became effective in
2017. CODELCO began paying the taxes due under this law in 2018. If CODELCO*s energy suppliers do not perform
as expected or if there is an increase in energy costs in the future, CODELCO”s profits and cash flow could be
adversely affected.
Any interruption or destruction or loss of data in CODELCO*s information technology systems due to technical or
operational malfunctions or cyber-attacks could have a material adverse effect on its reputation, business, financial
condition and results of operations.
CODELCO is subject to a variety of information technology and system risks as a part of its normal course of
operations, including potential breakdown, invasion, virus, cyber-attack, cyber-fraud, security breach, and destruction
or interruption of CODELCO””s information technology systems by third parties or CODELCO””s own personnel.
Although CODELCO has security measures and controls in place that are designed to mitigate these risks, a breach of
its security measures or a loss of information could occur and result in a loss of material and confidential information,
breach of privacy laws and a disruption to its business activities. In addition, information systems could be damaged or
interrupted by natural disasters, force majeure events, telecommunications failures, power loss, acts of war or terrorism,
computer viruses, malicious code, physical or electronic security breaches, intentional or inadvertent user misuse or
error, or similar events or disruptions. Any of these or other events could cause interruptions, delays, loss of critical or
sensitive data or similar effects, which could have a material adverse impact on the protection of intellectual property,
confidential and proprietary information, and on CODELCOS*s business, financial condition and results of operations.
21
Labor disruptions involving CODELCO”s employees or the employees of its independent contractors could affect
CODELCO* production levels and costs.
As of December 31, 2018, CODELCO employed 18,036 employees, approximately 92.3% of whom were
covered by collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. Most of these collective bargaining agreements have
terms of two to three years. CODELCO has experienced material work slowdowns, work stoppages and strikes in the
past. Most recently, CODELCO experienced a 39-day strike involving 83 union workers from the Andina Division, a
one-day strike that blocked access to the Chuquicamata mine to four of the six labor unions and a 14-day strike
involving 3,200 union workers in the Chuquicamata Division (or approximately 67% of the total work force). These
strikes diminished production by 17,600 metric tons.
CODELCO negotiated nine collective bargaining agreements in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. In
2018, CODELCO negotiated 18 collective bargaining agreements. Twelve collective bargaining agreements, covering a
total of 7,081 employees at the Andina Division, Salvador Division, Mina Ministro Hales Division, El Teniente
Division and Gabriela Mistral Division, were negotiated ahead of schedule without any conflicts or work stoppages.
Five collective bargaining agreements, covering a total of 2,601 employees at the Radomiro Tomic Division, Mina
Ministro Hales Division, Chuquicamata Division and our headquarters, were negotiated on schedule without any
conflicts or work stoppages. The remaining collective bargaining agreement was reached at the conclusion of the
39-day strike with the workers from the Andina Division.
CODELCO has experienced work disruptions in the past, and there can be no assurance that a work slowdown
or work stoppage will not occur prior to or upon the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreements.
Management is unable to estimate the effect of any such work slowdown, stoppage or strike on CODELCO”s
production levels. Work slowdowns, stoppages or other labor-related developments affecting CODELCO could have a
material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of CODELCO. In
particular, work slowdowns, stoppages and other labor-related events could increase CODELCO”s independent
contracting costs. In addition, pursuant to the Código del Trabajo (the “Labor Code of Chile”), CODELCO could be
held liable for the payment of labor and social security obligations owed to the employees of independent contractors
(or their subcontractors) if the independent contractors (or their subcontractors) do not fulfill those payment obligations.
For further information on employee and independent contractor matters, including recent work disruptions, see
“Business and Properties—Employees.”
CODELCO is subject to an extensive labor reform law promulgated by the Government of Chile that could affect its
business and operating results in the future.
In 2016, the Government of Chile promulgated an extensive labor reform law (the “Labor Reform Law”),
which became effective in 2017. The Labor Reform Law prevents Chilean companies from hiring temporary
replacements for striking employees and also prevents the replacement of striking employees with other existing
employees of the company. This may have an adverse effect on our overall employment and operating costs, and may
increase the likelihood of business disruptions in Chile. However, it has not been a practice of CODELCO to replace
employees on strike, and there has not been an increase in labor disruptions in Chile since the law became effective.
In addition, under the Labor Reform Law, CODELCO and its labor unions negotiate from time to time the
minimum services and emergency equipment that the labor unions must provide in case of a strike during a collective
bargaining process. Currently, the following minimum services must be strictly enforced: (i) services that are strictly
necessary to protect the physical assets and premises of the Company and to prevent accidents; (ii) services strictly
necessary to guarantee the rendering of all services of public utility, and the attention of the population and basic needs,
including those related to life, safety and health; and (iii) services strictly necessary to guarantee the prevention of
sanitary or environmental damage. If there is any disagreement between CODELCO and its labor unions regarding such
minimum services and emergency equipment, the parties may resolve such disagreement through administrative
proceedings before the Dirección Regional del Trabajo (Regional Labor Board), which are subject to challenge by the
parties before the Director Nacional del Trabajo (National Labor Board).
As of December 31, 2018, CODELCO employed 18,036 employees, approximately 92.3% of whom were
covered by collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. CODELCO currently has positive labor relations with
these unions. CODELCO is currently unable to estimate the impact that the Labor Reform Law or similar reforms will
22
have on its labor relations with respect to labor unions, or on its business, financial condition, operating results and
prospects.
CODELCO engages in hedging activity from time to time, particularly with respect to its copper production, which
may not be successful and may result in losses to CODELCO.
CODELCO from time to time hedges certain future copper delivery commitments and production in order to
manage the risks associated with copper price volatility. CODELCO currently does not have any production hedging
commitments. See notes 27 and 28 to the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 27 and 28 to the
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
CODELCOSs production hedging activities could cause it to lose the benefit of an increase in copper prices if
copper prices increase over the level of CODELCO”s hedge position, as occurred in 2012. The cash flows from and the
mark-to-market values of CODELCO”s production hedges can be affected by factors such as the market price of
copper, copper price volatility and interest rates, which are not under CODELCO*s control.
CODELCOSs production hedging agreements contain events of default and termination events that could lead
to early close-outs of CODELCO””s hedges. These include failure to pay, breach of the agreement, misrepresentation,
default under CODELCO*s loans or other hedging agreements and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination of
CODELCO”s hedging agreements, the cash flows from the affected hedge instruments would cease and CODELCO
and the relevant hedge counterparty would settle all of CODELCO*s obligations at that time. In that event, there could
be a lump sum payment to be made either to or by CODELCO. The magnitude and direction of such a payment would
depend upon, among other things, the characteristics of the particular hedge instruments that were terminated and the
market price of copper and copper price volatility and interest rates at the time of termination.
In addition to its production hedging activities, CODELCO has hedged a portion of its exchange rate and
interest rate exposure by entering into forward exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the UF to U.S. dollar
exchange rate for its outstanding UF-denominated bonds. CODELCO also periodically enters into futures contracts at
the request of customers with respect to certain sales of its own copper in order to provide its customers with protection
against fluctuation in the sale price paid in connection with such sales. No assurance can be given that CODELCO will
be adequately protected by its hedging activities.
See “Business and Properties—Marketing—Pricing and Hedging,” notes 29 and 30 to the 2017-2018
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 29 and 30 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information on CODELCO*s hedging activity.
Global economic, political and regulatory developments may adversely affect CODELCO.
Revenue from international sales constitutes a material portion of our total revenue, and we anticipate it will
continue to for the foreseeable future. The current U.S. administration has called for substantial changes to United
States foreign trade policy, including the possibility of imposing greater restrictions on international trade and
significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States. For example, the United States has recently
enacted a series of tariffs on the import of Chinese products. The continued threats of tariffs, trade restrictions and trade
barriers could have a generally disruptive impact on the global economy and, therefore, negatively impact our revenues.
Given the relatively fluid regulatory environment in China and the United States and uncertainty on how the United
States or foreign governments will act with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies, there could be
additional tax or other regulatory changes in the future. Any such changes could adversely impact CODELCO”s
business, financial condition and results of operations. If our revenues generated from international sales decline
significantly as a result, it could have a material adverse effect on CODELCO”s business and results of operations.
The planned departure of the UK from the European Union could have an adverse effect on CODELCO*s business,
financial condition and potential growth in Europe.
The decision of the UK to withdraw from the European Union (“EU”), commonly referred to as “Brexit,” has
caused significant volatility in the global financial markets. Brexit has also given rise to calls for the governments of
other EU member states to consider withdrawal from the EU. These developments, or the perception that they could
23
occur, have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of
global financial markets, including by significantly reducing global market liquidity or restricting the ability of key
market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Brexit is likely to continue to adversely affect European and
worldwide economic conditions and could contribute to greater instability in the global financial markets before and
after the terms of the UK”s future relationship with the EU are settled.
These effects could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and potential growth into
Europe. However, the eventual effects of the UK”s planned departure from the EU on CODELCO”s business and
financial condition are uncertain at this time.
Risks Relating to CODELCO*s Relationship with the Government of Chile
Important corporate governance matters, the annual budget and financing programs are determined by or subject to
the approval of the President of Chile and the Ministries of Finance and Mining.
CODELCO is a mining, industrial and commercial state-owned enterprise of indefinite duration with its own
legal personality and capital. CODELCO”s relationship with the Government of Chile is through the Ministry of
Mining, and is governed by Decree Law 1,350, as amended by Law 20,392, its bylaws and other applicable legislation.
The President of Chile is vested with the authority analogous to that of the shareholders of a corporation (sociedad
anónima) under Chilean law, which may be delegated in whole or in part to the Ministers of Finance and Mining,
jointly. Pursuant to such authority, the President of Chile (i) participates in the designation of the Board of Directors by
designating three directors without external input and by electing six directors on the basis of third-party short lists; (11)
appoints the Chairman of the Board of Directors; and (iii) may approve and amend the bylaws of the Company, by
means of an executive decree issued jointly by the Ministries of Finance and Mining. In 2017, Miguel Juan Sebastián
Piñera Echenique was re-elected as President of Chile, after having previously served as President from 2010-2014.
Mr. Piñera*s administration began on March 11, 2018. Senior management and administration of the Company are
vested in its Board of Directors and further delegated to its Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to Decree Law 1,350,
CODELCO”s Board of Directors must submit its proposed annual budget to the Ministries of Finance and Mining for
approval and possible revision. In addition, Decree Law 1,350 requires CODELCO to include as part of its proposed
annual budget a debt amortization budget that includes interest and principal payments on CODELCO”s debts,
including the notes. CODELCO must also submit a three-year Plan de Negocios y Desarrollo (a Business
Development Plan, or “BDP”, report, approved by the Company”s Board of Directors, to the Ministries of Finance and
Mining by March of each year. There is no guarantee that actions taken with respect to the appointment of
CODELCOSs directors, amendments to its bylaws, and revision and approval of its budget, including CODELCO”s
capitalization of profit, will be adopted by the administration of the new President and/or will be the same as they
would be in a privately owned company. See “Management” and “Regulatory Framework.”
CODELCO funding through retention of profits is restricted and is subject to the approval of the Ministries of
Finance and Mining.
As a state-owned enterprise and according to its governing law, CODELCO’s profit is required to be
transferred to the Chilean Treasury. Before June 30 of each year, the Ministries of Finance and Mining are required to
determine, by means of a joint decree, the amount, if any, that the Company shall allocate to the creation of
capitalization and reserve funds as retention of profits. Between 2014 and 2019, the Government of Chile has
authorized the capitalization by capital injection and retention of profit within CODELCO in an aggregate amount of
U.S.$3.3 billion. Although CODELCO currently expects the Ministries of Finance and Mining to make available a
substantial amount of its pre-tax profit over the next three years, a joint decree of the Ministries of Finance and Mining
is required each year and the amounts approved in any given year, if any, could vary significantly.
IfCODELCO”s funding through capitalization and retention of profits, depreciation, amortization and deferred
taxes are insufficient to fund capital expenditures and if it is unable to otherwise finance planned expenditures,
CODELCO'”s business would be adversely affected. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” In addition, if the Government of Chile does
not authorize additional capitalization or the retention of profits, our credit rating may be adversely affected, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
24
CODELCO is subject to special taxes.
The Copper Reserve Law currently requires the payment of a 10% special export tax on receivables of the
sales proceeds that CODELCO receives and transfers to Chile from the export of copper and related by-products
produced by CODELCO. As a result, the Banco Central de Chile (the “Central Bank of Chile”) retains 10% of the
amounts from such sales that CODELCO transfers to its Chilean account. All such amounts are then transferred via the
Central Bank of Chile. The Copper Reserve Law has an adverse effect on our ability to retain earnings for purposes of
capital expenditures. In July 2019, the Congress of Chile issued a new resolution to repeal the Copper Reserve Law.
Under this resolution, CODELCO will remain subject to the 10% special export tax until 2028. Beginning in 2029, the
tax will be reduced annually by 25% until 2032 when CODELCO will no longer be subject to such tax. See
“Summary—Recent Developments—Repeal of the Copper Reserve Law.”
Since the 2012 fiscal year, CODELCO has been subject to a mining tax on operating income generated during
the operating year at progressive rates between 5% and 14%. During 2018, CODELCO distributed a total of U.S.$1.8
billion (including income tax, and export tax payments and distributions) to the Chilean Treasury. See “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—
Distributions to the Chilean Treasury” and “Regulatory Framework.” The statutory rate of the mining tax was 5% for
each of 2016, 2017 and 2018.
In 2014, an extensive tax reform was enacted in Chile through which certain cornerstones of the Chilean tax
system were changed. Among these changes, the tax reform modified the corporate tax regime by allowing for the
coexistence of two alternative tax regimes from 2017 onwards. Consequently, as of January 1, 2017, Chilean
companies are able to opt between the following two tax regimes: (i) the partially integrated regime (parcialmente
integrado) or (ii) the attributable taxation regime (renta atribuida). Under both regimes, the corporate tax rate
gradually increased from 21% in 2014, to 22.5% in 2015 and to 24% in 2016. In 2017, depending on the tax regime
chosen by a company, the corporate tax rate was increased to 25% (in the case of the attributable taxation regime) and
25.5% (in the case of the partially integrated regime). On January 1, 2018, the tax rate applicable to the partially
integrated regime increased to 27%. In addition, this tax reform also contemplates additional changes, such as thin
capitalization rules, the taxation of controlled foreign corporations with passive income (effective January 2016) and an
increase to 0.8% in the maximum stamp tax rate from 2016 onwards.
Nonetheless, CODELCO as a 100% state-owned corporation, will not be subject to either of the
aforementioned tax regimes but instead will be subject to a corporate tax rate on its net taxable income determined
under full accounting records. Its corporate tax rate has gradually increased from 21% in 2014 to up to 25% since 2017.
This regime has been confirmed by Circular No. 49 (Oficio Circular No. 49) issued by the Servicio de Impuestos
Internos (the “Internal Tax Services, or “SII”) in 2016. Currently, CODELCO is also subject to a 40% tax on net
earnings applicable to state-owned enterprises as specified by Decree Law 2,398, Art. 2. For further information, see
“Taxation—Chilean Taxation.”
Constitutional amendments could be proposed that would allow private ownership of CODELCO.
CODELCO is 100% owned by the Government of Chile and a constitutional amendment approved by the
Chilean Congress would be required to allow private participation in CODELCO”s ownership. Although there has been
no formal governmental action to permit private investment in CODELCO, no assurance can be given that such a
constitutional amendment will not be proposed to the Chilean Congress in the future. See “Regulatory Framework—
Overview of the Regulatory Regime.”
Risks Relating to Chile
CODELCO growth and profitability depend on political stability and economic activity in Chile and other
emerging markets.
Almost all of CODELCO’s revenues are derived from its operations in Chile. Accordingly, CODELCO”s
results of operations and general financial condition depend in part on Chilean markets for labor and certain materials
and equipment, and on factors relating to Chilean political stability generally. While Chile has experienced relative
political stability in recent years, there can be no assurance that future developments in or affecting the Chilean political
25
situation, including economic or political instability in other emerging markets, will not result in material and adverse
effects on CODELCO”s business, financial condition or results of operations. CODELCO also could be adversely
affected by legal or regulatory changes over which it has no control.
CODELCO* business performance is subject to the effects of inflation and changes in the value of the peso.
Although Chilean inflation has decreased in recent years, Chile has experienced high levels of inflation in the
past. High levels of inflation in Chile could adversely affect the Chilean economy and have an adverse effect on
CODELCOSs results of operations if the high inflation is not accompanied by a matching devaluation of the local
currency. There can be no assurance that Chilean inflation will not revert to prior levels in the future. In addition, the
measures taken by the Central Bank of Chile to control inflation have often included maintaining a tight monetary
policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and economic growth.
The following table shows the annual rate of inflation (as measured by changes in the Chilean consumer price
index and as reported by the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas, or the “Chilean National Institute of Statistics”) through
June 30, 2019:
Year Inflation (CPI)

2017. 2.3
2018. 2.6

Source: Chilean National Institute of Statistics
A significant portion of CODELCO’”s operating costs are denominated in pesos and could therefore be
significantly affected by the rate of inflation in Chile. If inflation in Chile were to increase without a corresponding
depreciation of the peso, or if the value of the peso were to appreciate relative to the U.S. dollar without the peso
experiencing corresponding deflation in Chile, the financial position and results of operations of CODELCO as well as
the value of the notes could be materially and adversely affected. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
The variation of the U.S. dollar against the peso constitutes CODELCO”s main foreign exchange rate
exposure. The mismatch between assets and liabilities denominated in pesos amounts to a net liability for the Company
of U.S.$1.9 billion (7.1% of the total amount of liabilities on a consolidated basis) as of June 30, 2019. In order to
cover this risk, CODELCO has, and currently is, engaged in hedging transactions to partially mitigate the effects of the
volatility of foreign exchange rates. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations—CODELCO
engages in hedging activity from time to time, particularly with respect to its copper production, which may not be
successful and may result in losses to CODELCO.”
Risks Relating to the Offering
In case of a default under the notes, the ability of holders to attach property of CODELCO may be limited by
Chilean law.
CODELCOSs activities in Chile are dependent on concessions granted by the Chilean Ordinary Courts with
respect to CODELCO”s mining rights. These concessions are granted for indefinite terms in the case of exploitation
concessions and for two-year periods in the case of exploration concessions (renewable with certain limitations). As a
general matter, the Ordinary Courts, through legal proceedings brought by third parties (or by the Chilean Treasury in
case of noncompliance with the obligation to pay annual fees), have the legal right to terminate or annul the
concessions. Pursuant to the Chilean Mining Code, all mining concessions, as well as certain raw materials and other
property or assets permanently dedicated to the exploration or extraction of minerals, cannot be subject to an order of
attachment, except with respect to mortgages, where the debtor consents to the attachment in the relevant legal
proceeding or when the debtor is a stock corporation. In addition, pursuant to the Constitution, mining concessions
corresponding to mining deposits exploited by CODELCO upon its creation in 1976 can be subject neither to
26
attachment nor to any act of disposition by CODELCO. As a result, the rights of holders to attach property of
CODELCO in the event of a default under the notes would be limited by such provisions. See “Regulatory
Framework—Mining Regulations.”
CODELCO is permitted to incur additional indebtedness ranking equally to the notes or certain secured
indebtedness.
The indenture governing the notes will not contain any restrictions on the amount of additional indebtedness
which may be incurred by CODELCO or its subsidiaries; however, the notes contain restrictions on the ability of
CODELCO and its subsidiaries to incur certain secured indebtedness as set forth in “Description of Notes—Limitations
on Liens” below. As a result, CODELCO is permitted to issue additional unsecured debt that ranks on an equal basis
with the notes. If CODELCO incurs any additional unsecured debt that ranks on an equal basis with the notes, the
holders of that debt will be entitled to share with the holders of the notes in any proceeds distributed in connection with
an insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of CODELCO subject to satisfaction of
certain debt limitations. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to the holder of the notes
under such an event. The indenture does not require CODELCO to make payments under the notes ratably with
payments being made under any other obligations.
If certain changes to tax law were to occur, CODELCO would have the option to redeem the notes.
Under current Chilean law and regulations, payments of interest to holders of the notes that are not residents of
Chile for purposes of Chilean taxation generally will be subject to Chilean withholding tax at a rate of 4%. Subject to
certain exceptions, CODELCO will pay Additional Amounts (as defined in “Description of Notes—Payments of
Additional Amounts”) so that the amount received by the holder after Chilean withholding tax will equal the amount
that would have been received if no such taxes had been applicable. The notes are redeemable at the option of
CODELCO in whole, but not in part, at any time, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
any Additional Amounts due thereon if, as a result of changes in the laws or regulations after the date of this prospectus
affecting Chilean taxation, CODELCO becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to interest on such
notes in respect of withholding or deduction of Chilean tax at a rate in excess of 4%. CODELCO is unable to
determine whether such an increase in the withholding tax rate will ultimately be presented to or enacted by the Chilean
Congress; however, if such an increase were enacted, the notes would be redeemable at the option of CODELCO. See
“Description of Notes— Redemption—Tax Redemption” and “Taxation—Chilean Taxation.”
Our obligations under the notes will be subordinated to certain statutory liabilities.
Under Chilean bankruptcy law, the obligations under the notes are subordinated to certain statutory
preferences. In the event of a liquidation, such statutory preferences, including claims for salaries, wages, secured
obligations, social security, taxes and court fees and expenses, will have preference over any other claims, including
claims by any investor in respect of the notes.
The market value of the notes may depend on economic conditions in other countries over which CODELCO has no
control.
The market value of securities of Chilean companies, including CODELCO, is affected to varying degrees by
economic and market conditions in other emerging market countries. Although economic conditions in such countries
may differ significantly from economic conditions in Chile, investors” reactions to developments in any of these other
countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Chilean issuers. International financial
markets have in recent years experienced volatility due to a combination of international political and economic events.
There can be no assurance that the deterioration of emerging market economies or other events in or outside of the
region will not adversely affect the market value of the notes.
The transferability of the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market and restrictions on
transfer under applicable securities law.
The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. CODELCO does not
intend to list the notes on any national securities exchange or to seek admission of the notes for trading on any
27
securities exchange in the United States; however, we intend to apply to list the notes on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange. Furthermore, CODELCO does not intend to exchange the notes for notes that are registered under the
Securities Act. The dealer manager is not obligated to make a market in the notes. No assurance can be given about
the liquidity of any markets that may develop for the notes, the ability of holders to sell the notes or the prices at which
the notes could be sold. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest
rates, CODELCO”s operating results and the market for similar securities. There can be no assurance that any active
trading market will develop for the notes or that holders of the notes will be able to transfer or resell the notes without
registration under applicable securities laws.
We cannot assure you that our credit rating, or the credit ratings for the notes, will not be lowered, suspended or
withdrawn by the rating agencies.
Our credit rating is subject to change in the future, and the credit ratings of the notes may change after
issuance. Such ratings do not address all material risks relating to an investment in CODELCO, or its notes, but rather
reflect only the views of the rating agencies at the time the ratings are issued. An explanation of the significance of
such ratings may be obtained from the rating agencies. CODELCO cannot assure you that such credit rating will
remain in effect for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely
by the rating agencies, if, in the judgment of such rating agencies, circumstances so warrant. Our credit rating is an
important part of maintaining our liquidity. Any lowering, suspension or withdrawal of such ratings may potentially
increase our borrowing costs, and may have an adverse effect on our financial results and business operations and the
market price and marketability of the notes.
Payments claimed in Chile on the notes, pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, may be in pesos.
In the event that proceedings are brought against CODELCO in Chile, either to enforce a judgment or as a
result of an original action brought in Chile, CODELCO would not be required to discharge those obligations in a
currency other than Chilean currency. Such obligation may be satisfied in Chilean currency at the exchange rate in
effect on the date on which payments are made. As a result, holders of the notes may suffer a U.S. dollar shortfall
Judgment in Chile is obtained.
28
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of the notes issued under the Program will be used by us for general corporate
purposes.
29
EXCHANGE RATES
As a general matter, prior to 1989, Chilean law permitted the purchase and sale of foreign exchange only in
those cases explicitly authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. Law 18,840, the Central Bank of Chile Act,
liberalized the rules that govern the purchase and sale of foreign currency. The act empowers the Central Bank to
determine that certain purchases and sales of foreign currency specified by law must be carried out in the Mercado
Cambiario Formal (the “Formal Exchange Market”). The Formal Exchange Market is formed by the banks and
other entities so authorized by the Central Bank. The exchange rate of the transactions conducted in the Formal
Exchange Market is freely agreed upon by the parties thereto. For more information, see “Foreign Investment and
Exchange Controls in Chile.” The observed exchange rate for any given day equals the average exchange rate of the
transactions conducted in the Formal Exchange Market on the immediately preceding banking day, as certified by
the Central Bank (the “Observed Exchange Rate”). Even though the Central Bank is authorized to carry out its
transactions at the rates it sets, it generally uses the spot rate for its transactions. Authorized transactions by other
banks are generally carried out at the spot rate.
Purchases and sales of foreign exchange, which may be effected outside the Formal Exchange Market, can
be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Informal (the “Informal Exchange Market”). There are no limits imposed
on the extent to which the exchange rate in the Informal Exchange Market may fluctuate above or below the
Observed Exchange Rate.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high, low, average and period-end Observed
Exchange Rate for U.S. dollars for each year beginning in 2015 as reported by the Central Bank of Chile. The
Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.

“Cost of sales” for any period includes direct and indirect costs, depreciation and amortization associated with the production of copper and
byproducts, as well as purchase costs of third-party copper, sold by CODELCO in that period.
“Other expenses” is comprised principally of costs related to retirement plan and severance indemnities, costs of environmental exit,
restoration and similar liabilities and the 10% special export tax paid by the Company that is required by the Copper Reserve Law. See note
24.b of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.”
CODELCO is subject to a mining tax on operating income at progressive rates of between 5% and 14%. The tax is imposed on operating
income generated during the operating year. The statutory rate of the mining tax for CODELCO was 5.0% for each year between 2016 and
2018. See note 5 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—
Distributions to the Chilean Treasury” and “Regulatory Framework.” See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Relationship
with the Government of Chile—CODELCO is subject to special taxes” for information regarding the mining tax rate effective in 2016. In
addition, CODELCO is subject to the corporate income tax rate of 24% in 2016 and 25% since 2017 (pursuant to the recent tax reform) and
a 40% tax on net earnings applicable to state-owned enterprises as specified by Decree Law 2,398, Art. 2. See “Taxation—Chilean
Taxation” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital
Resources—Distributions to the Chilean Treasury” for additional information.
See note 9 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
All other assets includes other non-current financial assets, other non-current non-financial assets, accounts receivable from related parties,
non-current, non-current inventories, intangible assets other than goodwill, investment property, non-current tax assets and deferred tax
assets.
For the purpose of calculating CODELCOS*s ratio of earnings to fixed charges (adjusted), (i) “earnings” consist of Adjusted EBIT and (ii)
“fixed charges” consist of finance cost. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges (adjusted) is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBIT by finance
cost. Adjusted EBIT is calculated by adding finance cost, impairment charges net of reversals (as defined in note (1) of the following table)
and income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period. Adjusted EBIT, while not a financial performance measure under IFRS, is presented
as an indicator of funds available to service debt. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA data are included in this prospectus because such
data are used by investors to assess: (i) the operating trends and financial performance of the Company and (ii) the ability of the Company
to (a) service its existing debt, (b) incur new debt and (c) fund its capital expenditures. The Company believes that Adjusted EBIT, while
providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for profit for the period, as an indicator of operating
performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, the Company”s calculation of Adjusted EBIT may be
different than the calculation used by other companies and therefore, comparability may be affected. See notes 9, 23 and 24 of the Audited
Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further information about impairment charges and reversals and other
non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding finance cost, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization of assets plus export taxes and
impairment charges net of reversals (as defined in note (1) of the following table) to profit (loss) for the period. Adjusted EBITDA is
presented because it is a widely accepted indicator of funds available to service debt, although it is not an IFRS-based measure of liquidity
or performance. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA data are included in this prospectus because such data are used by investors to
assess: (i) the operating trends and financial performance of the Company and (ii) the ability of the Company to (a) service its existing debt,

Statements and Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” for further information about impairment charges and reversals and other non-cash charges.
The ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing debt by Adjusted EBITDA. Debt is defined as loans from financial
institutions plus bonds issued.
Adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to finance cost net of finance income. See note 9 above for further
information about Adjusted EBITDA and notes 23 and 24 of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for

MANAGEMENT”S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with CODELCO’s Consolidated Financial
Statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus, as well as the data set forth in
“Selected Consolidated Financial Data.” Except as otherwise disclosed herein or indicated, the Consolidated
Financial Statements and other financial information included in this prospectus are presented in accordance with
IFRS.
Overview
CODELCO is the world”s largest copper producer and one of the largest companies in Chile in terms of
revenues. CODELCO engages primarily in the exploration, development and extraction of ore-bearing copper and
byproducts, the processing of ore into refined copper and the international sale of refined copper and byproducts. In
2018, CODELCO derived 92% of its total sales from copper and 8% of its total sales from byproducts of its copper
production, primarily molybdenum, anodic slimes and sulfuric acid.
Since its inception in 1976, CODELCO has contributed approximately U.S.$108.2 billion (in
2018 currency) to the Chilean Treasury. Approximately 62.4% of this amount was generated in the last 15 years,
representing 8.8% of the revenues of the Government of Chile. In 2018, CODELCO accounted for 17.2% of all
Chilean exports.
CODELCOSs financial performance is significantly affected by the market prices of copper. As with prices
for other commodities, copper prices have historically been subject to wide fluctuations. LME copper prices
averaged 295.9 cents per pound in 2018, compared to 279.7 cents per pound in 2017 and 220.6 cents per pound in
2016. Copper prices averaged 279.6 cents per pound in the first half of 2019, compared to 313.7 cents per pound in
the first half of 2018. As of late 2016, copper prices have rebounded and our results have experienced a positive
effect. Nonetheless, since the first half of 2018 copper prices have been affected by the ongoing trade disputes
between the United States and China. For more information, see “Overview of the Copper Market.”
CODELCO continues to focus on controlling and limiting production cost increases. For many years,
CODELCO has been within the first or second quartiles in the industry with respect to costs. Currently, CODELCO
is in the third quartile of the industry?s cost curve. This position is primarily attributable to the quality of its ore
bodies, its economies of scale and the experience of its workforce and management. The Company intends to make
every effort, through investment and management, to be within the first or second quartiles of the industry?s cost
curve in the long-term. In 2018, CODELCO’s total costs and expenses were 245.1 cents per pound, compared to
227.1 cents per pound in 2017 and 214.6 cents per pound in 2016, mainly due to the appreciation of the Chilean
peso against the U.S. dollar, as well as higher input prices, non-cash charges related to the write-off of an innovation
project for underground mining and impairment losses on fixed assets associated with the Ventanas Division. The
increase in 2017 compared to 2016 is primarily attributable to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S.
dollar followed by higher interest expenses and higher fuel and energy expenses. For the six months ended June 30,
2019, CODELCOS*s total costs and expenses were 258.3 cents per pound, compared to 237.2 cents per pound for the
same period in 2018, mainly due to lower production in connection with weather disruptions in the northern area of
Chile, a 14-day strike at the Chuquicamata mine, upgrades at the Chuquicamata and Salvador smelters that
suspended operations temporarily, the negative impact of foreign exchange rate translation effects, higher bonuses
and other employment benefits associated with its collective bargaining agreements and higher financing costs.
In 2018, CODELCOS’S total cash cost was U.S.$5.1 billion, compared to U.S.$5.1 billion in 2017 and
U.S.$4.7 billion in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, CODELCOS*s total cash cost was U.S.$2.2 billion,
as compared to U.S.$2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Because a significant portion of
CODELCO*s costs are denominated in Chilean pesos, the depreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar
reduces CODELCO*s cash costs in U.S. dollar terms and, on the other hand, the appreciation increases these costs.
See “Exchange Rates.” In 2018, CODELCO’s cash cost of production was 139.1 cents per pound, compared to
135.9 cents per pound in 2017 and 126.1 cents per pound in 2016, primarily attributable to the appreciation of the
Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, lower production levels and higher main input prices. The higher cash cost in
2017 over 2016 is primarily attributable to higher operational costs, the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the
37
U.S. dollar and higher interest expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, 142.3 cents per pound, compared
to 137.6 cents per pound in the same period in 2018, primarily attributable to lower production levels as a result of
weather disruptions in the northern area of Chile, a 14-day strike at the Chuquicamata mine and lower by-product
credits due to lower volumes sold of molybdenum, sulfuric acid, gold and silver.
CODELCO conducts hedging operations from time to time to reduce the risks associated with copper price
volatility. CODELCO also periodically enters into futures contracts at the request of customers with respect to
certain sales of its own copper in order to provide its customers with protection against fluctuations in the sale price
paid in connection with such sales. Since 2005, CODELCO has occasionally hedged certain future copper delivery
commitments and production in order to manage the risks associated with copper price volatility. As of June 30,
2019, CODELCO did not have any production hedging commitments and, accordingly, there was no related impact
on pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2019. See notes 29 and 30 to the Unaudited Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements.
CODELCO has hedged a portion of its exchange rate and interest rate exposure by entering into forward
exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in the UF to U.S. dollar exchange rate for its outstanding
UF-denominated bonds. See “Business and Properties—Marketing—Pricing and Hedging” and “Risk Factors—
Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations—CODELCO engages in hedging activity from time to time, particularly
with respect to its copper production, which may not be successful and may result in losses to CODELCO.” See
also notes 29 and 30 to the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 29 and 30 to the Unaudited
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on CODELCO*s hedging activity.
Sale prices for CODELCO”s products are established principally by reference to prices quoted on the LME
and the New York Commodity Exchange (“COMEX”) in the case of copper, or prices published in “Metals
Weekly” in the case of molybdenum. The substantial majority of copper produced by CODELCO is sold under
annual contracts to customers who have long-term relationships with CODELCO. Pricing under such contracts is
based on prevailing average copper prices for a quotation period, generally for the month following the scheduled
month of shipment. Revenue under such contracts is recorded at provisional prices determined at the time of
shipment. Usually, an adjustment is then made after delivery of the copper, based on the pricing terms contained in
the applicable contract.
CODELCOSs financial performance is also significantly affected by the relationship of copper prices to
production costs. In 2018, CODELCO’s annual production, including its investment in El Abra and Anglo
American Sur, slightly decreased to 1.81 million metric tons from 1.84 million metric tons in 2017 and 1.83 million
metric tons in 2016. The lower production in 2018 was mainly due to lower production at the Andina, Mina
Ministro Hales, Gabriela Mistral and Chuquicamata Divisions, partially offset by increased production at the
Radomiro Tomic Division and CODELCOS”s stake in Anglo American Sur and El Abra. The higher production in
2017 was mainly due to an increase in production from the Andina and the Chuquicamata Divisions, partially offset
by a decrease in the Mina Ministro Hales and the El Teniente Divisions, as well as lower production coming from
CODELCOSs stake in El Abra.
In 2018, each one-cent change in CODELCO”s average annual copper price per pound caused a variation in
operating profit of approximately U.S.$40 million. CODELCO expects production to remain relatively stable in the
near future. By overcoming certain non-permanent disruptions, such as inclement weather and other natural events
and strikes, and producing more copper through the new Mina Ministro Hales ore body, CODELCO believes that it
will be able to compensate for diminished production resulting from lower average ore grades, which themselves are
expected to stabilize over time. Nonetheless, CODELCO continues to develop its project pipeline with the goal of
increasing its production marginally in the long-term.
CODELCO continues to develop and refine its mine management practices and programs to limit and
reduce its costs. These include the following: (i) improved deposit identification and mining techniques; (ii) the
implementation of early retirement plans and workforce reduction programs; (iii) an investment in human capital
and continuing to attract and retain a world-class management team and professionals of the highest caliber;
(iv) improved utilization of equipment and inputs used in the processes of copper production to increase productivity
and efficiency; and (v) the development of key projects, specifically the new mine level at El Teniente, the Andina
plant reallocation and the Chuquicamata underground mine projects. Production cash costs are influenced by
38
mining and production practices, as well as the type of ore from which copper is produced, production levels and
market prices of byproducts, and foreign exchange rates.
In 2018, CODELCO invested U.S.$3.6 million, mainly in expansion and development projects, including
the Chuquicamata underground mine, the Andina plant reallocation, the new mine level at El Teniente and the
upgrade of Chuquicamata, Salvador and El Teniente smelters. See “Business and Properties.”
In addition to selling its current production of copper, CODELCO may sell copper in its inventory from
past production cycles to meet the demand of its customers. CODELCO also purchases copper from third parties in
the spot market for resale. The Company makes these purchases and sales of third-party copper to meet the
requirements under sales contracts and to participate in the spot market for copper based on its evaluation of market
conditions. Other than pursuant to the joint venture with China Minmetals Non-Ferrous Metals Co. Ltd.
(“Minmetals”), a Chinese state-owned metals company, which ended in April 2016, CODELCO has no long-term
commitments regarding third-party copper purchases or sales. For more information on Minmetals, see “Business
and Properties—Associations, Joint Ventures and Partnerships.” CODELCO also engages in copper transactions
with its affiliates at market terms. In addition, CODELCO purchases copper from its affiliates for further processing
and resale.
The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the components of CODELCO”s consolidated
financial statements of operations expressed as a percentage of revenue under IFRS. These tables are qualified in
their entirety by reference to, and should be read together with, CODELCO”s Consolidated Financial Statements,

Sales of third-party copper …….. 1,021 487 (52.3)
Sales of byproducts and other…….. 611 547 (10.5)
Revenue decreased by 20.3% to U.S.$5.9 billion in the first six months of 2019, compared to
U.S.$7.4 billion for the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in CODELCO”s
40
average copper price from U.S.$2.93 per pound in the first six months of 2018 to U.S.$2.65 per pound in the first six
months of 2019 and a decrease in the volume of copper sold by 11.9% as a result of lower production levels. Our
own copper sales decreased by 15.7% mainly due to the decrease in CODELCO”s average copper price and 6.6%
lower volume sold. The decline in copper prices in July, August and September 2019 may result in a downward
adjustment in CODELCO”s revenues and trade receivables recognized in June 2019, primarily attributable to
adjustments to account for the provisional billing of copper at the time of shipment and the final amount billed after
shipment. Because the downward adjustment to provisional invoices is expected to be greater than the decreases in
copper prices between the date of sale and the final pricing as a result of changes in the forward curves used to effect
the provisional pricing, the impact to CODELCO”s revenues would be expected to be substantially greater than the
decrease in copper prices during the third quarter of 2019, and the impact to CODELCO”s net profit would be
expected to be substantially greater than the decrease in revenues during the third quarter of 2019. Such adjustments
will be recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. See
“Critical Accounting Estimates—Provisional Pricing Arrangements” for more information.
Third-party copper sales totaled U.S.$487 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to
U.S.$1.0 billion for the same period in 2018, attributable to lower average copper prices and a 44.5% decline in
volume sold. In general, changes in the volume of third-party copper sold are dependent upon CODELCO*s need to
meet requirements under sales contracts and, to a lesser extent, purchase copper under spot market terms if
CODELCO*s own production is insufficient to cover the quantities that it has agreed to supply its customers.
Sales of byproducts and other decreased by 10.5% to U.S.$547 million in the first six months of 2019,
compared to U.S.$611 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily due to the 11.8% decrease
in molybdenum volume sold, partially offset by a 3.6% increase in molybdenum average price.
Cost of sales. CODELCOS”s cost of sales in any period includes both the mining and production costs of its
own copper and byproducts and the purchase costs of copper, as well as gold, silver and other byproducts, at market
prices from third parties and processed and sold by CODELCO in that period. The following table sets forth
CODELCOSs total cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019:
Six months ended

Cost of third-party sales ……. 1,004 482 (52.0)
Cost of byproducts and other 323 315 (2.4)
CODELCOS*s total cost of sales decreased by 16.4% to U.S.$4.7 billion (78.8% of sales) in the first six
months of 2019, compared to U.S.$5.6 billion (75.1% of sales) for the same period in 2018, primarily due to a lower
volume sold, in addition to operational cost reduction efforts and the depreciation of the Chilean peso against the
U.S. dollar, which positively impacted wages and third-party services expenses. Some of the minerals that
CODELCO sells are purchased at market prices, and CODELCO also purchases mineral ore from third parties at
market prices that it processes and sells as copper.
CODELCOS’s cost of sales of its own copper decreased to U.S.$3.9 billion during the first six months of
2019, compared to U.S.$4.3 billion for the same period in 2018. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower
volume sold in addition to lower operational costs as the result of cost reduction efforts and the depreciation of the
Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, which decreased wage and third-party services expenses.
The cost of copper purchased from third parties decreased by 52.0% in the first six months of 2019 to
U.S.$482 million, compared to U.S.$1 billion for the same period in 2018. The decrease was caused by a 44.5%
lower volume of third-party copper sold and by a decrease in the average price of copper.
41
The cost of byproducts and other decreased by 2.4% to U.S.$315 million in the first six months of 2019,
compared to U.S.$323 million for the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower volume sold of molybdenum,
sulfuric acid, gold and silver.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 3.6% to U.S.$1.01 billion during the six months of
2019, compared to U.S.$ 1.04 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily due to lower
production since the amounts recognized in property, plant and equipment are depreciated under a
units-of-production method.
Gross profit. Gross profit amounted to U.S.$1.3 billion for the first six months of 2019, compared to U.S.$
1.8 billion for the same period in 2018. The 32.1% decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues
mainly due to lower average price received for CODELCO”s product mix and lower volumes sold of copper,
molybdenum, sulfuric acid, silver and gold, partially offset by the decrease in the cost of sales mainly due to lower
volumes sold and cost reduction efforts.
Other income, by function. The largest components of other income, by function, are sales of services to
third parties, insurance claims received and sales of assets. Other income, by function increased 38.5% to U.S.$91
million in the first six months of 2019, compared to U.S.$66 million for the same period in 2018, primarily
attributable to miscellaneous sales, guarantees charged to contractors, as well as an insurance claim compensation.
Administrative expenses. Administrative expenses decreased to U.S.$203 million (3.4% of total revenues)
during the first six months of 2019, compared to U.S.$232 million (3.1% of total revenues) for the same period in
2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to the positive effect of the depreciation of the Chilean peso against
the U.S. dollar and the decrease in the depreciation and amortization.
Other expenses. Other expenses amounted to U.S.$985 million (16.7% of total revenues) during the first
six months of 2019, compared to U.S.$964 million (13.0% of total revenues) for the same period in 2018. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in indirect fixed costs and the impact of the collective bargaining
process, especially at the Chuquicamata Division, partially offset by the decrease in the amount of special export tax
payments due to a lower average copper price and the absence of non-cash charges related to a U.S.$138.1 million
write-off in connection with an underground mining innovation project during the first half of 2018.
The following table sets forth the principal components of CODELCO”s other expenses for the periods
indicated:

Bonus for the end of collective bargaining and other employee benefits 88 143
Other expenses . 278 385
Total other expenses by function . $ 964 $ 985
CODELCO recorded other expenses of U.S.$598 million and U.S.$457 million in the first six months of
2018 and 2019, respectively, pursuant to the Copper Reserve Law, which levies a 10% tax on CODELCO”s exports
of its own copper and related byproducts. Under the accounting policies adopted by Codelco, this export tax is
accounted for in “other expenses.” The decrease of this tax recorded in the first six months of 2019 compared to the
same period in 2018 is primarily attributable to lower revenues from CODELCO”s own copper sales.
Bonuses for the end of collective bargaining and other employee benefits increased to U.S.$143 million
from U.S.$88 million, mainly due to higher number of employees involved in such negotiations, in addition to an
increase in the bonus amounts.
42
Other expenses increased from U.S.$278 million to U.S.$385 million due to an increase in indirect fixed
costs, partially offset by the absence of a non-cash charges related to a U.S.$138.1 million write-off in connection
with an underground mining innovation project during the first half of 2018.
Finance costs. Finance costs increased to U.S.$260 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to
U.S.$238 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to costs incurred in
connection with the consummation of the tender offer in February 2019. The average interest rate was 4.3% as of
June 30, 2019, compared to 4.3% as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, 85% of our debt had a fixed rate and
15% had a floating rate.
Share of profit(loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method. CODELCO”s net
equity participation in related companies decreased to a net profit of U.S.$5 million in the six months of 2019,
compared to a net profit of U.S.$74 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to
the decrease in the average copper price which negatively impacted the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur”s
profitability, as well as production losses due to weather disruptions in the northern area of Chile.
Foreign exchange differences. According to Decree Law 1,350, CODELCO maintains its accounting
records in U.S. dollars, recording transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars at the exchange rate current at the
date of each transaction and, subsequently, for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar, at the closing exchange rate determined by the Central Bank of Chile. CODELCO experienced a loss
from foreign exchange differences of U.S.$60 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to a gain from
foreign exchange differences of U.S.$ 96 million in the same period of 2018. The loss recorded in the first six
months of 2019 is primarily attributable to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar as of June 30,
2019 as compared to December 31, 2018.
Loss before tax. Loss before tax was U.S.$135 million during the first six months of 2019, compared to a
profit of U.S.$674 million for the same period in 2018, primarily attributable to lower sales and lower share of profit
of associates and joint ventures, partially offset by lower cost of sale and administrative costs and the foreign
exchange difference due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.
Income tax expense. During the first six months of 2019, CODELCO had a statutory tax rate of 65.0% in
accordance with applicable regulations, comprised of (i) a corporate income tax rate of 25.0% (a 17% historic
corporate tax rate applied to income earned in and prior to 2011 but changed by means of the 2014 tax reform) and
(ii) a 40% tax on net earnings applicable to state-owned enterprises as specified by Decree Law 2,398, Art. 2.
During 2018, CODELCO was subject to the same statutory tax rate of 65%. CODELCO is also subject to an
additional mining tax that is based on its operating income, and, effective for its 2012 fiscal year, is imposed at
progressive rates of between 5% and 14%. CODELCO’s effective rate of the mining tax for 2018 and 2017 was
5%. CODELCOS*s taxes on income amounted to a benefit of U.S.$34 million during the first six months of 2019 and
an expense of U.S.$430 million during the same period of 2018. The decrease in expense from taxes on income was
primarily due to the losses before tax generated in during the first six months of 2019.
Loss for the period. As a result of the factors described above, CODELCOS”s loss after tax was U.S.$100
million during the first six months of 2019, compared to a profit of U.S.$244 million for the same period of 2018.

Revenue decreased in 2018 by 2.3% to U.S.$14.3 billion, compared to U.S.$14.6 billion in 2017, mainly
due to a 3.5% decrease in CODELCO””s copper price to 276 cents per pound in 2018 from 286 cents per pound in
2017. CODELCO*”s own copper sales decreased 3.6% to U.S.$11.2 billion in 2018, compared to U.S.$11.6 billion in
2017, primarily attributable to the 3.4% decrease in CODELCO*s copper price and a 0.4% reduction in the tonnage
volume sold. Revenue increased in 2017 by 26.9% to U.S.$14.6 billion, compared to U.S.$11.5 billion in 2016,
mainly due to CODELCO”s average copper price growth from an average of 214 cents per pound in 2016 to 286
cents per pound in 2017. CODELCO*s own copper sales increased 32.5% to U.S.$11.6 billion in 2017, compared to
U.S.$8.8 billion in 2016, primarily attributable to the 33.6% increase in CODELCO”s copper price, partially offset
by a 0.8% reduction in the tonnage volume sold.
Third-party copper sales totaled U.S.$1.9 billion in 2018, compared to U.S.$2.0 billion in 2017 and
U.S.$1.8 billion in 2016. The decrease in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to a 3.4% decrease
in CODELCO”s copper price and a 2.6% decrease in tonnage sold. The increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 was
primarily attributable to a 33.6% increase in CODELCO*s copper price, partially offset by a 24.4% reduction in the
tonnage volume sold. In general, changes in the volume of third-party copper sold are dependent upon CODELCO”s
need to meet requirements under sales contracts and, to a lesser extent, to purchase copper under spot market terms
if CODELCO”s own production is insufficient to cover the quantities that it has agreed to supply its customers.
Sales of byproducts and other totaled U.S.$1,189 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$1,001 million in 2017
and U.S.$1,004 million in 2016. The increase of 18.8% in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to a
47.7% increase in CODELCO”s average molybdenum price, partially offset by a 12.2% decrease in molybdenum
44
tonnage sold. The decrease of 0.3% in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to lower anodic slimes
coming from Chuquicamata because of scheduled refinery maintenance.
Cost of sales. The following table sets forth CODELCO’s total cost of sales for the years ended
December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018:

CODELCOSs total cost of sales in 2018 increased 7.8% to U.S.$11.2 billion (78.2% of sales) compared to
U.S.$10.4 billion (70.9% of sales) in 2017, mainly due to higher operational costs arising from the appreciation of
the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar. In 2017, CODELCOS’s total cost of sales increased 9.8% to U.S.$10.4
billion (70.9% of sales), compared to U.S.$9.5 billion (81.9% of sales) in 2016, mainly due to higher operational
costs arising from the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.
CODELCOSs cost of sales of its own copper increased by 10.9% to U.S.$8.6 billion in 2018 compared to
U.S.$7.8 billion in 2017 and increased 9.1% to U.S.$7.8 billion in 2017 compared to U.S.$7.1 billion in 2016. The
increases in 2018 and 2017 compared to 2017 and 2016, respectively, were primarily attributable to the higher
production cost due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar and higher fuel and energy costs.
In 2018, the cost of copper purchased from third parties decreased by 6.0% to U.S.$1.9 billion compared to
U.S.$2.0 billion in 2017 primarily attributable to lower volumes of copper purchased and lower average copper
price. In 2017, the cost of copper purchased from third parties increased 13.2% to U.S.$2 billion from U.S.$1.8
billion in 2016 primarily attributable to higher copper prices, partially offset by 24.4% lower volume of third-party
copper sold.
The cost of byproducts and other increased by 13.4% to U.S.$667 million in 2018 compared to U.S.$588
million in 2017 and increased by 8.3% to U.S.$588 million in 2017 compared to U.S.$543 million in 2016. The
increases in 2018 and 2017 compared to 2017 and 2016, respectively, were principally attributable to higher
operational costs arising from the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar and higher fuel and energy
costs.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 3.8% to U.S.$2.2 billion in 2018 compared to
U.S.$2.1 billion in 2017 and increased by 8.5% to U.S.$2.1 billion in 2017 compared to U.S.$1.9 billion in 2016.
The increases in 2018 and 2017 compared to 2017 and 2016, respectively, are mainly due to the higher capital
expenditure.
Gross profit. Gross profit amounted to U.S.$3.1 billion in 2018, compared to U.S.$4.3 billion in 2017 and
U.S.$2.1 billion in 2016. The decrease in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to the higher
operational costs, a 3.4% decrease in CODELCO”s copper price and a 0.8% decrease in copper tonnage sold,
partially offset by an increase in 18.8% of by-products revenues mainly due an increase in the average price of
CODELCOS*s product mix. The increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to copper price
growth.
Other income. Other income decreased by 19.1% to U.S.$125 million in 2018 compared to U.S.$154
million in 2017 and increased by 11.5% to U.S.$154 million in 2017 compared to U.S.$138 million in 2016. The
decrease in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to the absence of insurance indemnity in 2018 as
well as a decrease in in miscellaneous sales, partially offset by the profit on the sale of CODELCO”s 40% stake in
Deutsche Giessdraht GmbH to Aurubis. The increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to the
increase in miscellaneous sales in 2017, partially offset by the absence in 2017 of the realized gain from the El Abra
45
deposit recorded in 2016. See note 24a to the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements and note 23a to the
2016-2017 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Administrative expenses. Administrative expenses increased to U.S.$465 million (3.3% of total revenues)
in 2018 compared U.S.$428 million (2.9% of total revenues) in 2017 and U.S.$415 million (3.6% of revenues) in
2016. The increases in 2018 compared to 2017 and the one in 2017 compared to 2016 are mainly due to the
appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.
Other expenses. Other expenses amounted to U.S.$2.1 billion (14.8% of revenues) in 2018, compared to
U.S.$1.6 billion (10.6% of revenues) in 2017 and U.S.$1.3 billion (11.5% of revenues) in 2016. The increase in
2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to a non-cash charge related to a write-off of an underground
mining innovation project amounting to U.S.$138.1 million, an impairment recognition in the Ventanas Division
amounting to U.S.$199 million and the increase in collective bargaining bonuses. The increase in 2017 as compared
to 2016 was primarily attributable to the increase in export tax payments because of the increase in the spot market
price of copper.
The following table sets forth the principal components of CODELCO”s other expenses for the periods
indicated:

Total… $ (1324 — $ (55) $ (15)
CODELCO recorded other expenses of U.S.$1.1 billion, U.S.$1.1 billion and U.S.$866 million in 2018,
2017 and 2016, respectively, pursuant to the Copper Reserve Law, which levies a 10% tax on receivables of the
sales proceeds that CODELCO receives and transfers to Chile from the export of copper and related byproducts
produced by CODELCO. The export tax remained stable in 2018 due to there not being any significant changes in
the export sales of CODELCO”s own copper. On the other hand, the export tax increased in 2017 as compared to
2016 mainly attributable to the increase in the spot market price of copper.
In 2018, CODELCO recorded a U.S.$199 million impairment loss of certain items of property, plant and
equipment related to the Ventanas Division due a decline in, and deterioration in the outlook for, treatment and
refining charges.
In 2018, CODELCO has impaired certain investment and research projects and recorded a loss to adjust
inventories to net realizable value due to decreased copper prices.
Finance costs. Finance costs in 2018 amounted to U.S.$463 million, compared to U.S.$645 million in
2017 and U.S.$547 million in 2016. The decrease in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to a
higher capitalization of interest related to certain investment projects and a decrease in financial expenses that had
previously increased due to costs incurred in connection with the consummation of the tender offer in August 2017.
On the other hand, the increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to costs incurred in
connection with the consummation of the tender offer in August 2017 as well as the change in the interest rate of
such debt. CODELCO’s debt level was U.S.$15.3 billion as of December 31, 2018, U.S.$14.7 billion as of
December 31, 2017, and U.S.$14.9 billion as of December 31, 2016. CODELCO*s average interest rate was 4.34%
as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, 88% of CODELCO*s debt had a fixed rate and 12% had a
floating rate. See “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” for information regarding debt during the years ended
December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. CODELCO”s
net equity participation in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method was a profit of
U.S.$119 million in 2018, compared to a profit of U.S.$185 million in 2017 and a loss of U.S.$177 million in 2016.
The decrease in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily attributable to lower income from CODELCO*s stake in
Anglo American Sur. The increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to an increase in copper
prices and the reversal of the impairment related to the El Abra deposit and the Anglo American Sur assets for
U.S.$67 million. See note 9 to the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
Profit (loss) before tax. Profit before tax was U.S.$547 million in 2018, compared to a profit of U.S.$1.8
billion in 2017 and a loss of U.S.$431 million in 2016. The decrease in 2018 as compared to 2017 was primarily
attributable to slightly lower sales combined with higher selling and administrative expenses, a non-cash charge
related to a write-off of an underground mining innovation project in 2018, an impairment recognition in the
Ventanas Division and the impact of end of bargaining bonuses. The increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 was
mainly due to an increase of the average copper price.
Income tax expense. In 2018, CODELCO had a statutory income tax rate of 65% in accordance with
applicable regulations, comprised of a corporate income tax of 25% (a 17% historic corporate tax rate applied to
income earned in and prior to 2011) and a 40% tax on net earnings applicable to state-owned enterprises as specified
in Decree Law 2,398, Art. 2. CODELCO is also subject to an additional mining tax based on its operating income,
and, effective as of fiscal year 2012, is imposed at progressive rates between 5% and 14%. CODELCOSs statutory
rate of the mining tax for 2018, 2017 and 2016 was 5%. In 2018, CODELCO”s taxes on income amounted to an
expense of U.S.$357 million, compared to an expense of U.S.$1.2 billion in 2017 and a benefit of U.S.$97 million in
2016, primarily as a result of a decrease in CODELCO”s pre-tax profit in 2018 as compared to 2017 and
CODELCO’s
pre-tax profit in 2017 as compared to pre-tax loss in 2016. As of December 31, 2018, CODELCO”s tax expense
amounted to U.S.$357 million, primarily attributable to the deferred tax adjustments recorded in relation to Chile”s
recent tax reform. As of December 31, 2017, CODELCO”s tax expense amounted to U.S.$1,193 million. For more
information regarding this payment, see note 5 to the Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and “Risk
Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO””s Relationship with the Government of Chile—CODELCO is subject to
special taxes.”
Profit for the period. As a result of the factors described above, CODELCO recorded a profit after tax of
U.S.$190 million in 2018 compared to U.S.$624 million in 2017 and a loss of U.S.$334 million in 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
CODELCO”s primary sources of liquidity are funds from (i) operations, (ii) domestic and international
borrowings from banks and (iii) debt offerings in the domestic and international capital markets. CODELCO is
generally required to transfer its profit to the Chilean Treasury. The calculation of profit and other comprehensive
income includes certain non-cash generating charges or benefits. Significant non-cash generating charges or
benefits are deferred tax expense/benefit recorded against other comprehensive income and profit and loss,
amortization or depreciation. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, non-cash charges were U.S.$425
million in amortization and U.S.$581 million in depreciation. Non-cash deferred tax benefits of U.S.$40.2 million
were recorded for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Specifically with respect to deferred taxes, non-cash
charges or benefits are generated by recording the fluctuation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, which may be
recorded against other comprehensive income in equity or through profit and loss. Amortization and depreciation
are recorded directly in profit and loss.
In June 2014, the Ministries of Finance and Mining approved the capitalization of U.S.$200 million
through a retention of CODELCOSs profits from 2013. In October 2014, the multi-year capitalization law approved
by the Chilean Congress was promulgated and became effective following its publication in the Official Gazette.
This law allocates a maximum of U.S.$3 billion to CODELCO in the form of a capital injection by the Chilean
Treasury over the period from 2014 to 2018. Pursuant to this law, CODELCO must present a yearly progress report
on the BDP for the 2014-2018 period to the Ministries of Finance and Mining and to the Finance Committee of both
the Upper House and the Lower House of Congress by March 30 of each year. The BDP report details the progress
of CODELCO”s investments, including information about their financing and execution, covering each of the
47
structural projects and their corresponding investments. The BDP report also discusses CODELCO*s progress with
respect to production, costs and results. On the same date that the multi-year capitalization law was promulgated, the
President of Chile announced a commitment to authorize the retention by CODELCO of up to an additional U.S.$1
billion of profit (which includes the U.S.$200 million that had been authorized in June 2014) over the 2014-2018
period.
In accordance with this commitment, in June 2015, the Ministries of Finance and Mining approved the
capitalization of U.S.$225 million of 2014 profit, but charged to 2015 profits. However, due to CODELCO”s
operating losses in 2015, this capitalization has not been implemented. Nonetheless, pursuant to the multi-year
capitalization law, the Government of Chile authorized a capital injection of U.S.$600 million (out of the maximum
U.S.$3 billion for the 2014-2018 period), which was received in U.S. dollars in December 2015. In December 2016,
the Ministries of Finance authorized the capitalization of U.S.$975 million, U.S.$500 million of which related to a
capital injection to finance CODELCO’”s investment plan and was received in December 2016. The remaining
U.S.$475 million was authorized pursuant to a new law (Law 20,989), effective as of January 2017, which provided
for additional capitalization of a maximum of U.S.$950 million for both 2016 and 2017 (up to U.S.$475 million for
each year) in the event CODELCO does not have the required pre-tax profits to cover the 10% special export tax
under the Copper Reserve Law. In April 2017, CODELCO received the U.S.$475 million capital injection in U.S.
dollars for 2016. Law 20,989 also extended the U.S.$3 billion capitalization commitment for the 2014-2018 period
to 2019. While CODELCO did not expect additional capital injections in connection with Law 20,989 during 2017,
in November 2017, the Government of Chile authorized a capital injection of U.S.$520 million (out of the maximum
U.S.$3 billion for the newly extended 2014-2019 period), which was received in U.S. dollars in December 2017. In
June 2018, the Government of Chile announced a final capital injection of U.S.$1 billion to complete the multi-year
capitalization law approved in October 2014. Moreover, in October 2018, the Government of Chile authorized the
disbursement of such amount in two installments completed on December 31, 2018 for U.S.$600 million and on
February 28, 2019 for the remaining U.S.$400 million.
Since 2014, the Government of Chile has authorized the capitalization by capital injection and retention of
profit within CODELCO in an aggregate amount of U.S.$3.5 billion, U.S.$225 million of which could not be
implemented. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Relationship with the Government of Chile—
CODELCOS*s funding through retention of profits is restricted and is subject to the approval of the Ministries of
Finance and Mining.”
Cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net cash flows from operating activities decreased to
U.S.$3.9 billion, compared to U.S.$4.7 billion in 2017 and U.S.$1.9 billion in 2016. The decrease in net cash flows
from operating activities during 2018 was primarily attributable to an increase in payments to suppliers and
employees, partially offset by higher cash received from sales of goods. The increase in net cash flows from
operating activities during 2017 was primarily attributable to more cash received from the sale of goods and services
as the result of higher average copper and molybdenum prices. During the first six months of 2019, net cash flows
from operating activities decreased by 37.7% to U.S.$1.8 billion from U.S.$2.9 billion for the same period in 2018.
This decrease in net cash flows from operating activities resulted primarily due to the decrease in cash received from
the sales of goods because of a deterioration in CODELCO*s average product portfolio prices and volumes sold and
lower payments to suppliers and employees. See note 28 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements and note 28 to the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Bank debt. CODELCO’s total financial debt (defined as loans from financial institutions plus bonds
issued) as a percentage of its total capitalization was 60.1% at December 31, 2016, 57.4% at December 31, 2017,
57.4% at December 31, 2018, and 56.7% at June 30, 2019. CODELCO’s total outstanding financial debt at
December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was U.S.$14.9 billion, U.S.$14.7 billion and U.S.$15.3 billion, respectively, and
U.S.$15.1 billion as of June 30, 2019. As adjusted to give effect to the U.S.$300 million bilateral credit facility with
Export Development Canada and to the offering of AUD 70 million notes due in 2039, U.S.$130 million notes due
in 2029, U.S.$1,100 million notes due in 2029, U.S.$900 million note due in 2050 and U.S.$147.4 million notes
purchased CODELCO*Ss total financial debt as a percentage of its total capital would have been 60.1% and its total
outstanding financial debt would have been U.S.$17.5 billion as of June 30, 2019.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes. See “Use of
Proceeds.”

primarily to secure the payment of (i) deferred customs duties and (ii) staff severance indemnities payable upon the
retirement of individual employees, amounting to U.S.$22 million and U.S.$830 million, respectively, as of
December 31, 2018 and to U.S.$24 million and U.S.$838 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2019. See notes 18
and 19 to the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements and to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, CODELCO believes that their net deferred taxes will reverse as
follows: deferred tax benefit in the amount of U.S.$65 million in 2019 and deferred tax expense in the amount of
U.S.$(129) million in 2020, U.S.$429 million in 2021, U.S.$361 million in 2022 and U.S.$3,745 million after 2023.
CODELCO currently has no hedges related to its production of copper through 2018. See “Business and
Properties—Marketing—Pricing and Hedging” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations—
CODELCO engages in hedging activity from time to time, particularly with respect to its copper production, which
may not be successful and may result in losses to CODELCO.”
CODELCO entered into an agreement with Mitsui on October 12, 2011, pursuant to which Mitsui made
available to Inversiones Mineras Acrux SpA (“Acrux”) a short-term bridge financing facility of up to
U.S.$6.75 billion, guaranteed by CODELCO and subsidiaries of Acrux, as a possible means to fund the exercise of
the Sur Option (as defined in “Business and Properties—Copper Production—Associations, Joint Ventures and
Partnerships”). CODELCO also entered into a separate agreement with Mitsui that provided CODELCO with the
option to repay a portion of the bridge loan from Mitsui through a put option for an indirect 50% stake in the Anglo
American Sur interest acquired, assuming a pre-determined value of U.S.$9.76 billion for the 49% interest in Anglo
American Sur. The balance of the bridge loan would convert into a non-recourse five-year term loan between Acrux
and Mitsui, which would not be guaranteed by CODELCO, and would be repayable only from cash distributions on
the Anglo American Sur shares held by Acrux. In addition, CODELCO and Mitsui entered into a 10-year sale and
purchase agreement for the equivalent of 30,000 tons of fine copper per year subject to market-based pricing terms.
On August 23, 2012, the parties amended and restated the loan agreement described above (the “A8R
Mitsui Bridge Loan Facility”) pursuant to which an affiliate of Mitsui agreed to make available to a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CODELCO a bridge loan denominated in U.S. dollars. On August 24, 2012, the subsidiary of
CODELCO drew down an amount equal to U.S.$1,867 million to finance the acquisition by Inversiones Mineras
Becrux SpA (“Becrux”) of equity interests of Anglo American Sur as described below under “Business and
Properties— Copper Production—Associations, Joint Ventures and Partnerships —Anglo American Sur” and to pay
certain taxes, costs and expenses relating to the financing. On October 31, 2012, CODELCO and Mitsui entered
into an agreement to refinance the U.S.$1,867 million bridge loan with a U.S.$875 million non-recourse term loan
with a 3.25% fixed interest rate and a 20-year amortization (the “Mitsui Term Loan”) that is secured by a pledge of
the equity interests in Acrux held by such subsidiary of CODELCO. As part of this refinancing, CODELCO sold to
Mitsui the equivalent of a 4.5% stake of Anglo American Sur for U.S.$998 million and used the proceeds of this sale
to prepay a portion of the bridge loan. On November 26, 2016, CODELCO signed a credit agreement with Mitsui
renegotiating the payment of principal at the end of the contract. The terms established an annual interest rate of
Libor +2.5% with a five-year maturity to be payable in one installment at maturity with semi-annual interest
payments. On May 26, 2017, CODELCO signed a new credit agreement with Mitsui renegotiating the following
semi-annual payment, which was on the same terms as the first renegotiation done in November 2016. As of June
30, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance of the credit agreements is U.S.$612 million.
Capital Expenditure Program. We seek to maintain and improve our competitive position in the industry
through our three-year capital expenditure program. Following the completion of a number of significant projects in
recent years, such as the development of CODELCO”s new Mina Ministro Hales, the development of sulfide ores at
52
the Radomiro Tomic mine, the expansion at the Andina mine and the development of the Pilar Norte area at the El
Teniente mine, CODELCO intends to continue its development program. Accordingly, the Company expects to
make capital expenditures of approximately U.S.$13.4 billion between 2019 and 2021 on major projects,
transforming its main mining operations with a view towards the long-term development of its resources. We expect
these expenditures to be funded with a combination of internal and external resources. For a complete list of
planned capital expenditures, see “Business and Properties—Copper Production—Operations.” CODELCO””s
expansion and development of major projects between 2019 and 2021 are expected to include:
e The gradual transformation of the Chuquicamata mine from an open pit mine to an underground
operation, which we expect will enable Chuquicamata to maintain its annual copper production at its
current level starting in 2019 (an approximate investment of U.S.$2.0 billion between 2019 and 2021).
Environmental approvals were obtained in September 2010, and the project is approximately 90%
complete as of June 30, 2019.
e The reallocation of the Andina plant, which involves maintaining the treatment capacity of the
concentrator plant in the long-term (an approximate investment of U.S.$371 million between 2019 and
2021). Operations are expected to begin in 2021, and the project is approximately 77% complete as of
June 30, 2019.
+ The development of a new production level in the existing El Teniente underground mine (an
approximate investment of U.S.$1.6 billion between 2019 and 2021) to maintain El Teniente”s annual
copper production at its current level. Environmental approvals were obtained in March 2011. However,
based on geomechanical challenges that need to be addressed, an alternative development plan was
approved in January 2018 that will still permit us to maintain our original production goal and the new
mining level is now expected to be completed in 2023. As of June 30, 2019, the project is approximately
52% complete.
+ The upgrade of CODELCO”s smelters to new emission standards was required to maintain our operating
licenses in Chuquicamata, El Teniente, Salvador and Ventanas, and such upgrade required an investment
of U.S.$1.1 billion in Chuquicamata, U.S.$703 million in El Teniente, U.S.$441 million in Salvador and
U.S.$113 million in Ventanas for a total approximate investment of U.S.$2.3 billion. As of the date of
this prospectus, 100%, 97%, 95% and 96% of the upgrades at the Ventanas, Salvador, El Teniente and
Chuquicamata smelters, respectively, have been completed, and all four smelters are operating.
+ The development of the Inca Pit project is designed to extend the life of the current underground mine
operation in the Salvador Division and enable it to maintain its annual production at its current level
starting in 2021 and the analysis for a future expansion, which requires an approximate investment of
U.S.$900 million between 2019 and 2021. As of June 30, 2019, the feasibility study has been completed,
and the initial work relating to the project has commenced.
+ The expansion of the existing Andina open pit is an initiative that is expected to expand the treatment
capacity of the concentrator plant up to 150 thousand tons per day (an approximate investment
of U.S.$95 million between 2019 and 2021) starting in 2027. As of June 30, 2019, the feasibility study
has been authorized and is approximately 31% complete.
CODELCO has already begun investing in the aforementioned projects. In 2018, CODELCO invested
U.S.$3.6 million principally in expansion and development projects, including the new El Teniente mine level, the
Chuquicamata underground mine expansion and, the reallocation of the Andina mine-plant pursuant to the Andina
expansion project, as well as in the upgrade of CODELCO”s smelters to comply with the new emission standards.
CODELCO invested U.S.$3.5 million in 2017 and U.S.$2.7 million in 2016. For an additional description of
CODELCO’s principal planned capital expenditures, see “Business and Properties—Copper Production—
Operations.”
53
CODELCO expects that it will have sufficient resources from operations, including cash flows,
capitalization and retention of profits, in addition to new borrowings from banks and the capital markets to fund its
anticipated capital expenditures and investments.
As described under “Regulatory Framework—Overview of the Regulatory Regime” below, the Ministries
of Finance and Mining are required to determine, by means of a joint decree, the amount, if any, that the Company
shall allocate to the creation of capitalization and reserve funds. In June 2014, the Ministries of Finance and Mining
approved the capitalization of U.S.$200 million through a retention of profits from 2013 profits. In October 2014,
the multi-year capitalization law approved by the Chilean Congress was promulgated and became effective
following its publication in the Official Gazette on October 30, 2014. This law allocates a maximum of U.S.$3
billion to CODELCO in the form of a capital injection by the Chilean Treasury over the period from 2014 to 2018.
Pursuant to this law, CODELCO must present a yearly progress report on the BDP for the 2014-2018 period to the
Ministries of Finance and Mining and to the Finance Committee of both the Upper House and the Lower House of
Congress by March 30 of each year. The BDP report details the progress of CODELCO”s investments, including
information regarding their financing and execution, covering each of the structural projects and their corresponding
investments. The BDP report also discusses CODELCO*s progress with respect to production, costs and results. On
the same date that the multi-year capitalization law was promulgated, the President of Chile announced a
commitment to authorize the retention by CODELCO of up to an additional U.S.$1 billion of profit (which includes
the U.S.$200 million that had been authorized in June 2014) over the 2014-2018 period.
In accordance with this commitment, in June 2015, the Ministries of Finance and Mining approved the
capitalization of U.S.$225 million of 2014 profit, but charged to 2015 profits. However, due to CODELCO’s
operating losses in 2015, this capitalization has not been implemented. Nonetheless, pursuant to the multi-year
capitalization law, the Government of Chile authorized a capital injection of U.S.$600 million (out of the maximum
U.S.$3 billion for the 2014-2018 period), which was received in U.S. dollars in December 2015. In December 2016,
the Ministries of Finance authorized the capitalization of U.S.$975 million, U.S.$500 million of which related to a
capital injection to finance CODELCO””s investment plan and was received in December 2016. The remaining
U.S.$475 million was authorized pursuant to a new law (Law 20.989), effective as of January 2017, which provided
for additional capitalization of a maximum of U.S.$950 million for both 2016 and 2017 (up to U.S.$475 million for
each year) in the event CODELCO does not have the required pre-tax profits to cover the 10% special export tax
under the Copper Reserve Law. In April 2017, CODELCO received the U.S.$475 million capital injection in U.S.
dollars for 2016. Law 20.989 also extended the U.S.$3 billion capitalization commitment for the 2014-2018 period
to 2019. While CODELCO did not expect additional capital injections in connection with Law 20.989 during 2017,
in November 2017, the Government of Chile authorized a capital injection of U.S.$520 million (out of the maximum
U.S.$3 billion for the newly extended 2014-2019 period), which was received in U.S. dollars in December 2017. In
June 2018, the Government of Chile announced a final capital injection of U.S.$1 billion to complete the multi-year
capitalization law approved in October 2014. Moreover, in October 2018, the Government of Chile authorized the
disbursement of such amount in two installments completed on December 31, 2018 for U.S.$600 million and on
February 28, 2019 for the remaining U.S.$400 million.
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations—Liquidity
and Capital Resources” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Relationship with the Government of
Chile—CODELCOS”s funding through retention of profits is restricted and is subject to the approval of the Ministries
of Finance and Mining.”
Since 2014, the Government of Chile has authorized the capitalization and retention of U.S.$2.5 billion
within CODELCO, U.S.$225 million of which has not been implemented.
Cash flows from operating activities may be affected by a variety of factors, including copper price levels.
In the event that CODELCO is unable to sell assets or obtain external financing with respect to such capital
investments, it may be required to further curtail such expenditures.
Environmental. An important part of CODELCO*s investment policy is its pollution abatement plan, which
includes several environmental projects undertaken to comply with Chilean law and to achieve its own
environmental performance goals. See “Regulatory Framework—Environmental Regulations.”
54
CODELCO invested U.S.$ 2.8 billion in these projects from 2012 to 2018 and plans to continue
implementing its pollution abatement plan through additional capital investments of approximately U.S.$1 billion
from 2019 through 2020. In 2018, CODELCO invested U.S.$861 million in environmental projects, including new
phases of the planned enlargements of the Talabre, Ovejería and Carén tailings dams in the Chuquicamata, Andina
and El Teniente Divisions and various projects in the Chuquicamata, Ventanas, Salvador and El Teniente Divisions
in order to comply with the new regulation on atmospheric emissions from the smelters. This figure includes the
investment made in the Gabriela Mistral Division. CODELCO’”s planned investment of approximately U.S.$750
million in 2019 includes the continuation of the enlargement of the Carén, Ovejería and Talabre tailings dams in the
El Teniente, Andina and Chuquicamata Divisions and various projects in the Chuquicamata, Salvador and El
Teniente smelters for the abatement of atmospheric emissions, among others. In 2020, planned investments include
the continuation of the projects for the abatement of atmospheric emissions in the Chuquicamata smelter and the
continued enlargement of the tailing dams, among others. Further, a new air emission standard for smelters was
enacted by the Ministry of the Environment in December 2013. CODELCO*”s cost of complying with this standard
was U.S.$2.3 billion, which was incurred over a period of approximately five years and which started in 2013, but
the full cost will be determined when all the necessary engineering projects are finished and implemented in order to
ensure compliance.
The following table sets forth CODELCO”s principal environmental investments in the years 2016-2018:

Distributions to the Chilean Treasury. As a state-owned enterprise and according to its governing law,
CODELCOSs profit is due to be transferred to the Chilean Treasury. Before June 30 of each year, the Ministries of
Finance and Mining determine, by means of a joint decree, the amount, if any, that the Company must allocate to the
creation of capitalization and reserve funds. Amounts not allocated to the creation of capitalization and reserve
funds are distributed to the Chilean Treasury.
In 2018 and 2017, CODELCO distributed U.S.$602 million and U.S.$273 million, respectively, to the
Chilean Treasury, while in 2016 CODELCO did not distribute dividends due to the absence of profits that year.
While CODELCO makes advance payments to the Chilean Treasury throughout the year, funded by cash flows from
operating activities, it generally has distributions payable to the Chilean Treasury at the end of each year. These
distributions are paid in the first six-month period of the following year but are reflected in the prior year”s financial
statements.
The following table sets forth amounts paid in taxes (which due to the timing of payments may be different
from tax amounts accrued) and payments and profit distributions made by CODELCO to the Chilean Treasury for
each of the three years ended December 31, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Production Hedging. CODELCO has hedged certain future copper delivery commitments and production
in order to manage the risks associated with copper price volatility in the past. CODELCO currently does not have
any hedged production commitments and therefore there is no relevant impact from hedging. See notes 29 and 30 to
the 2017-2018 Year end Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 29 and 30 to the Unaudited Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2017, CODELCO*s production hedging activities had no negative impact on
pre-tax income.
CODELCOSs future production hedging activities could cause it to lose some of the benefit of an increase
in copper prices if copper prices increase over the level of CODELCO””s hedge position, as occurred in 2012. The
cash flows from the mark-to-market values of CODELCO*s production hedges can be affected by factors such as the
market price of copper, copper price volatility and interest rates, which are not under CODELCOSs control.
CODELCOSs production hedging agreements contain events of default and termination events that could
lead to early close-outs of CODELCO”s hedges. These include failure to pay, breach of the agreement,
misrepresentation, default under CODELCO”s loans or other hedging agreements and bankruptcy. In the event of
an early termination of CODELCO”s hedging agreements, the cash flows from the affected hedge instruments would
cease and CODELCO and the relevant hedge counterparty would settle all of CODELCO”s obligations at that time.
In that event, there could be a lump sum payment to be made either to or by CODELCO. The magnitude and
direction of such a payment would depend upon, among other things, the characteristics of the particular hedge
instruments that were terminated and the market price of copper and copper price volatility and interest rates at the
time of termination.
See “Business and Properties—Marketing—Pricing and Hedging,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to
CODELCOS*s Operations—CODELCO engages in hedging activity from time to time, particularly with respect to its
copper production, which may not be successful and may result in losses to CODELCO,” note 30 to the 2017-2018
Consolidated Financial Statements and note 30 the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on CODELCO*s hedging activity.
Exchange Rates and Interest Rates. CODELCO”s main currency exposure is between the Chilean peso and
the U.S. dollar due to the fact that a significant portion of CODELCOS*s operating costs are denominated in Chilean
pesos and paid pursuant to contracts providing for indexation to Chilean inflation, and approximately 100% of
revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. To minimize the risks associated with currency
exposures and fluctuations in interest rates, CODELCO enters into interest rate futures contracts and foreign
exchange forward contracts which reduce exposure to fluctuations in the Chilean peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate.
As of June 30, 2019, CODELCO had swap contracts in place to hedge the risk of future UF/U.S.$ and
Euro/U.S.$ exchange rate fluctuations with respect to a notional amount of U.S.$615 million and U.S.$819 million,
respectively, which were equivalent to, and sufficient to cover, 100% of CODELCO’s foreign
currency-denominated bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2019.
S6
As of June 30, 2019, 11% of CODELCO”s financial debt was at a variable interest rate and 89% had a
fixed rate.
Controls and Procedures
CODELCO”s management conducted an assessment utilizing The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
(COSO) criteria of the effectiveness of its internal controls as of the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on the
assessment performed, CODELCO”s management has not identified any material weakness in its control
environment.
New Accounting Standards
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are
consistent with those applied in the preparation of CODELCO”s annual consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019.
In the current period, CODELCO has applied IFRS 16 for the first time. CODELCO has applied IFRS 16
with the cumulative effect of the initial application of the standard, recognized as of January 1, 2019. Consequently,
it has not restated the comparative financial information.
IFRS 16 introduces new or modified requirements with respect to the accounting for leases. It introduces
significant changes to lease accounting for lessees by removing the distinction between operating and financial
leases; requires the recognition, at the outset, of an asset for right to use and a lease liability for all leases, except for
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. In contrast to the accounting for the lessee, the requirements for the
accounting of the lessor remain largely unchanged. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 in the consolidated
financial statements of CODELCO is described below.
The change in the definition of a lease is mainly related to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines
whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the client has the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.
IFRS 16 changes with respect to how CODELCO accounts for leases previously classified as operating
leases under IAS 17, which, with this change, are recognized in the assets and liabilities of the statement of financial
position. CODELCO has re-evaluated all of its contracts at the date of initial application. As a result of the
foregoing, leases have been re-assessed in accordance with the new requirements of IFRS 16.
As of January 1, 2019, CODELCO recognizes its leases with the accumulated effect on the date of initial
application, opting to recognize a right to use asset equal to the lease liability. Practical expedients applied in the
transition to operating leases: (a) single discount rate applied to a lease portfolio; (b) short-term lease exemption for
those contracts whose term ends within twelve months from January 1, 2019; (c) exclusion of initial direct costs on
the measurement of the right-of-use asset; and (d) review of contracts under the onerous contract provisions of IAS
37 as an alternative to impairment testing under IAS 36.
The following table sets the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on assets, liabilities and equity as of January
1,2019.

See Section Il, part 4 of the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding
new accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS requires the use of
certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized as of
the date of financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. It also
requires CODELCO”s management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying CODELCO”s accounting
principles. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are below. For a full description of CODELCO”s
accounting policies, see Section II to the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Section II to the
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Useful Economic Lives and Residual Values of Property, Plant and Equipment. The useful lives and
residual values of property, plant and equipment assets that are used for calculating depreciation are determined
based on technical studies prepared by specialists (internal or external). When there are indicators that could lead to
changes in the estimated useful lives of such assets, these changes are determined by using technical estimates
considering specific factors related to the use of the assets. The amounts recognized in property, plant and
equipment are depreciated, as a general rule, under a units-of-production method, allowing for the depreciation of an
asset when it can be clearly identified as being a part of a production process relating to copper extraction. For all
other assets, however, a straight-line depreciation method is still being used.
58
Depreciation Method. Estimated useful lives, residual values and our depreciation method are reviewed at
the end of each year, and we record the effect of any change in estimates prospectively.
Additionally, the depreciation method and the estimated useful lives of the various assets, especially plants,
facilities and infrastructure, are likely to be revised at the beginning of each year and pursuant to changes in the
structure of our reserves and productive long-term plans that are updated as of that date.
This review can happen at any time if the conditions of ore reserves change significantly as a result of new
information, confirmed and officially recognized by us.
Ore Reserves. The measurements of ore reserves are based on estimates of the ore resources that are
economically exploitable, and reflect the technical considerations of the Company regarding the amount of resources
that could be exploited and sold at prices exceeding the total cost associated with extraction and processing.
CODELCO applies its judgment in determining its ore reserves and, as such, possible changes in these
estimates could significantly impact the estimates of net revenues over time. For such reason, these changes would
lead to modifications in the usage estimates of certain assets and of the amount of certain decommissioning and
restoration costs.
CODELCO estimates its reserves and mineral resources based on the information prepared by the
Competent Persons of the Company, as defined and regulated by Chilean Law No. 20,235. The estimates are based
on the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) methodology, taking into consideration the historical information of
the cost of goods sold and copper prices in the international market.
CODELCO also periodically reviews such estimates supported by world-class external experts, who certify
the determined reserves.
Impairment of Assets. CODELCO reviews the carrying amount of its assets to determine whether there is
any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the assets is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss with regard to the carrying
amount. In the evaluation of impairment, the assets are grouped into cash generating units (“CGUs”) to which the
assets belong. The recoverable amount of these assets or CGUs is calculated as the present value of the cash flows
expected to be derived from such assets, considering a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of the assets is less than their
carrying amount, an impairment loss exists.
CODELCO defines the CGUs and also estimates the timing and cash flows that such CGUs should
generate. Subsequent changes in the grouping of the CGU, or changes in the assumptions supporting the estimates
of cash flows or the discount rate, could impact the carrying amounts of the corresponding assets.
Estimates of factors influencing the calculation of cash flows, such as the price of copper or treatment
charges and refining charges, among others, are determined based on studies conducted by the Company, which are
in turn supported by certain standards over time. Any changes to these criteria may impact the recoverable amount
of the assets on which is performing the impairment tests. CODELCO”s evaluations and definition of the CGUs are
made at the level of each of its current operating divisions.
CODELCO has assessed and defined the CGUs that are constituted at the level of each of its current
operating divisions.
The review for impairment includes its subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements.
Provisions for Decommissioning and Site Restoration Costs. [CODELCO is obligated to incur
decommissioning and site restoration costs when an environmental disturbance is caused by the development or
ongoing production of a mining property. Costs are estimated on the basis of a formal closure plan and are
reassessed annually or as of the date such obligations become known.

Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for decommissioning and site
restoration costs, as there are numerous factors that will affect the ultimate liability payable. In order to establish
such estimates, CODELCO: (i) creates a defined list of mine sites, installations and other equipment assigned to this
process, considered at the engineering level profile; (ii) evaluates the assets that will be subject to removal and
restoration, weighted by a structure of market prices of goods and services, and reflecting the best knowledge at the
time to carry out such activities; and (iii) examines the techniques and more efficient construction procedures to
date. In addition, CODELCO must make certain assumptions about the exchange rate for tradable goods and
services and the discount rate applied to update the relevant cash flows over time, which reflects the time value of
money and includes the risks associated with liabilities, which is based on the currency in which disbursements will
be made.
The provision as of a reporting date represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the
future decommissioning and site restoration costs required. Changes to estimated future costs are recognized in the
statement of financial position by adjusting the provision for decommissioning and site restoration costs as well as
the associated asset measured in accordance with IAS 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” Any reduction in the
decommissioning and site restoration liability, and therefore any deduction from the decommissioning and site
restoration asset, may not exceed the carrying amount of that asset. If it does, any excess over the carrying value is
immediately accounted for as profit or loss.
If the change in estimate results in an increase in the decommissioning and site restoration liability, and
therefore an addition to the carrying value of the asset, the entity is required to consider whether this is an indication
of impairment of the asset as a whole and test for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets.” If
the revised asset net of decommissioning and site restoration provisions exceeds the recoverable value, that portion
of the increase is charged directly to profit or loss statement. Any decommissioning and site restoration costs that
arose as a result of the production phase of a mine should be expensed as incurred.
The costs arising from the installation of a plant or other site preparation projects are discounted at net
present value, provided for and capitalized at the beginning of each project, as soon as the obligation to incur such
costs arises. These decommissioning costs are charged to profit over the life of the mine through depreciation of the
asset. The depreciation is included in operating costs, while the unwinding of the discount in the provision is
included in finance costs.
Accrual for Employee Benefits. Employee benefits costs for severance payments and health benefits for
services rendered by the employees are determined based on actuarial calculations using the projected credit unit
method and are charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis.
We use assumptions to determine the best estimate for these benefits. Such estimates, as well as
assumptions, are determined together with an external actuary. These assumptions include demographic
assumptions, mortality and morbidity, discount rate and expected salary increases and rotation levels, among other
factors. Although we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, a change in these assumptions could affect
profit.
Provisional Pricing Arrangements. The substantial majority of copper produced by CODELCO is sold
under annual contracts. Pricing on such contracts is based on prevailing monthly average prices quoted on the LME
for a quotation period, generally the month following the scheduled month of shipment. CODELCO uses
information on future copper prices, through which it recognizes adjustments to its revenues and trade receivables
due to its provisional invoicing. These adjustments are updated on a monthly basis. At the end of each month,
CODELCO estimates and accounts for any reduction in the provisional sales price using information available at the
time financial statements are generated. However, the amount estimated may differ from the amount received at
settlement. Revenue is recorded at the time control of the asset is transferred to the customer according to the
shipment or dispatch of the products, in conformity with the agreed-upon conditions and are subject to variations
related to the content and/or sales price at their liquidation date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are certain
contracts under which control of the product is transferred to the client based on receipt of the product at the buyer”s
destination point, and for these contracts revenue is recorded at the moment of such transfer.
60
Sales contracts include a provisional price at the shipment date, which final price is generally based on the
price recorded in the LME. In the majority of cases, the recognition of sales revenue for copper and other
commodities is based on the estimates of the future spread of metal price on the LME and/or the spot price at the
date of shipment, with a subsequent adjustment made upon final determination and presented as part of “Revenue.”
The terms of sales contracts with third parties contain provisional pricing arrangements whereby the selling price for
metal in concentrate is based on prevailing spot prices on a specified future date after shipment to the customer (the
“quotation period”). As such the final price will be fixed on the dates indicated in the contracts. Adjustments to the
sales price occurs based on movements in the LME up to the date of final settlement. The period between
provisional invoicing and final settlement can be between one and four months. Changes in fair value over the
quotation period and up until final settlement are estimated by reference to forward market prices for the applicable
metals.
Sales in the national market are recorded in conformity with the regulations that govern domestic sales as
indicated in Articles 7, 8 and 9 of Law No. 16,624, modified by Article 15 of Decree Law No. 1,349 of 1976, on the
determination of the sales price for the internal market.
Additionally, we recognize revenue for providing services, mainly related to the processing of minerals
bought from third parties. Revenue is recognized when the amounts can be measured reliably and when the services
have been provided.
See “Business and Properties—Marketing—Pricing and Hedging” for information regarding hedge
accounting.
Fair Value of Derivatives and Other Instruments. Management may use its judgment to choose an
adequate and proper valuation method for the instruments that are not quoted in an active market. In the case of
derivative financial instruments, assumptions are based on the observable market inputs, adjusted in conformity with
the specific features of the instruments.
Lawsuits and Contingencies. We assess the probability of lawsuits and contingency losses on an ongoing
basis according to estimates performed by our legal advisors. No provision is recognized for cases in which
management and our legal advisors believe that (1) a favorable outcome will be obtained, (1i) the probability of a loss
is remote or possible, but not probable, or, if probable, (iii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured
reliably.

BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
CODELCO is the world”s largest copper producer and one of the largest companies in Chile in terms of
revenues (U.S.$14.3 billion in 2018). As of December 31, 2018, CODELCOS*s total assets were U.S.$ 37.1 billion
and equity amounted to U.S.$11.3 billion. As of June 30, 2019, total assets were U.S.$37.9 billion and equity
amounted to U.S.$11.6 billion. CODELCO engages primarily in the exploration, development and extraction of
ores bearing copper and byproducts, the processing of ore into refined copper and the international sale of refined
copper and byproducts. CODELCO is 100% owned by the Government of Chile and controls approximately 6% of
the world”s proven and probable copper reserves, as such term is defined by the U.S. Geological Survey. In 2018,
CODELCO had an estimated 9% share of the total world copper production, with production amounting to
approximately 1.81 million metric tons (including CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit, which is mined by
Sociedad Contractual Minera El Abra, 49% of which is owned by CODELCO and 51% by Cyprus El Abra
Corporation (a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc.), as well as CODELCO’s indirect 20% share of Anglo
American Sur) and an estimated 9% share of the world”s molybdenum production with production amounting to
approximately 30,641 metric tons.
CODELCO*s main commercial product is Grade A cathode copper. In 2018, CODELCO derived 92% of
its total sales from copper and 8% of its total sales from byproducts of its copper production or, for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2019, 91% and 9%, respectively.
The following table sets forth certain production, cost and price information relating to CODELCO for the

CODELCO”s mission is to maximize the value of its mineral resources for the benefit of its shareholder,
the Chilean state, by fully developing its vast mining resources on a timely basis, leveraging the Company”s
experienced workforce, utilizing its advanced technological holds in key areas and by executing the following key
strategic initiatives:
Capital Expenditure Program. We seek to maintain and improve our competitive position in the industry
through our three-year capital expenditure program. Following the completion of a number of significant projects in
recent years, such as the development of CODELCO”s new Mina Ministro Hales, the development of sulfide ores at
the Radomiro Tomic mine, the expansion at the Andina mine and the development of the Pilar Norte area at the El
Teniente mine, CODELCO intends to continue its development program. Accordingly, the Company expects to
make capital expenditures of approximately U.S.$13.4 billion between 2019 and 2021 on major projects,
transforming its main mining operations with a view towards the long-term development of its resources. We expect
these expenditures to be funded with a combination of internal and external resources. For a complete list of
planned capital expenditures, see “Business and Properties—Copper Production—Operations.” CODELCO’”s
expansion and development of major projects between 2019 and 2021 are expected to include:
e The gradual transformation of the Chuquicamata mine from an open pit mine to an underground
operation, which we expect will enable Chuquicamata to maintain its annual copper production at its
current level starting in 2019 (an approximate investment of U.S.$2.0 billion between 2019 and 2021).
Environmental approvals were obtained in September 2010, and the project is approximately 90%
62
complete as of June 30, 2019.
e The reallocation of the Andina plant, which involves maintaining the treatment capacity of the
concentrator plant in the long-term (an approximate investment of U.S.$371 million between 2019 and
2021). Operations are expected to begin in 2021, and the project is approximately 77% complete as of
June 30, 2019.
+ The development of a new production level in the existing El Teniente underground mine (an
approximate investment of U.S.$1.6 billion between 2019 and 2021) to maintain El Teniente”s annual
copper production at its current level. Environmental approvals were obtained in March 2011. However,
based on geomechanical challenges that need to be addressed, an alternative development plan was
approved in January 2018 that will still permit us to maintain our original production goal and the new
mining level is now expected to be completed in 2023. As of June 30, 2019, the project is approximately
52% complete.
+ The upgrade of CODELCO”s smelters to new emission standards was required to maintain our operating
licenses in Chuquicamata, El Teniente, Salvador and Ventanas, and such upgrade required an investment
of U.S.$1.1 billion in Chuquicamata, U.S.$703 million in El Teniente, U.S.$441 million in Salvador and
U.S.$113 million in Ventanas for a total approximate investment of U.S.$2.3 billion. As of the date of
this prospectus, 100%, 97%, 95% and 96% of the upgrades at the Ventanas, Salvador, El Teniente and
Chuquicamata smelters, respectively, have been completed, and all four smelters are operating.
+ The development of the Inca Pit project is designed to extend the life of the current underground mine
operation in the Salvador Division and enable it to maintain its annual production at its current level
starting in 2021 and the analysis for a future expansion, which requires an approximate investment of
U.S.$900 million between 2019 and 2021. As of June 30, 2019, the feasibility study has been completed,
and the initial work relating to the project has commenced.
+ The expansion of the existing Andina open pit is an initiative that is expected to expand the treatment
capacity of the concentrator plant up to 150 thousand tons per day (an approximate investment
of U.S.$95 million between 2019 and 2021) starting in 2027. As of June 30, 2019, the feasibility study
has been authorized and is approximately 31% complete.
Improvement in operations. A number of improvement initiatives are underway to adopt best industry
practices, most notably in the areas of labor productivity, asset utilization rates and process efficiency. Together
with its capital expenditure investment program, CODELCO expects these initiatives to enhance its competitive
position. CODELCO operates in a cyclical business and its strategy is to ensure that it is able to take full advantage
of high copper prices. CODELCO is developing a number of plans to achieve production targets in the coming
years. These plans mainly focus on reducing the risk of disruptions to production and providing increased flexibility
to its operations.
Exploration Efforts. CODELCO controls the largest copper reserves worldwide, the Company”s single
most important long-term competitive advantage. The discovery of new mining resources and improving its ability
to locate existing ore bodies and prospects are critical to CODELCO maintaining its preeminent position in the
industry. Accordingly, the Company”s exploration program will continue to be a key part of its business strategy.
Investment in Human Capital. The successful execution of CODELCO’”s business strategy relies on
continuing to attract and retain a world-class management team and professionals of the highest caliber. The mining
industry faces increased competition for workforce talent. As a result, the Company intends to continue improving
career development opportunities for its staff and the overall attractiveness of CODELCO as a preferred employer.
Mining Association with Third Parties. CODELCO seeks to continue to develop and operate assets in
association with third parties where these associations will add value to CODELCO”s business. A few examples of
the Company”s willingness and ability to do so are (i) the association with Freeport-McMoRan Inc. in the El Abra
copper mine (CODELCO owns 49%) and (ii) the association with Anglo American, Mitsui and Mitsubishi
63
Corporation in Anglo American Sur (CODELCO owns an indirect 20% interest). CODELCO believes its large
mining reserve is a strong platform from which to establish such associations.
Copper Production
General
The copper deposits in CODELCO”s mines exist in two principal forms—sulfide ore and oxide ore. The
majority of CODELCO’”s mines, including Chuquicamata and El Teniente, yield primarily sulfide ore. The ore
extracted from the Radomiro Tomic deposit is copper oxide and sulfides. CODELCO produces refined copper from
oxide and sulfide ore using different processes. CODELCO believes that having these two different forms of copper
deposits gives it a high level of flexibility to respond to market changes by adjusting its production and utilizing the
refining processes described below.
Sulfide Ores. Sulfide ores are found in CODELCO”s open-pit and underground mines. In open-pit mines,
the process of producing copper from sulfide ores begins at the mine pit. Waste rock and ores containing copper are
first drilled and blasted and then loaded onto diesel-electric trucks by electric shovels. Waste is hauled to dump
areas. In underground mines, copper ore is deposited on rail cars and transported to a crushing circuit where
gyratory crushers break the ore into sizes no larger than three-fourths of an inch. In both types of mines, the ore is
then transported to rod and ball mills which grind it to the consistency of powder. In the conventional
concentrator/smelter/refinery process for sulfide ore, this finely ground ore is agitated in a water and chemical
solution and pumped as a watery mixture to the flotation separator. The solution is then aerated, producing a froth
which carries the copper minerals, but not the waste rock, to the surface. The froth is skimmed off and filtered to
produce copper concentrates. The waste rock, called tailings, is sent to a tailings storage facility. The copper
concentrates (which contain a copper grade of approximately 30%) are then sent to the smelter.
At the smelter, the concentrates are blended with fluxes and fed into reverberatory furnaces or a Teniente
converter (a technologically advanced type of converter designed by CODELCO) where they are melted, producing
“matte” and “slag.” Matte from reverberatory furnaces contains approximately 45% copper, and matte from a
Teniente converter contains approximately 75% copper. Slag is a residue of the smelting process containing iron
and other impurities, which the Company disposes of with its other industrial solid waste. The matte is transferred
by ladles to the converters and is oxidized in two steps. First, the iron sulfides in the matte are oxidized with silica,
producing slag that is returned to the reverberatory furnaces. Second, the impurities in the matte sulfide are oxidized
to produce blister copper. The blister copper contains approximately 98.5% copper. Some of the blister copper is
sold to customers. The remainder is transferred to the electrolytic refinery.
After additional treatment in the anode furnace, the copper is cast into anodes and then moved to the
refinery”s electrolytic tank house. This anode copper is approximately 99.0% copper. In the electrolytic tank house,
anodes are suspended in tanks containing an acid solution and copper sulfate. An electrical current is passed
through the anodes and chemical solution to deposit clean copper on pure copper plates. The resulting refined
copper cathodes are 99.99% copper. Silver and small amounts of other metals contained in the anodes settle on the
bottom of the tanks and are recovered in a separate process.
Oxide Ores. Oxide ore is scarcer than sulfide ore, and is typically found closer to the surface of the earth.
A different process (called the SX-EW process) is used to produce refined copper from oxide ores, which
CODELCO employs at its SX-EW facilities in Chuquicamata, El Teniente, Salvador, Gabriela Mistral and
Radomiro Tomic. In the first step of the SX-EW process, copper oxide ore is mined, crushed and deposited into
large piles. The piles are leached for a period of several days with a solution of sulfuric acid, resulting in the
effusion from the piles of a solution with a high-concentration of copper. The copper solution is collected into large
pools, from which copper is then recovered by solvent extraction, followed by a second recovery method called
electrowinning, to produce high-grade copper cathodes. The SX-EW process involves lower overall refining costs,
and can be used with a lower grade of ore, than the traditional concentrator/smelter/refinery process. The SX-EW
process also enables CODELCO to recover copper by re-leaching waste material left over from prior copper
extractions.

Operations
CODELCOSs copper operations are divided into the following eight divisions:
+ The El Teniente Division operates the El Teniente mine, which is the world”s largest underground copper mine
and has been in operation for more than 100 years. The El Teniente Division includes the Caletones smelter. In
2018, this division produced 465,040 metric tons of copper, or 25.7% of CODELCO’s total copper output
(including CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 106.5 cents
per pound, compared to 113.5 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$1.1 billion in 2018,
compared to U.S.$1.2 billion in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 202,936
metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 105.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$465 million.
e The Radomiro Tomic Division operates the Radomiro Tomic mine, which began its first full year of production
in 1998 and ranked among the world”s top three largest producers of copper using SX-EW technology in 2018.
In 2018, this division produced 332,667 metric tons of copper cathodes, or 18.4% of CODELCO*s total copper
output (including CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of
134.1 cents per pound, compared to 131.4 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$973 million in
2018 compared to U.S.$915 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced
127,422 metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 141.3 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$395
million.
e The Chuquicamata Division operates the Chuquicamata mine, one of the largest copper-producing mines in the
world, which began its operations in 1915 and currently includes smelting and refining capacities. In 2018, this
division produced 320,744 metric tons of copper cathodes, or 17.8% of CODELCO”s total copper output
(including CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 131.5 cents
per pound, compared to 130.9 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$908 million in 2018,
compared to U.S.$933 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 166,131
metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 125.6 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$447 million.
+ The Mina Ministro Hales Division was created in September 2010 for the operation of the Mina Ministro Hales
ore body, which first began producing copper at the end of 2013. In 2018, this division produced 195,485
metric tons of copper, or 10.8% of CODELCO”s total copper output (including CODELCO”s share of the El
Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 124.0 cents per pound, compared to 121.8 cents per
pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$517 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$560 million in 2017.
During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 72,252 metric tons of copper with a cash cost of
140.4 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$216 million.
e The Andina Division operates the Andina and Sur-Sur mines with production split among open-pit and
underground mines. It does not have independent smelting capacity. Andina has been in operation since 1970.
In 2018, this division produced 195,531 metric tons of copper, or 10.8% of CODELCO”s total copper output
(including CODELCOS*s share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 163.7 cents
per pound, compared to 139.6 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$682 million in 2018,
compared to U.S.$654 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 83,793
metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 183.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$328 million.
e The Gabriela Mistral Division was created in January 2013 and operates the Gabriela Mistral mine, which uses
SX-EW technology. The Gabriela Mistral mine produced its first copper cathodes in May 2008 after a
26-month construction period. In 2018, this division produced 107,247 metric tons of copper, or 5.9% of
CODELCOSs total copper output (including CODELCO”s share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American
Sur), with a cash cost of 191.9 cents per pound, compared to 151.9 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash
cost of U.S.$454 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$411 million in 2017. During the first six months of 2019,
this division produced 42,284 metric tons of copper with a cash cost of 265.4 cents per pound and a total cash
cost of U.S.$247 million.
e The Salvador Division operates the Salvador mine and concentrator and the smelter/refinery complex at
65
Potrerillos, which has the capacity to treat 671,000 metric tons of concentrate. In 2018, this division produced
60,840 metric tons of copper cathodes, or 3.4% of CODELCO”s total copper output (including CODELCO”s
share of the El Abra deposit and Anglo American Sur), with a cash cost of 223.5 cents per pound, compared to
198.7 cents per pound in 2017, and a total cash cost of U.S.$296 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$269 million
in 2017. During the first six months of 2019, this division produced 15,138 metric tons of copper with a cash
cost of 225.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$74 million. Unless the Inca Pit project (as described
below) enters the execution stage, CODELCO”s Board of Directors has decided to phase out mining operations
at the Salvador mine by 2021, or sooner, if warranted by market and operational conditions, specifically
marketability of its copper, cash costs and annual reviews of performance. The Potrerillos smelter and refinery
would continue to operate upon any cessation of the mining operations at Salvador.
+ The Ventanas Division was created in connection with the acquisition of the Ventanas smelter/refinery complex
from Chile”s state-owned mining company ENAMI in May 2005. In 2018, this division refined 409,049 metric
tons of copper, compared to 410,024 metric tons of copper in 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition,
CODELCO is required to provide on market terms the necessary smelting and refining capacity for the
treatment of copper concentrate delivered by the small- and medium-sized mining industry that ENAMI serves.
For a description of CODELCO”s associations with other companies, see “Business and Properties—
Copper Production—Associations, Joint Ventures and Partnerships” below.
Beginning in late 2010, CODELCO implemented a corporate reorganization plan which divided the
management of the CODELCO*s operations into Northern Operations (Operaciones Norte) and Central Southern
Operations (Operaciones Centro Sur), to supervise the divisions in the north and center-southern regions,
respectively. The reorganization was intended to simplify the organizational structure by causing all corporate
administrative and support functions to report to a single vice president, and the productive divisions to concentrate
on maximizing production, controlling costs and implementing safety measures. The Chuquicamata Division, the
Radomiro Tomic Division, the Mina Ministro Hales Division and the Salvador Division are now supervised by the
Vice President of Northern Operations (Operaciones Norte). The Andina Division, the El Teniente Division and the
Ventanas Division are now supervised by the Vice President of Central Southern Operations (Operaciones Centro
Sur).
CODELCOS”s copper production, including its share of the El Abra deposit and of Anglo American Sur,
increased to 1,806,363 metric tons during the twelve months of 2018 from 1,842,075 metric tons in the twelve
months of 2017. This decrease was mainly due to lower copper production from the Andina, Mina Ministro Hales,
Gabriela Mistral and Chuquicamata Divisions. Molybdenum production decreased by 16.2% in 2018 mainly due to
the decreased production from the Chuquicamata and the Andina Divisions.
The table below shows the production of copper from CODELCO”s mines, as compared to private sector
production in Chile, for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 and the six-month period ended June 30,

(1) Expenditures have been invested in projects in the execution stage.
Nonetheless, the figures above reflect the estimated investments that CODELCO expected to make under
its 2019 updated BDP report. CODELCO continues to reformulate the Andina expansion project, which could
decrease the medium-term capital expenditure program. Therefore, this medium-term period more reliably reflects
CODELCO”s commitments than a longer-term period, especially considering current industry trends.
El Teniente Division
Mining Operations. The El Teniente Division is the largest division of CODELCO, based on 2018
production, and operates the El Teniente underground mine located 80 kilometers southeast of Santiago. With the
production of 465,040 metric tons in 2018, it is the world”s largest underground copper mine. For information
regarding the new mine level at the El Teniente mine, see “Summary—Competitive Strengths.”
The El Teniente deposit is also a porphyry-type ore body. The deposit covers a vertical span of over
1,500 meters. A tabular subvertical dacite porphyry intrusion two kilometers long by 200 meters wide is well
exposed in the northern part of the deposit, and a quartz-diorite stock is located at the southeast side. Wall rocks are
mostly andesites, which are strongly mineralized, containing a high concentration of chalcopyrite and bornite. The
size of the deposit is at least three kilometers north-south and close to one kilometer wide.
68
El Teniente primarily produces concentrates that are smelted at the Caletones smelter. In addition to the
principal mine at El Teniente, the division performs mining operations at several other areas of the main deposit,
with a production of approximately 142,000 metric tons of ore per day. The Esmeralda area of the mine is the main
producing mine area, producing approximately 36,750 metric tons of ore per day.
As of June 30, 2019, the El Teniente Division employed 4,222 persons and produced 202,936 metric tons
of copper at a cash cost of 105.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$465 million, as compared to a cash
cost of 109.0 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$535 million during the first six months of 2018. In 2018,
this division had a cash cost of 106.5 cents per pound, compared to 113.5 cents per pound in 2016 and 97.2 cents per
pound in 2016, and a total cash cost of U.S.$1.1 million in 2018, compared to U.S.$1.2 million in 2017 and U.S.$1.0
million in 2016.

Smelting Operations. The El Teniente Division includes the Caletones smelter, which has the capacity to
smelt 1.25 million metric tons of concentrate per year. The El Teniente mine supplies 1.29 million metric tons of
concentrate per year to the Caletones smelter. The balance of concentrate processed by the smelter is brought by
railway from the Andina Division, 300 kilometers away.
The Caletones smelter operates two Teniente modified converters, three Pierce Smith Converters and
several refining furnaces and gas treatment plants. El Teniente has no electrolytic refining plant, and smelter output
is sold as fire-refined copper or anodes to be refined at other facilities such as the Ventanas refinery or
Chuquicamata.
Radomiro Tomic Division
Radomiro Tomic. The Radomiro Tomic deposit lies five kilometers north of the main pit at Chuquicamata.
Radomiro Tomic began production at the end of 1997. The Radomiro Tomic mine is a state of the art facility, and
the world”s largest producer of copper using the highly efficient SX-EW process.
During the first half of 2010, the Sulfide Phase 1 project was completed, which enables the treatment of
100,000 metric tons per day of sulfides from Radomiro Tomic in the Chuquicamata processing plants. In 2018, the
Radomiro Tomic Division produced 332,667 metric tons of copper.
As of June 30, 2019, the Radomiro Tomic Division employed 1,233 persons and produced 127,422 metric
tons of copper at a cash cost of 141.3 and a total cash cost of U.S.$395 million compared to a cash cost of 135.2
cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$525 million during the first six months of 2018. In 2018, this division
had a cash cost of 134.1 cents per pound compared to a cash cost of 131.4 cents per pound in 2017 and 134.8 cents
per pound in 2016 and a total cash cost of U.S.$973 million in 2018, compared to a total cash cost of U.S.$ 915

Chuquicamata Division
Chuquicamata—Mining Operations. Chuquicamata is one of the largest open pits in the world with a total
production of 320,744 metric tons in 2018. Located in the Atacama Desert, 1,200 kilometers north of Santiago and
240 kilometers east of the Chilean city of Antofagasta, the mine has been in continuous operation since 1915. The
Chuquicamata mine is an open-pit operation that produces predominantly sulfide concentrates, which are smelted
and refined on site. The pit size of the Chuquicamata mine is almost nine kilometers long in a north-south direction
by five kilometers wide and one kilometer deep.
The Chuquicamata deposit is a porphyry-type ore body. The most important feature of the ore body is a
north-south regional fault, the west fissure fault, which cuts the ore on the west side and creates a sharp limit on the
deposit. An oxide ore zone was a large part of the deposit and has been almost totally mined out. The mine contains
a supergene enrichment layer (a redeposit of copper, by natural forces, from higher to lower layers), which has a
thickness of almost 800 meters near the center of the mine. Five kilometers north of Chuquicamata, the ore body
narrows and merges with the Radomiro Tomic ore body. For information regarding the transformation of the
Chuquicamata mine from an open pit mine to an underground operation, see “Summary—Competitive Strengths.”
Chuquicamata—Smelting Operations. Chuquicamata utilizes one Outokumpu flash furnace, five Pierce
Smith converters and two Teniente converters to process 1.25 million metric tons of 29.6% copper concentrate per
year. Chuquicamata performs all stages of copper production from the mining process through cathode production.
As of June 30, 2019, the Chuquicamata Division employed 5,189 persons and produced 166,131 metric
tons of copper at a cash cost of 125.6 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$447 million, compared to a cash
cost of 133.4 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$392 million during the first six months of 2018. In 2018,
this division had a cash cost of 131.5 cents per pound compared to a cash cost of 130.9 cents per pound in 2017 and
118.3 cents per pound in 2016 and a total cash cost of U.S.$908 million in 2018, compared to a total cash cost of
U.S.$933 million in 2017 and U.S.$774 million in 2016.

concentrator with processing capacity of 50,000 tons per day. Copper concentrates will be processed in a new
roasting plant. The project also includes a new acid plant.
Gabriela Mistral Division
The Gabriela Mistral ore body is located in Chile?s Second Region and began production in May 2008. On
January 1, 2013, CODELCO created the Gabriela Mistral Division, which operates the Gabriela Mistral mine.
Gabriela Mistral uses SX-EW technology and produced its first copper cathodes in May 2008 after a 26-month
construction period at a cost of U.S.$1.0 billion. In 2018, the Gabriela Mistral Deposit produced 107,247 metric
tons of copper.
As of June 30, 2019, the Gabriela Mistral Division employed 536 persons and produced 42,284 metric tons
of copper at a cash cost of 265.4 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$247 million, as compared to a cash
cost of 196.3 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$216 million during the first six months of 2018. In 2018,
this division had a total cash cost of 191.9 cents per pound, compared to a cash cost of 151.9 cents per pound in

Andina Division
Mining Operations. The Andina Division operates the Andina mine and the Sur-Sur mine, which are
located 50 kilometers northeast of Santiago. Production at the Andina Division is split among open-pit and
underground mines. For information regarding the Andina plant reallocation project, see “Summary—Competitive
Strengths.” The Andina Division does not operate a smelter. Its production is processed at the Caletones smelter of
El Teniente, at the Ventanas refinery or at the Salvador Division, and some of its concentrate is sold to ENAMI or
other purchasers. As of June 30, 2019, the Andina Division employed 1,641 persons and produced 83,793 metric
tons of copper at a cash cost of 183.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$328 million, as compared to a
cash cost of 160.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$346 million during the first six months of 2018. In
2018, this division produced 195,531 metric tons of copper and had a cash cost of 163.7 cents per pound, compared
to a cash cost of 139.6 cents per pound in 2017 and 146.6 cents per pound in 2016 and a total cash cost of U.S.$682

71
The Río Blanco-Los Bronces porphyry-type deposit, one of the largest copper ore bodies in Chile, is
partially owned by the Andina Division. The northwest portion of this deposit is owned by the Andina Division;
Anglo Sur owns and operates the mines at Los Bronces and El Soldado along with the Chagres smelter and various
mineral resources, including Los Sulfatos and San Enrique Monolito, located in the southwest portion of the deposit.
The deposit is characterized by plentiful tourmaline and breccia rock bodies mineralized with copper sulfides,
mostly calcopyrite. CODELCO”s portion of the deposit is four kilometers in length, in the northwest to southeast
direction, with a maximum width of almost one kilometer.

With the aim to increase the processing output of the Andina Division, CODELCO completed the Andina
Phase I Expansion Project in 2010. While the Andina Division had plans to continue investing to expand the mine
and increase copper production by an additional 350,000 tons of copper per year, the Company is currently
reformulating its plans in order to create an alternative that should require less investment, while at the same time
seeking to minimize the environmental impact and prolong the life of the Andina Division.
Salvador Division
Mining Operations. The Salvador Division is the smallest of CODELCOS*s divisions. In 2018, it produced
60,840 metric tons of fine copper. The complex includes the mine and concentrator at Salvador and a
smelter/refinery at Potrerillos. The Salvador mine is located 900 kilometers north of Santiago and 120 kilometers
east of the Chilean port of Chañaral. Concentrates are transported 67 kilometers from the mine to the smelter at
Potrerillos via pipeline and truck.
The Salvador Division has the smallest base reserve of ore among all of CODELCO”s divisions. The
Salvador deposit is a typical medium-sized porphyry-type ore body. There is an 80- to 200-meter thick leached
capping covering a lensoid-shaped enrichment layer roughly one kilometer in diameter that attains a maximum
thickness of about 250 meters. This enrichment layer is almost completely mined out. Mining is currently focused
on the primary ore located underneath the secondary enrichment (the so-called Inca levels).
As of June 30, 2019, Salvador employed 1,518 persons and produced 15,138 metric tons of fine copper at a
cash cost of 225.8 cents per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$74 million, compared to a cash cost of 218.5 cents
per pound and a total cash cost of U.S.$124 million during the first six months of 2018. In 2018, this division had a
cash cost of 223.5 cents per pound, compared to a cash cost of 198.7 cents per pound in 2017 and 182.3 cents per
pound in 2016 and a total cash cost of U.S.$296 million in 2018, compared to a total cash cost of U.S.$269 million
in 2017, and U.S.$239 million in 2016.
Unless the Inca Pit project (as described below) enters the execution stage, CODELCO”s Board of
Directors has decided to phase out mining operations at the Salvador mine by 2021, or sooner, if warranted by
market and operational conditions, specifically marketability of its copper, cash costs and annual reviews of
performance. The Potrerillos smelter and refinery would continue to operate upon any cessation of the mining
operations at Salvador.

Smelting Operations. The smelting and refining operation is located at Potrerillos. This facility includes
one Teniente converter and four Pierce Smith converters for a rated annual capacity of 671,000 metric tons of
concentrate. CODELCO increased capacity of the Potrerillos smelter in May 2004 and is currently conducting
conceptual engineering for a proposed expansion of capacity of the Potrerillos refinery.
Ventanas Division
Smelting and Refinery Operations. The Ventanas Division was created in connection with the acquisition
of the Ventanas smelter and refinery from the Chilean state-owned mining company ENAMI in May 2005. The
Ventanas smelter has the capacity to treat of over 400,000 metric tons of concentrate. Ventanas refined
approximately 409,049 metric tons of copper in 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, CODELCO is
required to provide, on market terms, the necessary smelting and refining capacity for the treatment of products for
the small- and medium-sized mining industry that ENAMI serves. As of June 30, 2019, the Ventanas Division
employed 838 persons.
Associations, Joint Ventures and Partnerships
CODELCO has undertaken several projects, business ventures and associations with certain private sector
mining and non-mining enterprises, including:
e Copper Partners Investment Company Ltd.: In March 2006, CODELCO and Minmetals created a joint venture
company equally owned by both companies. Under a 15-year sales contract covering a total of 836,250 metric
tons of copper, CODELCO sells cathodes to Copper Partners Investment Company Ltd. (“CuPIC”). The joint
venture made an initial up-front payment of U.S.$550 million to CODELCO in March 2006 and pays a price
balance on shipments during the term of the contract. In turn, the joint venture sells the cathodes to Minmetals
at market prices. Shipments under the contract commenced in June 2006. CODELCO also granted Minmetals
an option to acquire, at market price, a minority interest in a company that will be formed to exploit the
Gabriela Mistral mineral deposit. In September 2008, CODELCO and Minmetals suspended the option
indefinitely. The option may be revived upon the agreement of both parties. CODELCO and Minmetals also
agreed to identify joint opportunities in the future. On April 7, 2016, CODELCO (i) reached an agreement with
Minmetals to lower sale of copper from CODELCO to CuPIC by half and (ii) sold its 50% direct ownership
interest in CuPIC. Under this arrangement, CODELCO no longer makes payments to, directly or indirectly, or
receives payments from, directly or indirectly, Minmetals or CuPIC. This company had delivered dividends to
CODELCO in an aggregate amount of U.S.$104.7 million and U.S.$14.4 million in 2015 and 2016,
respectively.
e SCMEI Abra: In 1994, CODELCO (49%) formed a company, SCM El Abra, with Cyprus El Abra Corporation
(51%), a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., to develop the El Abra mine in northern Chile. The mine is a
porphyry copper open-pit facility located 105 kilometers north of the city of Calama at an altitude of 3,900
meters above sea level. Constructed at a cost of U.S.$1.1 billion, it is designed to produce 225,000 metric tons
of copper per year and includes one of the world’s largest SX-EW facilities. The El Abra project was originally
financed by a U.S.$850 million syndicated loan, which was repaid in full in November 2004.
o In October 2009, SCM El Abra approved resuming construction activities for the Sulfolix Project,
which had been deferred as a result of market conditions at the end of 2008, to extract and process (by
the leaching process) sulfide ores, which is expected to extend mine life by 13 years and enable El
Abra to produce at least 125,000 metric tons of fine copper per year. This project contains
73
approximately 1.2 billion metric tons of leachable oxide and sulfide copper, with an average ore grade
of 0.43%. The project started producing sulfides, shifting from an oxide operation, during the first
quarter of 2011 and includes milling mine ores until 2024, and is expected to generate the last cathode
in 2029 by leaching heap remains. The Sulfolix Project requires approximately U.S.$565 million of
initial equity and an additional U.S.$160 million to sustain the operations. The project is financed by
SCM El Abra’s retained earnings.
o In 2018, SCM El Abra produced 90,532 metric tons of fine copper at a cash cost of 234 cents per
pound. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the production was 36,481 metric tons of fine copper
with a cash cost of 271 cents per pound.
o The project had delivered total dividends of U.S.$110 million, U.S.$80 million, and U.S.$10 million in
2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and CODELCO had received U.S.$53.9 million, U.S.$39.2 million
and U.S.$4.9 million in dividends in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. In the first six months of 2019,
the project had not delivered dividends. As of June 30, 2019, the carrying value of SCM El Abra’s
ownership interest was equal to U.S.$599.9 million.
Anglo American Sur: On December 19, 2008, CODELCO purchased from ENAMI for U.S.$175 million an
option to purchase up to 49% of the equity interests of Anglo American Sur, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Anglo American, for a price to be determined by a prescribed formula based on a multiple of historic earnings
(the “Sur Option”). Anglo American Sur owns and operates the mines at Los Bronces and El Soldado, the
Chagres Smelter and various mineral resources, including Los Sulfatos and San Enrique Monolito. In October
2011, CODELCO announced that it had arranged for a bridge loan of up to U.S.$6.75 billion from Mitsui that
would allow it to exercise the Sur Option and indicated its intent to exercise the Sur Option during the next
window for its exercise, which would occur in January 2012. On November 9, 2011, Anglo American
announced that it had sold 24.5% of the equity interests of Anglo American Sur to affiliates of Mitsubishi
Corporation. Following this sale, CODELCO announced that it retained the right to acquire up to 49% of the
equity interests of Anglo American Sur and requested from the Santiago Court of Appeals a legal order
preventing further sales of equity interests of Anglo American Sur until CODELCO was able to exercise the
Sur Option. The requested legal order was granted and, on January 2, 2012, CODELCO exercised the Sur
Option to purchase 49% of the equity interests of Anglo American Sur. Prior to and after the exercise of the
Sur Option, Anglo American and CODELCO were involved in additional legal proceedings relating to the
exercise of the Sur Option, which were ultimately settled pursuant to the settlement agreement described below.
o On August 23, 2012, CODELCO and Anglo American entered into a settlement agreement to settle
their respective claims in relation to the Sur Option. In connection with this settlement agreement,
CODELCO and Anglo American agreed that Becrux, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acrux, an
entity owned by CODELCO and Mitsui in the manner described below, would acquire 29.5% of the
equity interests in Anglo American Sur pursuant to the following transactions:
. On August 24, 2012, Becrux acquired (i) shares representing 24.5% of the equity interests of
Anglo American Sur for a purchase price of U.S.$1.7 billion, which was financed through a
draw down by an affiliate of CODELCO on the Aé%R Mitsui Bridge Loan Facility described
under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Other Debt;” and (ii) shares representing
0.94% of the equity interests of Anglo American Sur for a purchase price of U.S.$206.8
million, which was financed by cash contributions made by Mitsui; and
. On September 14, 2012, Becrux acquired shares representing 4.0% of the equity interests of
Anglo American Sur for a purchase price of U.S.$893.2 million, which was financed by cash
contributions made by Mitsui.
o As part of the settlement agreement, Anglo American Sur transferred to CODELCO certain
undeveloped mining properties, Los Leones and Profundo, which are located to the east of
CODELCO”s Andina mine, and the shareholders of Anglo American Sur entered into a shareholders”
74
agreement that provides a framework for the ongoing governance of Anglo American Sur, which
includes board representation and participation in certain decisions for Becrux.
o Immediately following the acquisition of 29.5% of the equity interests of Anglo American Sur,
affiliates of CODELCO and Mitsui owned approximately 83% and 17%, respectively, of the equity
interests of Acrux. In connection with the refinancing of the A8%R Mitsui Bridge Loan Facility
described above under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Other Debt,” an affiliate of Mitsui exercised its right to
acquire from an affiliate of CODELCO at the closing of the refinancing a number of equity interests of
Acrux representing a 4.5% stake in Anglo American Sur for a purchase price equal to U.S.$998
million. This amount was used to prepay a portion of the bridge loan previously drawn down by an
affiliate of CODELCO under the A8%R Mitsui Bridge Loan Facility in connection with the transactions
described above. Following the consummation of this transaction, affiliates of CODELCO and Mitsui
owned approximately 67.8% and 32.2%, respectively, of the equity interests of Acrux. Consequently,
CODELCO indirectly owns a 20% interest in Anglo American Sur.
o On November 26, 2016, CODELCO signed a credit agreement with Mitsui renegotiating the payment
of principal at the end of the contract. The terms established an annual interest rate of Libor +2.5%
with a five-year maturity to be payable in one installment at maturity with semi-annual interest
payments. On May 26, 2017, CODELCO signed a new credit agreement with Mitsui renegotiating the
following semi-annual payment, which was on the same terms as the first renegotiation done in
November 2016.
o On December 21, 2017, CODELCO and Mitsui agreed to merge Acrux into Becrux, as the surviving
entity. The reorganization did not affect the interest that CODELCO and Mitsui indirectly hold in
Anglo American Sur.
o Anglo American Sur fine copper production was 422,247 metric tons in 2018 with a cash cost of 149
cents per pound, compared to 348,732 metric tons in 2017 with a cash cost of 173 cents per pound and
354,178 metric tons in 2016 with a cash cost of 157 cents per pound. For the six months ended June 30,
2019, the production was 208,210 metric tons of fine copper with a cash cost of 138 cents per pound.
Anglo American Sur has distributed U.S.$0 in 2016, U.S.$ 187.3 million in 2017, U.S.$182.9 million
in 2018, and U.S.$84.4 million as of June 30, 2019 in cash dividends to Becrux, and CODELCO has a
67.8% indirect participation in Becrux. As of June 30, 2019, the carrying value of equity of Anglo
American Sur was equal to U.S.$2.8 billion, of which CODELCO has a 20% indirect participation.
See “Risk Factors.” A substantial amount of our total assets are property, plant and equipment. We
have recently recognized a significant impairment charge for certain assets and, if market and industry
conditions continue to deteriorate, further impairment charges may be recognized” for information
regarding the recorded impairment related to CODELCO*s equity investment in Anglo American Sur.
SCM Purén: CODELCO (35%) and Compañía Mantos de Oro (65%), a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corp., own
SCM Purén. SCM Purén”s mining activities, located in the Atacama Region, east of the city of Copiapó, began
in November 2005, having produced over 801,839 ounces of equivalent gold. In 2015, the company distributed
U.S.$2.5 million in dividends to CODELCO. During 2016, 2017, 2018 and the first six months of 2019, this
company did not issue dividends. SCM Purén mines two gold and silver ore bodies through open pits.
Currently, SCM Púren is evaluating a second phase of the project, which is expected to produce 295,419 ounces
of gold equivalent over a four-year period.
Agua de la Falda S.A.: CODELCO (43%) and Minera Meridian Limitada (57%), a subsidiary of Yamaha Gold
Inc., own Agua de la Falda S.A., which was created to explore and exploit the Agua de la Falda deposit that
was in production until 2005. This company has completed its feasibility study of the Jerónimo gold deposit,
which contains over 2 million ounces of gold. The results of this study have not been satisfactory and the
partners are studying alternatives for improvement.
Inca de Oro S.A.: CODELCO (34%) and PanAust Minera Limited (66%) own Inca de Oro S.A., which was
75
created in 2009 to explore, exploit and process mineral resources in Chile and abroad. The production of Inca
de Oro S.A. is currently halted pending new market opportunities.
Deutsche Giessdraht GmbH: CODELCO (40%) and Aurubis AG (60%) own Deutsche Giessdraht GmbH, a
German corporation located in Emmerich, Germany. The company, which has been in existence since 1975,
produces continuous copper cast wire rod. CODELCO indirectly supplies copper to Deutsche Giessdraht
GmbH. On July 31, 2018, CODELCO sold its 40% ownership stake in Deutsche Giessdraht GmbH to its
partner Aurubis AG after receiving approval of the transaction by Germany”s federal antitrust regulator
(Bundeskartellamt). The sale includes an agreement which allows CODELCO to produce wire rod until
December 31, 2018 to fulfill its sales contract obligations that expire at the end of 2018.
GNL Mejillones S.A.: Due to the decrease and eventual termination of natural gas supply from Argentina,
electrical power generation companies have experienced diminished electricity generation. For this reason,
CODELCO and Suez Energy Andino S.A. through GNL Mejillones constructed an LNG re-gasification plant,
which has been operating since the beginning of 2010. GNL Mejillones has the capacity to receive, process and
store natural gas, with a send-out capacity of 5.5 million of cubic meters of gas per day, originating in Trinidad
and Tobago and purchased from SUEZ Global LNG Ltd. under a long-term supply contract. The LNG storage
tank is currently in operation. GNL has entered into a long-term agreement with E-CL for the re-gasification
and storage of approximately 15 trillion BTU (British Thermal Unit).
o GNL Mejillones provides gas required by the electricity power plant in the Sistema Interconectado del
Norte Grande, known as the SING, which supplies power to CODELCO”s operations. The project
partners have financed this project under existing take-or-pay contracts with CODELCO and other
mining companies.
o As of June 30, 2019, CODELCO owned 37% of the outstanding shares of the company, and Suez
Energy Andino S.A. owned the remaining 63% of the shares.
o On August 6, 2019, CODELCO announced the sale of its 37% stake in GNL Mejillones S.A. to to
Ameris Capital AGF, for an amount of US$193.5 million.
Salar de Maricunga SpA: In April 2017, CODELCO formed Salar de Maricunga SpA (“Salar de Maricunga”)
to develop projects for the exploration and exploitation of lithium in Chile. In March 2018, Salar de Maricunga
entered into a special lithium operating contract with Chile?s Ministry of Mining for the exploration and
development of a lithium project in the Maricunga salt flat in the northern Atacama Region of Chile. In August
2019, CODELCO subscribed a non-binding MOU with Minera Salar Blanco S.A. with the purpose of studying
how to structure a sustainable lithium project from a social, environmental and economic point of view in the
Salar de Maricunga, with the aim of the project becoming the third largest lithium producer in Chile. During the
term of the MOU, the companies will negotiate the definitive terms of the association that will allow them to
carry out this initiative, combining their experiences. This MOU seeks to enable CODELCO to participate in a
lithium project that consolidates the main mining properties of the Maricunga salt flat, based on a public-private
alliance model, according to the guidelines of the National Lithium Policy.
Technology and Research and Development Partnerships and Associations: CODELCO has entered into
associations with companies and organizations that are world leaders in research and development to increase
the integration of knowledge and innovation into mining processes. The following is a representative list of
such associations:
o BioSigma S.A.: CODELCO (66.67%) established BioSigma S.A. (“BioSigma”) in 2002 with the
Japanese company JX-Nippon Mining and Metals Corporation (33.33%). BioSigma”s mission today is
to be a company known for its competence in deploying and adapting full innovative biotechnology
solutions, adding value to mining operations by way of using environmentally sustainable
technologies. BioSigma plays a leading role in CODELCO’s efforts to develop bioleaching
technologies to improve the leaching process of primary copper sulfide ores operations that will add
more copper to solvent extraction and electro-winning plants that are not being fully used due to
76
depletion of oxidized mineral resources. In December 2012, a full industrial test of BioSigma”s
technologies commenced and was applied to mining resources in the Radomiro Tomic Division, which
involves a pioneer biomass plant to supply leaching microorganisms into low grade primary sulfide
ores heaps. The test was successfully finished in May 2014. Results indicate that BioSigma”s
bioleaching technology produced a significant improvement in copper recovery and profitability
compared to those of conventional bioleaching technologies;
Kairos Mining S.A.: Kairos Mining S.A. is a company created in December 2006 in association with
Honeywell Chile S.A., which owns 95% (CODELCO owns the remaining 5%). Kairos Mining S.A.’s
purpose is to provide services for the automation and control of industrial and mining activities, and to
supply related technology and software licenses;
Ecosea Farming S.A.: CODELCO, through its subsidiary Innovaciones en Cobre S.A., is an 91.32%
shareholder in EcoSea Farming (“EcoSea”), a technology-driven company setting the standard for
aquaculture on a global scale. The company”s objective is to incorporate the use of metallic copper
alloy meshes for fish cultivation systems, in order to take advantage of the various benefits of copper:
antimicrobial, antifouling, anti-predator, mechanically strong and infinitely recyclable. In addition,
EcoSea is discovering new properties that allow for lower operational costs and the expansion of
offshore aquaculture in exposed areas. Today, CODELCO is seeking a strategic partner that can work
with EcoSea to promote this technology on a global scale;
CoMoTech S.A.: CODELCO, through its subsidiary Innovaciones en Cobre S.A., owns 48.61% of
CoMoTech, Molibdenos y Metales S.A. owns 48.61% and The University of Chile owns the remaining
shares. CoMoTech was created for research and development purposes to increase molybdenum
demand through new and enhanced applications. CoMoTech’s results were not as expected and in
April 2016 it was dissolved; and
Copper for Energy S.A. (C4E): CODELCO, through its subsidiary Innovaciones en Cobre S.A., along
with the University of Chile, ICA and Fundación Chile formed the C4E consortium in 2010. C4E was
created to develop renewable energy and water treatment technologies and products, using copper as
the key material due to its superior conductivity and properties. C4E”s results have not been as
expected and the company is in the process of being wound up.
The following table sets forth the major mining and exploration agreements to which CODELCO is a party

CODELCO reports its inventory of mining assets, distinguishing mineral resources and mineral reserves,
according to Chilean and international regulation. The system described below for categorizing mineral ore, which
is widely used within the mining industry, is codified in Chilean Law No. 20,235 and is regulated by an
independent Chilean private entity called the Comisión Calificadora de Competencias en Recursos y Reservas
Mineras (the Commission for the Qualification of Competencies in Mineral Resources and Reserves, or
“CQCMRR”). The CQCMRR is part of the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards
(CRIRSCO).
Geological Resources
Geological resources are concentrations or occurrences of materials in such form, quantity (tonnage and
ore grade) and quality, based on specific geological evidence and knowledge, which allow for the calculation of the
amount, ore grade and quality of the material with some level of confidence. Geological resources are identified
and evaluated through exploration, reconnaissance and sampling. They are estimated based on geological
knowledge about the deposit, which is based on scientific concepts concerning the formation of minerals such as
oxides, sulfides and mixed ores, as well as available knowledge concerning the geological continuity of the
mineralized sectors. This is based on technical parameters, such as robustness of the genetic-geological model, and
its validation through drillings. Geological resources are further categorized as measured, indicated and inferred.
A resource is considered to be measured if CODELCO””s knowledge of the resource is extensive and direct;
if CODELCO”s knowledge of the resource is substantial but less extensive, it is considered to be indicated; and if
CODELCO'”s knowledge of the resource is only indirect, it is considered to be inferred.
Mineral Resources
Once CODELCO has achieved increased knowledge about its geological resources, it is able to generate a
long-term mining plan for the exploitation of such resources, which are then considered to be mineral resources.
Mineral resources, as well as geological resources, are sub-categorized as measured, indicated and inferred.
Ore Reserves
Ore reserves are defined as the economically mineable part of mineral resources. They include diluting
materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined. Appropriate assessments and
studies have been carried out, which take into account rationally assumed mining, metallurgical, economic,
marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments address at the time of
reporting whether extraction is justified. Ore reserves are sub-divided in order of increasing confidence from
probable ore reserves to proved ore reserves. Ore reserves are a subset of mineral resources in the same way as
mineral resources are a subset of geological resources. The following diagram sets forth the relationships among
the different categories of resources and reserves:

Based on the methods and categories described above, CODELCO*s proved and probable reserves include
47.6 million metric fine tons of copper, an amount that represents at least 26 years of future production at current
levels.
geological resources include 392.1 million metric tons of copper, for a cut-off grade of 0.2% copper.
CODELCO”s mineral resources include 134.2 million metric fine tons of copper, and its identified
CODELCO*s proved and probable reserves slightly decreased from 48.3 million metric tons in 2018 to
47.6 million metric tons in 2019, increased to 48.3 million metric tons in 2018 from 48.2 million metric tons in 2017
and decreased to 48.2 million metric tons in 2017 from 51.0 million metric tons in 2016 primarily due to the impact
on the calculation of reserves from the decrease in production at Andina mine, as a result of the reformulation of the
Andina expansion project.

(2) Refers to copper holdings that are measured, indicated and inferred.
Each year, the Board of Directors must approve a long-term BDP of the Company. The first three years are
subject to the approval of the Ministries of Finance and Mining. This plan must include the annual investment and
financing amounts in addition to the annual profits that the Company is estimated to generate during the period. The
Ministries of Finance and Mining jointly issue a decree, pursuant to which a portion of CODELCO”s profit may be
allocated by CODELCO to the creation of capitalization and reserve funds.
The 2019 BDP enables CODELCO to develop a long-term mining plan. CODELCO reviews the terms of
the BDP annually to update or modify it for changes in business trends.
The 2019 BDP uses inferred resources to define CODELCO”s strategic vision for long-term resource
development. However, the incorporation of such resources increases gradually over time, and the inferred
resources become proved and probable reserves.
In the early stages of the 2019 BDP, production is almost exclusively based on proved and probable
reserves and mining projects are at advanced stages of engineering or at the investment stage. Mining projects must
support their economic evaluation based on pre-defined minimum proved and probable reserves in order to be
approved for investment.
Resource Development
CODELCO controls approximately 6% of the world”s proved and probable copper reserves, as such terms
are defined by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Potential geological resources, which have been identified by our internal exploration division as the result
of projects carried out through 2018, comprise resources incorporated at different stages of exploration and have not
been added into CODELCO*s copper holdings.
CODELCOSs total potential geological resources, according to our internal estimates, are approximately
2.438 million of metric tons of ore with an 0.44% average copper ore grade, and equivalent to 10.69 million metric
tons of fine copper. As explorations progress and further estimates are completed, these resources could be
incorporated into CODELCO”s copper holdings.
The following table shows the distribution of CODELCO”s potential geological resources in all districts of
CODELCO Norte and projects abroad, as of December 31, 2018:

Production Costs of Copper
CODELCOSs production costs include all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the mining and
production of its copper mix and related byproducts. These production costs do not include administrative and
operating costs incurred in connection with the processing of other copper products purchased from third parties.
In 2018, CODELCO”s annual production of copper was 1.68 million metric tons, or 1.81 million metric
tons including the El Abra and Anglo American Sur interests. CODELCO continues to focus on controlling and
limiting increases in production costs. In 2018, CODELCO”s total costs and expenses were 245.1 cents per pound,
compared to 227.1 cents per pound in 2017 and 214.6 cents per pound in 2016, mainly due to the appreciation of the
Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, lower production levels, higher input prices, reflected in higher fuel, energy
and materials expenses, a non-cash charge related to a write-off of an underground mining innovation project, an
impairment recognition in Ventanas Division and higher bonuses and employment benefits associated with 18
collective bargaining agreements. The increase in 2017 compared to 2016 is primarily attributable to the
appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar followed by higher interest expenses and higher fuel and
energy expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, CODELCO”s total costs and expenses were
258.3 cents per pound, compared to 237.2 cents per pound for the same period in 2018, mainly due to lower
production in connection with weather disruptions in the northern area of Chile, a 14-day strike at the Chuquicamata
mine, upgrades at the Chuquicamata and Salvador smelters that suspended operations temporarily, the negative
impact of foreign exchange rate translation effects, higher bonuses and other employment benefits associated with
its collective bargaining agreements and higher financing costs.
In 2013, CODELCO also implemented a productivity and cost structured project intended to lower costs
and increase production. The initiative is comprised of: (i) performance optimization to minimize operational
disruption; (ii) budget optimization to identify expendable and necessary contracts to control the budget for
third-party services costs; (iii) energy and input costs optimization marked by a review of energy and main inputs
contracts; and (iv) a review of hygienic factors and costs, such as travel expenses and consulting services.
Moreover, CODELCO has also created a new Vice President for Productivity and Costs position with the aim of
increasing productivity, reducing costs and enhancing the cost control program.
In 2018, CODELCOS*s cash cost of production was 139.1 cents per pound compared to 135.9 cents per
pound in 2017 and 126.1 cents per pound in 2016 primarily attributable to the appreciation of the Chilean peso
against the U.S. dollar, lower production levels, and higher main input prices. The higher cash cost in 2017 is
mainly the consequence of higher operational costs, the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar and
the increase in interest expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, CODELCO”s cash cost was 142.3 cents
per pound, compared to 137.6 cents per pound in the same period in 2018, due to lower production levels as a result
of weather disruptions in the northern area of Chile, a 14-day strike at the Chuquicamata mine and lower by-product
credits due to lower volumes sold of molybdenum, sulfuric acid, gold and silver.
In 2018, CODELCOS’S total cash cost was U.S.$5.1 billion, compared to U.S.$5.1 billion in 2017 and
U.S.$4.7 billion in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, CODELCOSs total cash cost was U.S.$2.2 billion,
as compared to U.S.$2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Because a significant portion of
CODELCOSs costs are denominated in Chilean pesos, the depreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar
reduces CODELCO*s cash costs in U.S. dollar terms and, on the other hand, the appreciation increases these costs.
See “Exchange Rates.”
The main energy sources for CODELCO”s operations are electricity, liquid fuels (such as diesel, fuel oil
and gasoline) and natural gas. Since 2004, there has been a restricted supply of natural gas from Argentina.
81
CODELCOSs production costs have increased due to these shortages, having to rely on electricity generated from
more expensive sources, such as diesel, oil or coal, and these increased costs have adversely affected CODELCO”s
results of operations.
In late 2009 and early 2010, as a palliative measure given the adverse effects of Argentina”s restriction and
in order to stabilize future energy costs, CODELCO entered into electrical supply agreements at competitive prices
for a 15-year period for its facilities in the Chuquicamata Division and for a 30-year period for facilities in the
middle-south region of Chile. Both agreements include the creation of new electrical generation capacity based on
coal. Furthermore, in 2018 CODELCO entered into an extension of the Chuquicamata Division contract for an
additional 11 years. This new agreement, effective as of 2025, provides for the creation of new electrical generation
capacity based on renewable sources. Additionally, in early 2010, CODELCO entered into a five-year supply
contract for liquid fuels with the main Chilean fuel distributors. In 2015, after the expiration of this contract,
CODELCO entered into a new five-year supply contract for liquid fuels. In August 2011, CODELCO entered into
two energy and power supply agreements with Norgener S.A. for the Mina Ministro Hales Division and the
Radomiro Tomic Division. CODELCO began to receive energy under these contracts in 2011 for Mina Ministro
Hales and began in 2017 for Radomiro Tomic, in each case lasting until 2028. During 2014, AES Gener S.A. took
over Norgener S.A., assigning CODELCO”s contract to AES Gener S.A. These energy supply contracts are
expected to meet all of CODELCO”s power requirements. In April 2012, CODELCO renewed a contract with
Pacific Hydro, involving the purchase of power generation of the Coya and Pangal hydroelectric plants, for 12 years.
Since CODELCOSs sale of the Coya and Pangal hydroelectric plants to Pacific Hydro in 2004, Pacific Hydro and
CODELCO have entered into similar supply contracts to purchase the injected energy produced by these
hydroelectric plants.
CODELCO continues to develop and refine its mine management practices and programs to limit and
reduce its costs. These initiatives include the following: (i) improved deposit identification and mining techniques;
(ii) the implementation of early retirement plans and workforce reduction programs; (iii) an investment in human
capital and continuing to attract and retain a world-class management team and professionals of the highest caliber;
(iv) improved utilization of equipment and inputs used in the processes of copper production to increase productivity
and efficiency; and (v) the development of key projects, specifically the new mine level at El Teniente, the Andina
plant reallocation and the Chuquicamata underground projects.
Marketing

CODELCOSs marketing strategy is focused in three major areas:
e Establishing long-term relationships. CODELCO encourages sales through annual contracts and direct
long-term relationships with copper consumers.
82
e Quality and sales service. CODELCO focuses on product quality and sales service based on timeliness,
scheduling and conditions of product delivery.
e Diversification. CODELCO has a geographically diverse sales portfolio.
Pricing and Hedging
The substantial majority of copper produced by CODELCO is sold under long-term contracts of at least
one year to customers that have long-term relationships with CODELCO. The specific commercial terms of these
contracts are negotiated annually by the parties for the following calendar year. Recently, and as part of a revamped
commercial strategy, CODELCO has agreed to sell copper under a rolling deal format known as “evergreen”
contracts with certain key customers. CODELCO”s evergreen contracts have an initial duration of three years from
the effective date and, unless terminated by either party, are automatically renewed for an additional year at the end
of the original term. The main advantage of evergreen contracts is to lock-in sales to key customers (and for
customers to have a guaranteed supply of raw material from a key supplier) over a longer period of time. For both
annual and evergreen contracts, the premium over the base price is negotiated annually and the base price is the
LME cash settlement averaged over the quotation period, which according to CODELCO”s commercial policy is the
month following the contractual or scheduled month of shipment (referred to as M+1). Products that are not
committed under long-term contracts (which represent a small percentage of CODELCO”s annual volume) are sold
throughout the year at the prevailing conditions of the spot market to either consumers or merchants.
CODELCO applies a premium policy in sales of its Grade A cathodes. Premium amounts for different
markets are adjusted in accordance with prevailing ocean freight costs and keyed to the standard terms of payment
in different markets, as well as to the individual characteristics and competitive conditions of those markets. For
2018, the base premium for CIF shipments (including shipping and insurance costs) to Rotterdam was set at U.S.$87
per metric ton, compared to U.S.$82 per metric ton in 2017 and U.S.$92 per metric ton in 2016. The estimated base
premium for 2019 is U.S.$98 per metric ton.
CODELCO sells its copper concentrates under long-term contracts. These contracts generally have
three-year terms with fixed volume. As a general rule, contracts covering one-third of the terms on one-third of the
volume are negotiated on a yearly basis. The sale price is based on world metal prices and is generally tied to the
LME settlement prices for Grade A copper cathodes minus certain treatment and refining charges.
Molybdenum is sold mainly to steel producers and merchants under annual sale contracts. Sales prices are
based on prevailing monthly averages of molybdenum dealer oxide high/low prices as quoted in “Metals Week” for
a quotation period, generally the month following the scheduled month of shipment.
CODELCO has hedged certain future copper delivery commitments and production in order to manage the
risks associated with copper price volatility in the past. CODELCO currently does not have any hedged production
commitments and therefore there is no relevant impact from hedging. See notes 29 and 30 to the Unaudited Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements.
CODELCO also periodically enters into futures contracts at the request of customers with respect to sales
of its own copper in order to provide protection to its customers against fluctuation in the sale price paid by them in
connection with such sales.
See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations—CODELCO engages in hedging activity
from time to time, particularly with respect to its copper production, which may not be successful and may result in
losses to CODELCO,” notes 29 and 30 to the 2017-2018 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 29 and 30 to
the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding CODELCO”s hedging
activity.
Major Export Customers
As discussed above, most of CODELCO*s customers receive shipments on a monthly basis. Consequently,
CODELCOSs sales volume is relatively consistent throughout the year. CODELCO*s sales of copper in 2017 were
83
geographically diversified, with approximately 55% of sales made to Asia, including 40% to China, 15% of sales
made to Europe and 30% to North and South America. CODELCO”s top ten customers purchased approximately
37.8% of its total copper sales volume in 2017.
The following table shows CODELCO’”s copper sales for the three years ended December 31, 2018 to
CODELCOSs top export markets and in Chile:

(1) Until 2016, sales in Austria, the Netherlands and Denmark were done through Germany and, as a result, such sales are consolidated with
sales in Germany. In 2017, the sales figure also combines the sales in the Netherlands for comparability purposes. There were no sales in
Austria or Denmark in 2017.
The sales to China increased in 2018 as compared to 2017 primarily driven by growth in the world copper
consumption, while sales in China decreased in 2017 as compared to 2016 primarily driven by a reallocation of
supply to stronger demand in the U.S. market.
Competition
CODELCO believes that competition in the copper market is based upon price, quality of product and
timing of delivery. CODELCO’s products compete with other materials, including aluminum and plastics.
CODELCO competes with other mining companies and private individuals in connection with the acquisition of
mining concessions and mineral leases and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
Employees
On December 31, 2018, CODELCO employed 18,036 employees as compared to 18,562 employees as of
December 31, 2017. CODELCO spent U.S.$15.20 million during 2018 on staff development and training. A total
of 8,144 training sessions were held, with many employees attending multiple courses, for a total of approximately
70,566 participants. CODELCO employed an average work force of 18,395 persons during the twelve months of
2018.
As of December 31, 2018, approximately 92.3% of CODELCO”s employees were covered by collective
bargaining agreements with labor unions. Most of these collective bargaining agreements have terms of two to
three years.
84
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, CODELCO negotiated nine collective bargaining agreements
with no conflicts or work stoppages, except for one 14-day strike involving approximately 3,200 union workers in
the Chuquicamata Division.
In 2018, CODELCO negotiated 18 collective bargaining agreements. Twelve collective bargaining
agreements, covering a total of 7,081 employees at the Andina Division, Salvador Division, Mina Ministro Hales
Division, El Teniente Division and Gabriela Mistral Division, were negotiated ahead of schedule without any
conflicts or work stoppages. Five collective bargaining agreements, covering a total of 2,601 employees at the
Radomiro Tomic Division, Mina Ministro Hales Division, Chuquicamata Division and our headquarters, were
negotiated on schedule without any conflicts or work stoppages. The remaining collective bargaining agreement was
reached at the conclusion of the 39-day strike with the workers from the Andina Division.
CODELCO has experienced material work slowdowns, work stoppages and strikes in the past.
In July 2015, the Copper Workers Confederation (the “CTC”) organized an illegal 22-day strike that
primarily affected the Salvador Division and, to a lesser extent, the Mina Ministro Hales Division. In August 2015,
the CTC, AGEMA and CODELCO, in its role as facilitator, agreed to a protocol for the commencement of a
dialogue. Since then, there have been additional conversations, none of which have resulted in a review or extension
of the existing agreement, as intended by CTC. There can be no assurance that further work slowdowns or
stoppages with the CTC will not occur in the future.
As of June 30, 2019, there were 36,430 employees of regular independent operating contractors and
21,375 employees of contractors involved in the development of CODELCO*s investment projects.
Work slowdowns, stoppages and other labor-related events could increase CODELCO”s independent
contracting costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of CODELCO. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO’”s Operations—Labor
disruptions involving CODELCO”s employees or the employees of its independent contractors could affect
CODELCOSs production levels and costs.” In addition, pursuant to the Labor Code of Chile, CODELCO could be
held liable for the payment of labor and social security obligations owed to the employees of independent
contractors (or their subcontractors) if the independent contractors (or their subcontractors) do not fulfill those
payment obligations. CODELCO has agreed with a Government of Chile agency to provide a framework to
facilitate this agency”s supervision of the labor and social security obligations owed by the independent contractors
to their employees.
As part of its compensation plan, CODELCO offers each employee the opportunity to partially finance the
purchase of a first home or to obtain other personal loans granted through each employee”s severance plan. Such
home loans have a term of up to 15 years, and such personal loans have a term of less than one year. Loans of both
kinds provide for interest rates of actual inflation plus a margin of between 1% and 5%. As of June 30, 2019, an
aggregate principal amount of U.S.$195 million of these loans was outstanding.

Chile Law No. 20,123 of 2007 (the “Chile Subcontracting Law”) governing subcontractors provides
incentives for companies to ensure that contractors and subcontractors comply with labor, health and safety
regulations and standards with respect to their own employees. The Chile Subcontracting Law gives companies the
right to request that contractors provide information on the status of their payment of labor and social security
obligations to their employees prior to the company”s payment of amounts due to contractors. Additionally,
companies have the right to withhold payments due if the contractors cannot provide evidence that they have
fulfilled their labor and social security obligations. Finally, companies are required to pay contractors” pending
labor and social security obligations with the amounts withheld from the contractors. It also regulates the provision
of temporary services by contractors and subcontractors, enabling the creation of specialized and regulated
companies for this specific purpose (Empresas de Servicios Transitorios) and defining the specific events under
which companies may hire for temporary services.
Occupational Health and Safety
CODELCO, through its structural project on occupational safety and health, has established occupational
health and safety performance indicators aimed at avoiding serious and fatal accidents and occupational illnesses. In
2018, there were four fatalities involving CODELCO personnel and CODELCO contractors. In 2019, there has
been one fatality involving CODELCO personnel. CODELCO is currently investigating the cause of this fatality.
The total number of “lost time” accidents in 2018 was 122 and the accident frequency rate was 0.86
accidents per million hours worked. During 2019, the current total number of “lost time” accidents is 62 and the
accident frequency is 0.76 accidents per million hours worked.
Comptroller General of the Republic
During 2017, the Comptroller issued three declarations (Opinions No. 15.759 and No. 18.850, both from
2017, and Final Auditor Report (Informe Final de Auditoria) No. 900/2016, from a 2016 audit) that affect
CODELCO. Two of these declarations are opinions related to labor relations that: (i) query whether CODELCO
could provide greater benefits to its employees than those currently established by law and (ii) state that, although
CODELCO may continue to engage in collective bargaining with its employees, the Comptroller reserves the right
to evaluate the amounts agreed upon. The third declarations was the result of an audit report, which maintained that
CODELCO was subject to the provisions of the Public Procurement Law (Law No. 19,886) that relates to: (1) the
prohibition on contracts between related parties and (ii) the mandatory public tender of contracts through the rules
that apply to public services. CODELCO has filed administrative appeals against all three declarations issued, and
subsequently filed an action of annulment against the three declarations issued by the Comptroller. Although
CODELCO does not question the competence of the Comptroller, CODELCO disputes the standard on which the
Comptroller is basing its conclusions. As of the date of this prospectus, CODELCO has estimated a negative effect
of approximately U.S.$100 million due to a reduction in production related to the delay in awarding specific
contracts and the delay of investments. A final decision regarding this matter is pending.
Legal Proceedings
CODELCO is involved in various pending legal actions initiated by or against the Company. These
lawsuits are inherent to the nature of the environment in which CODELCO develops its mining, industrial and
commercial activities.
In November 2015 and November 2016, CODELCO initiated a legal proceeding against a tax resolution of
the SIT seeking a rebate of approximately U.S.$9 million and U.S.$3 million in connection with the rejection of
certain expenses related to derivative agreements executed in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013. In August 2019, the
Santiago Court of Appeals issued a final decision in favor of CODELCO, discarding all of the SIP’s claims and
rendering the SIPs resolution null and void. The SII may appeal the decision before the Supreme Court.
86
CODELCO has been subject to various proceedings in which workers and families of deceased workers
allege that working conditions caused the workers to contract silicosis. CODELCO has a provision related to each
of the claims detailed below:
. In September 2013, 24 former workers from the Andina Division and four families of deceased
workers initiated a civil proceeding for approximately U.S.$20 million. A final resolution was
issued in October 2017 granting the claimants a partial award which was subsequently appealed by
both claimants and defendant. In May 2019, the Supreme Court dismissed CODELCO”s appeal and
granted the claimants a final award of U.S.$800 thousand, bringing an end to this proceeding.
. In May 2017, 56 former workers from the El Salvador Division initiated a civil legal proceeding for
approximately U.S.$29.5 million. A final resolution was issued in September 2018 granting the
claimants an award of approximately U.S.$2.3 million which was subsequently appealed by both
claimants and defendant. A final decision is still pending.
In January 2016, the FESUC filed a labor claim accusing CODELCO of anti-union conduct for having
released 350 workers and claiming damages under several concepts that, in the aggregate, amount to approximately
U.S.$45 million. The proceedings are currently in the discovery period. A final ruling is pending.In March 2017,
two labor unions from Chuquicamata Division filed a labor claim accusing CODELCO of violating fundamental
labor rights and claiming payment of alleged overdue obligations that, in the aggregate, amount to approximately
U.S.$14.2 million. The proceedings were the subject matter of a first instance ruling in August 2017 dismissing the
claim. Subsequently, claimants appealed and, in November 2017, the Court of Appeals of Antofagasta upheld the
first instance ruling. Finally, the case was brought before the Supreme Court on final appeal and, in March 2018, the
Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the first instance ruling and bringing an end to this proceeding.
In April 2017, Sociedad Comercial IMS Ltda. filed a commercial claim against CODELCO requesting
specific performance of an alleged agreement to supply uniforms specially tailored for female workers, as well as
damages under several concepts that, in the aggregate, amount to approximately U.S.$14.2 million. The
proceedings are currently in the discovery period with certain evidence pending to be filed before the court. A final
ruling is still pending.
In May 2017, CODELCO and Minera Valle Aconcagua S.A. mutually decided to institute an arbitration
proceeding against each other in connection with an agreement to build and operate a tailings treatment facility and
treat tailings from CODELCO”s Andina Division. CODELCO has requested specific performance plus a charge for
power which, in the aggregate, amounts to approximately U.S.$16.1 million and alternatively has requested
termination of the agreement plus a charge for power which, in the aggregate, amounts to approximately U.S.$140
million. In turn, Minera Valle Aconcagua S.A. has requested termination of the agreement and damages in the
amount of approximately U.S.$79 million. To date, the proceedings have completed the discovery period. A ruling
was issued in September 2018 awarding Minera Valle Aconcagua S.A. approximately U.S.$43 million and awarding
CODELCO approximately U.S.$2 million. Both parties subsequently appealed the awards. In February 2019, the
parties reached a settlement whereby CODELCO paid Minera Valle Aconcagua S.A. U.S.$25 million, bringing this
proceeding to an end.
In March 2018, Eifel Ingeniería Eléctrica y Construcción Ltda. filed a civil claim against CODELCO
seeking specific performance of a service agreement for electric works at CODELCO”s Andina Division plus
damages which they claim to amount to approximately U.S.$11.1 million. The proceedings are in the initial stages
and have not yet reached the discovery period. A final ruling is still pending.
In April 2018, Trebol Minerals S.A. filed a civil claim against CODELCO”s El Salvador Division claiming
payment of unpaid services, damages, loss of profits and moral damages, plus interest thereon, all of which amounts
to approximately U.S.$12 million. The proceedings are in the initial stages and have not yet reached the discovery
period. A final ruling is still pending.
In July 2019, Ingeniería y Maquinarias Indak Limitada et al. filed a civil a claim against CODELCO
claiming payment of damages, loss of profits, loss of opportunities and moral damages, plus interest thereon,
87
amounting to approximately U.S.$46 million. The proceedings are in the initial stages and have not yet reached the
discovery period. A final ruling is still pending.
CODELCO believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims against it and, accordingly, is vigorously
defending its rights and interests in these proceedings.
For additional details related to CODELCO*s litigation and contingencies, see note 31 to the Unaudited
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Historically, copper prices have been subject to wide fluctuations and are affected by numerous factors,
including international economic and political conditions, levels of supply and demand, the availability and costs
of substitutes, inventory levels maintained by producers and others and actions of participants in the commodities
markets. To a lesser extent, copper prices are also subject to the effects of inventory carrying costs and currency
exchange rates. In addition, the market prices of copper have occasionally been subject to rapid short-term
changes. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO'”s Operations—CODELCO”s business is highly
dependent upon the price of copper.”
Opportunities for Copper
Since 2005, copper prices have experienced significant volatility. LME copper prices averaged 295.9
cents per pound in 2018, compared to 279.9 cents per pound in 2017 and 220.6 cents per pound in 2016. While
lower copper prices in 2016 reflect the global volatility, the European crisis and the fears regarding China, the
recovery in 2018 and 2017 reflects disruptions on the supply side, higher expectations in China and increased
global demand. Global demand for copper in 2017 increased by 2.2%, including a 4.5% demand increase from
China. In 2018 demand for copper is estimated that increased 2.8%, including a 5.3% demand growth from China.
Copper demand remains strong, particularly in Asia, despite the geopolitical, trade and other global uncertainties
during 2018. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations —CODELCOS*s business is highly
dependent upon the price of copper.”
There is also increased general use of copper tubing, particularly in air conditioning systems. The
quantity of copper consumed in electrical applications in cars, trains and other vehicles has also increased. In the
electricity generation and transmission area, the control of energy losses and a growing concern for higher energy
efficiency are factors that have tended to increase demand for copper, becoming the main copper usage. The
termination of widespread substitution of aluminum for copper in overhead high-voltage transmission lines also
bodes well for the metal”s future.
Historically, demand and supply of copper have demonstrated continued growth during periods of
oversupply as well as periods of overconsumption. The following graph shows the historical development of
copper supply, demand and stocks in the world from 2000 through 2018 (in thousands of metric tons):

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Overview of the Regulatory Regime
CODELCO is a mining, industrial and commercial state-owned enterprise of indefinite duration with its
own legal personality and capital. CODELCOS*s relationship with the Government of Chile is conducted through
the Ministry of Mining. CODELCO was incorporated pursuant to Decree Law 1,350 of 1976, as amended by
Law 20,392, published in the Official Gazette on November 14, 2009, and effective as of March 1, 2010.
CODELCO is governed by Decree Law 1,350 and by Decree 146 of August 12, 1991, as amended (to conform the
same with Law 20,392) by Decree No. 3 of January 13, 2012 issued jointly by the Ministries of Finance and
Mining, and published in the Official Gazette on July 4, 2012, which sets forth CODELCO”s current bylaws, and
the general legal framework applicable to private companies regarding public disclosure (rules applicable to
publicly held companies), and other applicable regulations. CODELCO’s principal corporate purpose is to
exercise all rights acquired by Chile pursuant to the nationalization of the Chilean mining industry, namely
mining, exploration and the development of mining deposits and other rights belonging to Chile at the time of
CODELCOSs incorporation in 1976.
Principally, the amendments to Decree Law 1,350 contained in Law 20.392: (i) introduce best corporate
governance practices in conformity with recommendations made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development to CODELCO”s legal framework; (ii) make applicable the provisions of Law 18,046, (the
“Corporations Law”), to CODELCO; and (iii) vest in the President of Chile the authority and prerogatives
afforded to the shareholders of a corporation (sociedad anónima) under Chilean law, who may delegate such
authority to the Ministries of Finance and Mining, jointly. In addition, the amendments introduced significant
changes to the structure, designation and authority of the Board of Directors of CODELCO: (i) there are no longer
board member positions for the Ministers of Finance and Mining, nor for a representative of the armed forces;
(11) directors must (a) hold a professional degree granted by a State-run or State-recognized university or college or
by an equivalent foreign university and (b) have at least five years” working experience as board members,
managers, administrators or main executives at public or private companies; (iii) directors representing the
workers and foremen are no longer appointed directly by the President of Chile, but rather are appointed by the
President of Chile from short-lists presented by the FTC and both the FESUC and the ANSCO, respectively; and
(iv) directors are subject to the rules governing the rights, obligations, responsibilities and prohibitions established
in the Corporations Law.
CODELCO is subject to the supervision of: (i) the Chilean securities authority, the CMF, on the same
terms as publicly held corporations (CODELCO is registered under the Securities Registry No. 785 of the CMF)
and (ii) the Chilean Commission of Copper (Comisión Chilena del Cobre, or “COCHILCO”) or the governmental
agencies that, among other authorities, are responsible for examining the compliance with certain regulations
applicable to CODELCOSs activities and report the relevant findings to its Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore,
other government agencies in charge of specific areas, such as taxes and customs, exercise their legal authorities
with respect to CODELCO as they do in regard to any other company of the Chilean private sector. The Lower
House (Cámara de Diputados) of the Chilean Congress also maintains an overarching authority to oversee
CODELCO in the exercise of its constitutional duties.
Chilean law requires CODELCO to obtain the approval of the Ministry of Finance before it can assume
any financial indebtedness and before it can acquire assets outside Chile with financial or payment terms
exceeding one year. Although CODELCO is 100% owned by it, the Government of Chile is not legally liable for
CODELCOSs obligations unless expressly guaranteed by the Government of Chile, nor do such obligations form
any part of the direct public debt of the Government of Chile. A constitutional amendment would be required to
allow private participation in CODELCO”s ownership.
Each year, the Board of Directors must approve the BDP report of the Company for the following
three years, subject to the approval of the Ministries of Finance and Mining. This plan must include the annual
investment and financing amounts in addition to the annual profits that the Company is estimated to generate
during the period. The Ministries of Finance and Mining jointly issue a decree pursuant to which a portion of
CODELCOSs profit may be allocated by CODELCO to the creation of capitalization and reserve funds.
92
CODELCO”s Board of Directors must also submit its proposed annual budget to the Ministries of
Finance and Mining for approval. In addition, Decree Law 1,350 requires CODELCO to include as part of its
proposed annual budget a debt amortization budget that includes interest and principal payments on CODELCO”s
debts, including the notes. CODELCO”s budget and financial statements are subject to both internal and external
controls. CODELCO”s Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring its operations, and CODELCO retains
independent auditors to audit its consolidated financial statements and an internal comptroller to review its
finances, accounting and administration.
CODELCO”s Board of Directors approved corporate governance guidelines consistent with its high
transparency, probity and accountability standards which: (i) establish limits and controls on the use of resources
of the Board of Directors; (ii) implement a transparent and traceable system for the handling of hiring requests,
promotions and redundancies of CODELCO”s officers and employees; (iii) regulate the relationships between
members and management of the Board of Directors with related parties; and (iv) establish guidelines for
corporate speakers. CODELCO”s Board of Directors also agreed to consider directives that: (i) regulate lobbying
activities within CODELCO, (ii) strengthen and reform internal audit systems; and (iii) strengthen policies to
avoid any conflicts of interest.
Mining Regulations
Legal framework. CODELCO”s exploration, mining, milling, smelting and refining activities are subject
to Chilean laws and regulations which are generally applicable to all Chilean companies in the mining sector. The
legal framework which regulates CODELCO as a holder of mining concessions is contained in the Chile”s
Constitution, the Constitutional Law Governing Mining Concessions (Law 18,097 of January 21, 1982) and the
Mining Code (Law 18,248 of October 14, 1983). Under Chilean mining law, Chile is the owner of all mineral and
fossil substances, regardless of who owns the surface land in which such substances are located. Private persons
and companies may obtain mining concessions for exploration and exploitation. These concessions are granted by
judicial resolutions in accordance with the Mining Code.
Mining concessions are transferable, mortgageable and irrevocable and regulated by the same civil law
that regulates real estate rights generally. Generally, the owner of a mining concession may occupy as much of the
surface land as is necessary for mining activities upon the creation of a mining easement or upon other
authorization given by the land owner, such as a lease agreement or a license. Mining easements can be obtained
by way of direct negotiation with the surface land owner or, if the latter opposes, by way of a summary procedure
before the relevant court. Regardless of how the mining easement is obtained, the party granting the easement is
entitled to compensation should the mining activities and works caused by the owner of the mining concession
cause damage. Exploitation concessions have an indefinite duration. Exploration concessions are granted for
two years and may be extended for a maximum of two additional years subject to waiving at least half of the area
originally allocated. Prior to the expiration of the first or the second two-year period, exploration concessions can
be converted to exploitation concessions. If they are not so converted, the exploration concession terminates.
Owners of mining concessions must pay an annual fee equivalent to approximately U.S.$1.3 per hectare
in the case of exploration concessions and approximately U.S.$6.0 per hectare in the case of exploitation
concessions. However, the latter fees, within certain limits, may be credited to income taxes originated through
the exploitation of the concession. Payments of the annual fees must be made in March of each year. Failure to
make the annual fee payments may result in the loss of title to the concession through its auction.
CODELCO owns mining concessions granted by the Constitution and the Chilean Ordinary Courts for its
exploration and exploitation operations. Some of these concessions were previously held by foreign private
mining companies before being transferred to Chile in 1971 and subsequently to CODELCO upon its
incorporation in 1976. CODELCO*s principal concessions are those which give rights to the mineral deposits of
the Chuquicamata, El Teniente, Andina, Salvador, Radomiro Tomic, Gabriela Mistral and Mina Ministro Hales
Divisions. CODELCO”s concessions relating to land that is currently being mined essentially grant an indefinite
right to conduct mining operations in that land, provided that annual concession fees are paid. In 2018,
CODELCO paid total concession fees of U.S.$7.5 million. As of June 30, 2019, CODELCO has paid U.S.$8.4
million in total concession fees for 2019.
93
Pursuant to the Mining Code, all mining concessions, as well as certain raw materials, assets and other
property permanently dedicated to the exploration or extraction of minerals cannot be subject, except in extremely
limited circumstances, to an order of attachment. In addition, pursuant to the Constitution, mining concessions
corresponding to mining deposits exploited by CODELCO upon its incorporation in 1976 cannot be subject to
attachment nor to any act of disposition by CODELCO. As a result, the rights of holders to attach property of
CODELCO in the event of a default under the notes would be limited by such provisions. See “Risk Factors—
Risks Relating to the Offering—In case of a default under the notes, the ability of holders to attach property of
CODELCO may be limited by Chilean law.”
Environmental Regulations
CODELCOS”s operations are subject to national, regional and local regulations as well as international
treaties subscribed by the Government of Chile and enacted as Chilean domestic law regarding the protection of
the environment, natural resources and the effect of the environment on human health and safety, including laws
and regulations concerning water, air and noise pollution, the handling, disposal and transportation of hazardous
waste and occupational health and safety.
The General Environmental Law (Law No. 19,300), enacted in March 1994 and modified by Law No.
20,417, enacted in 2010, establishes the general environmental legal framework in Chile, including the
establishment of a range of environmental management mechanisms known as the Environmental Impact
Assessment System (Sistema de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental), the Emission Standards and the
Environmental Quality Standards, among others. Chilean environmental laws and regulations, and the
enforcement thereof, have become increasingly stringent since 2010 and even more due to recent changes. Such
amendments include, among other significant modifications, the creation of a new institutional framework
comprised by: (i) the Ministry of the Environment (Ministerio del Medio Ambiente); (ii) the Council of Ministers
for Sustainability (Consejo de Ministros para la Sustentabilidad), (iii) the Environmental Assessment Service
(Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental); (iv) the Bureau of the Environment (Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente);
and (v) the Environmental Courts (Tribunales Ambientales), each of which are in charge of designing, evaluating
and enforcing laws and regulations relating to projects and activities that could have an environmental impact.
These institutions are fully operational. Recent legal and regulatory changes are likely to impose additional
restrictions or costs on CODELCO and also increased fines due to non-compliance with such laws and regulations,
relating to environmental litigation and protection of the environment, particularly those related to flora and fauna,
wildlife protected areas, water quality standards, mine closure, air emissions, and soil pollution. Since the Bureau
of the Environment became fully operational on December 28, 2012, infringement of environmental regulations
may result in fines of up to approximately U.S.$8.7 million, the closure of facilities and the revocation of
environmental approvals. As described in more detail below, CODELCO incurs, and may be required in the
future to incur, substantial capital and operating costs related to environmental compliance. However, many of
these costs are inextricably intertwined with the operation of CODELCO*s business as a whole.
The General Environmental Law, as complemented by additional regulations, enables the Government of
Chile to: (i) bring administrative and judicial proceedings against companies that violate environmental laws;
(ii) close non-complying facilities; (iii) revoke required operating licenses; (iv) require that companies to submit
their projects for environmental evaluation as required by applicable law; and (v) impose sanctions and fines when
companies act negligently, recklessly or deliberately in connection with environmental matters. The General
Environmental Law also grants citizens the right to bring civil actions against companies that are not in
compliance with environmental laws and regulations when such companies have caused “environmental damage,”
as defined in such law, after such non-compliance has been established by a judicial proceeding. As of the date of
this prospectus, one of these proceedings involves CODELCO, for an action brought by citizens against all the
companies that operates in the Ventanas area and the Ministry of the Environment. CODELCO is unable to fully
assess at this time the potential cost of compliance.
In 2016, the Bureau of the Environment presented claims against the Ventanas Division for the
infringement of environmental regulations and permits. In response, CODELCO presented a Compliance Plan
(Programa de Cumplimiento), which allows the Ventanas Division to comply with the Bureau of the
Environment’s requirements in a specified term and once successfully executed it may absolve the infringer from
fines or sanctions. This Compliance Plan was approved by the Bureau of the Environment in 2016 and is under
implementation by CODELCO. In 2017 the Environmental Court required a complement of this plan to include
94
the evaluation of possible environmental consequences. CODELCO has presented the required information to the
Bureau of the Environment to comply with this requirement and a final decision is pending.
In 2016, the Bureau of the Environment also required information about the El Teniente Division due to
the potential violation of environmental permits, to which CODELCO responded.
Additionally, citizens affected by environmental pollution may file a petition for relief to Chilean Courts
of Appeal, requiring the suspension of the offending activity and the adoption of protective measures through the
judicial process called recurso de protección (constitutional protection action).
If determined that CODELCO violated its environmental permits, the Bureau of the Environment could
impose a fine on CODELCO and could require CODELCO to implement environmental compensation and
mitigation measures. There can be no assurance that the Bureau of the Environment will not impose additional
fines or require that additional measures be taken. As of the date of this prospectus, CODELCO has not assessed a
potential loss as probable or such loss is not estimable.
The General Environmental Law and its regulations contain certain rules on Environmental Impact
Assessment, which have been in effect since April 1997, and that provide that CODELCO must evaluate the
environmental impact of any future project or activity listed in article 10 of Law 19,300 by means of an
environmental impact declaration or an environmental impact study depending on the significance of the
environmental impacts associated. CODELCO has conducted these environmental impact declarations and studies
pursuant to the General Environmental Law.
Chile has adopted environmental regulations requiring companies operating in Chile, including
CODELCO, to undertake programs to reduce, control and/or eliminate certain environmental impacts.
CODELCO has undertaken a number of environmental initiatives to comply with such regulations. From 2008 to
2018, CODELCO invested U.S.$2,988 million in projects, and plans to continue implementing pollution
abatement plans through additional capital investments amounting to U.S.$1,021 million from 2019 through 2020.
In 2018, CODELCO allocated U.S.$861 million to environmental projects, including the expansion of the Talabre,
Ovejería and Carén Tailings dams in the Chuquicamata, Andina and El Teniente Divisions and various projects in
Chuquicamata, Potrerillos and Caletones smelters in order to comply with the new regulation regarding
atmospheric emissions. Additionally, as part of its pollution abatement efforts, CODELCO continues to implement
water recovery systems, the costs of which are also budgeted in CODELCO’s pollution abatement plan, to
conserve resources and minimize pollution of natural water sources.
To protect and improve environmental air quality in the country, the Ministry of the Environment has the
authority to declare certain areas to be “latent zones” (zonas latentes) or “saturated zones” (zonas saturadas).
Latent zones are areas in which there exists a high risk of excessive pollution — the pollutant concentration in air
water or soil is greater than 80% of the corresponding quality standard in a certain area — and in which further
emissions are highly restricted. Saturated zones are areas in which an excessive level of pollution already has been
reached — the concentration of the air pollutant exceeds 100% of the corresponding quality standard for a pollutant
in a certain area — and in which emissions are required to be reduced and mitigation measures are required to be
implemented. In connection with the declaration of a latent or saturated zone, the Ministry of the Environment
may initiate an investigation and public-consultation process to develop a prevention or decontamination plan, as
the case may be. The whole process for approving these plans may take more than two years. Upon publication of
either type of plan, emission reduction targets and other environmental remediation actions may be required of
specific industries located within the latent or saturated zone. Measures included in the pollution prevention or
reduction plans governing CODELCO”s operations are subject to change and may become more stringent if
compliance with applicable air quality standards is not achieved.
The area surrounding the Potrerillos, Caletones and Ventanas smelting facilities have been declared
saturated zones for particulate matter (PM1o and/or MP»5) and sulfur dioxide (SO»). These areas are subject to
decontamination plans. The Ventanas decontamination plan has been recently reviewed by government authorities.
In the areas surrounding the Chuquicamata smelter, there are decontamination plans for PM1o under review and
under development, and a pollution prevention plan for SO» is currently under development. In August 2013, the
95
Ministry of the Environment enacted a decontamination plan for Chile”s Sixth Region, Central Valley, which
could potentially affect CODELCO”s operations in the region.
In addition, the relevant Environmental Assessment Service may impose further requirements on
CODELCOSs projects. Under the various plans that cover the areas where CODELCO operates, net increases in
emissions by industrial facilities in these zones, including any increased emissions from the Potrerillos, Caletones,
Ventanas and Chuquicamata smelting plants, have been banned. As of the date of this prospectus, the impact of
operating in latent and saturated zones has not been material for CODELCO; however, it could have a material
effect in the future.
A new air quality standard for an additional pollutant, primary particulate matter PM)5, was enacted by
the Ministry of the Environment in 2011 and became effective in 2012. In 2015, a new saturated zone with respect
to PM»s and latent zone with respect to PM10 in the boroughs of Concón, Quintero and Puchuncavi, the areas
where Ventanas is located, was declared and, as a result, a new decontamination plan has been recently enacted.
CODELCO estimates that the cost of complying with this new standard will be U.S.$27 million, which will be
incurred over a period of approximately four years.
In 2013, Supreme Decree No. 28 of the Ministry of the Environment, on Emission Standard for Smelting
Plants was enacted, which establishes maximum parameters of emission for PM¡o, SO, arsenic (As) and mercury
(Hg) generated by smelting plants. Certain aspects of the regulation became effective immediately while other
provisions of the new emission standards must be complied with by a later date—within three years in the case of
Ventanas smelter, and within five years in Chuquicamata, Potrerillos and Caletones smelters. CODELCO has
preliminarily estimated that the cost of complying with this new standard will be U.S.$2.0 billion, which will be
incurred over a period of approximately five years and which started in 2014, but the full cost will be determined
when all the necessary engineering projects to ensure compliance are finished and implemented. Such additional
costs could also be material.
Supreme Decree No.90/2001 of the General Secretary of the Presidency, which sets forth the standards
for discharges of liquid waste into surface water bodies, went into effect in 2006. CODELCO has invested
significant amounts to reduce liquid waste emissions to date and expects that it will continue to incur costs related
to compliance with Supreme Decree No. 90/2001. In addition, the authorities are developing water quality
standards for water bodies that CODELCO currently or may in the future discharge into, including the Loa,
Aconcagua and Cachapoal rivers. Such standards could require CODELCO to incur additional costs to manage
liquid waste discharges.
Regulations were enacted in February 2004 governing safety standards for mining operations. Pursuant
to these regulations, all mining companies, including CODELCO, were required to provide closure plans for their
mining facilities, demonstrating compliance with safety standards. These plans must be updated every five years
and must consider the requirements set forth in the environmental authorization issued for the respective facility, if
any. SERNAGEOMIN has approved the closure plans CODELCO prepared for all of its facilities.
A new mine closure regulation, Law No. 20,551, which includes health, safety and environmental
requirements along with mandatory provisions that require financial guarantees, was enacted in 2011, and became
effective in 2012. According to this law, CODELCO and other mining companies in Chile were required to submit
an assessment of the closure expenses of all its mines to the SERNAGEOMIN before 2014. Once the assessment
of closure expenses was approved, CODELCO had to provide the financial guarantee between the sixth months
since the approval and two-thirds of the project life (less than 20 years), or 15 years of the project life (more than
20 years). CODELCO obtained the approval of the closure plans for all of its Divisions from SERNAGEOMIN
and provided the financial guarantees in the term established by the law. CODELCO had total provisions
amounting to U.S.$1.6 billion for future decommissioning and site restoration costs primarily related to tailing
dams, closures of mine operations and other mining assets, including potential new governmental regulations, at
December 31, 2018, and U.S.$1.5 billion at June 30, 2019. CODELCO is currently developing a project to
estimate the additional costs of complying with this new regulation regarding mine closure, which could be
material.
96
On February 4, 2018, the Environmental Court (Tribunal Ambiental) in Antofagasta, Chile issued an
interim decision which could potentially reduce the availability of a minor source of water to CODELCO in the
city of Calama. As of the date of this prospectus, CODELCO: (i) is not a party to this legal proceeding; and (ii) has
not been contacted by any party or served by the Environmental Court. If and when CODELCO becomes a party
to this proceeding, CODELCO expects to: (a) enforce all its available legal remedies against any adverse decision;
and (b) implement operational mitigation measures, if necessary.
Future legislative or regulatory developments, private causes of action or the discovery of new facts
relating to environmental matters may impose new restrictions or result in additional costs that may have a
material adverse effect on CODELCO'”s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. See
“Risk Factors—Risks Relating to CODELCO”s Operations—CODELCO”s compliance with environmental, health
and safety laws may require increased costs, including capital commitments, and non-compliance may subject it to
significant penalties.”
Enforceability of Obligations
CODELCO”s commercial obligations are enforceable in the same manner as those of any privately
owned company in Chile. Even though CODELCO is a state-owned enterprise, it is subject to the same laws and
regulations applicable to all private Chilean corporations. This principle is consistent with the constitution of
1980, wherein Article 19, No. 21 states that if Chile and its bodies carry out commercial activities, they will be
governed by common legislation applicable to private persons, unless a specific law approved by an absolute
majority of representatives of the Chilean Congress dictates otherwise. No such law has been passed with respect
to CODELCO.
Payment of Obligations
Article 23 of Decree Law 1,350 provides that CODELCO has the obligation to return the total proceeds
of its exports to Chile, but has no obligation to convert the proceeds to Chilean pesos in excess of its peso
requirements. The proceeds from its exports are deposited at the Central Bank of Chile, and withdrawals against
such foreign exchange deposits are made to cover CODELCO’s expenses. In addition, Article 13 of
Decree Law 1,350 directs CODELCO to prepare a Loan Amortization Budget which must include the payment of
principal of CODELCO”s debts and related interest payments, including the notes. This budget, as part of the
general budget of CODELCO, is approved annually by joint decree of the Ministry of Mining and the Ministry of
Finance and may be amended to meet non-budgeted expenses. The incurrence of any indebtedness by CODELCO
must be authorized by an official letter from the Ministry of Finance. For loans with maturity at issuance of a
duration of more than one year, this authorization is required to commence the relevant procedures.
Statutory Documents
The statutory documents of CODELCO are contained in Decree Law 1,350 published in the Official
Gazette on February 28, 1976, as amended by Law 20,392 published in the Official Gazette on
November 14, 2009, and Decree 146 published in the Official Gazette on October 25, 1991, as amended (to
conform the same with Law 20,392) by Decree No. 3 of January 13, 2012 issued jointly by the Ministries of
Finance and Mining, published in the Official Gazette on July 4, 2012. These gazettes may be seen on-line on the
Library of the Chilean Congress website (http://www.bcn.cl/) or in a booklet that CODELCO will issue upon
request, which contains free translations of the regulations into English.

MANAGEMENT
The Board of Directors is primarily responsible for the management and administration of CODELCO.
The Board of Directors is composed of nine members, appointed as set forth in Law 20.392, enacted on
November 4, 2009: (i) three directors are directly appointed by the President of Chile; (ii) four directors are
appointed by the President of Chile from a short-list presented by the Council of Senior Public Management
(Consejo de la Alta Dirección Pública), an entity within the National Civil Service Bureau that advises the
President of Chile, ministers and heads of services departments on the appointment of high-ranking public
positions; (ii) one director is appointed by the President of Chile from a short-list presented by the FTC; and
(iv) one director is appointed by the President of Chile from a short-list presented by both the FESUC and
ANSCO. All directors in CODELCO serve four year terms and may be reelected for new terms. The Board is
renewed on a staggered basis and may not be revoked in its entirety.
The Board of Directors is vested with all the management and asset-disposal authority, except to the
extent that Chilean law or CODELCO’”s bylaws establish such authority within the exclusive province of the

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of its business, CODELCO engages in a variety of transactions on arm”s-length
terms with certain related parties. For information regarding these transactions, see note 3 to the Audited Annual
Consolidated Financial Statements and note 3 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
In its dealings with Cyprus El Abra Corporation (a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc.), the partner in
SCM El Abra, CODELCO acts through a subsidiary, as agent. CODELCO does not sell copper to Nordeutsche
Affinerie Group, its partner in Deutsche Giessradht GmbH.
Pursuant to Article 147 of the Corporations Law, CODELCO may only enter into operations with related
parties if its intent is to benefit the corporate interest, if its price, terms and conditions are consistent with those
prevailing in the market when approved, and if it follows certain requirements and procedures established by the
law.
According to Article 146 of the Corporations Law, as amended, “operations with related parties” of
CODELCO include any and all negotiations, acts, contracts or operations in which the Company must take part, as
well as:
(1) one or more related persons to the Company, pursuant to the definition contained in Article 100
of Law 18.045 (the “Securities Market Law,” as amended);
(1) a board member, manager, a main executive or a liquidator of CODELCO, acting directly or on
behalf of any persons other than the Company, or their respective spouses or relatives up to the
second degree (consanguinity or affinity);
(ii) a corporation or partnership in which one of the persons mentioned in (ii) above are direct or
indirect owners of 10% or more of its capital, board members, managers or main executives;
(iv) those persons specifically established under the CODELCO”s bylaws or reasonably identified by
the Directors” Committee, as applicable, even if the transaction with such persons (a) is not of a
relevant amount, (b) is conducted on a regular basis (as per the regularity policy determined by
the Board of Directors of CODELCO) or (c) is entered into with a subsidiary of CODELCO in
which the Company holds a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 95%; and
(v) any company in which a board member, manager or main executive of CODELCO has served as
a board member, manager, main executive or liquidator, during the last 18 months.
Article 100 of the Securities Market Law provides that the following persons constitute a related party:
(i) the other entities of the business conglomerate to which a company belongs; (ii) parents, subsidiaries and
equity-method investors and investees of a company; (iii) all directors, managers, officers and liquidators of a
company, and their spouses or blood relatives to the second degree, or any entity controlled, directly or indirectly,
by any of the abovementioned individuals; (iv) any person that, by their own actions or with other persons under a
joint action agreement, may appoint at least one member of the management of a company or controls 10% or
more of the capital or voting capital of a stock company; and (v) other entities or persons deemed a related party
by the CMF.
The rules, requirements and procedures to approve operations with related parties apply both to the
operations of CODELCO as well as to those of its subsidiaries, regardless of their legal nature, except for some
exemptions set forth in Article 147 of the Corporations Law in which related-party transaction may be executed
without the requirements referred to above, with the prior approval of the Board of Directors.
The breach of any of the restrictions on related party transactions will not affect the validity of the
transaction. However, CODELCO or the President of Chile may demand from the breaching party, the
reimbursement for an amount equivalent to the benefits gained by the breaching party resulting from the
102
transaction. Additionally, CODELCO or the President of Chile may claim damages. Finally, the breaching party
bears the burden of proof that the transaction was carried out according to the law.
CODELCOSs policy for transactions with related parties is defined and governed by a specific internal
regulation created pursuant to general policies established by the Board of Directors and in connection with the
guidance provided by Decree Law 1,350 and the Corporations Law. CODELCO’s internal regulation prescribes
the manner in which transactions between CODELCO and related entities must be carried out and provides for
sanctions if the requirements of the regulation are not met.

FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS IN CHILE
As a general matter, the Central Bank of Chile is, among other things, responsible for monetary policies
and for exchange controls in Chile. Most Chilean companies must inform the Central Bank of any international
issue of bonds and if the proceeds of the issuance are not left abroad, should be brought into Chile through a bank
or other participant in the Formal Exchange Market. Article 23 of Decree Law 1,350 provides that CODELCO
has an obligation to return the total proceeds of its exports to Chile, but has no obligation to convert such proceeds
to Chilean pesos beyond its peso requirements. These proceeds from its exports are deposited at the Central Bank
of Chile, and withdrawals against such foreign exchange deposits are made to cover CODELCO”s expenses. Asa
result, CODELCO does not require foreign exchange approval in connection with the issuance or placement of, or
payments upon the notes. See “Regulatory Framework—Payment of Obligations.”
104
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February S, 20109,
between CODELCO, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, paying agent, transfer agent and registrar (the
“trustee”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, Luxembourg Branch, as Luxembourg paying agent, as further
amended and supplemented from time to time.
The following description of certain provisions of the notes and of the indenture is subject to and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the notes and the indenture, copies of which will be
available for inspection at the office of the trustee at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7 East, New York, New York
10286. CODELCO urges you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as
holders of the notes issued under the indenture.
General
The notes will be issued by CODELCO, and CODELCO will be liable therefor and obligated to perform
all covenants and agreements to be performed by CODELCO pursuant to the notes and the indenture, including
the obligations to pay principal, interest and Additional Amounts (as defined below under “Payment of Additional
Amounts”), if any. The trustee under the indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon (the “trustee,” which term
shall include any successor trustee under the indenture).
The indenture provides for the issuance by CODELCO from time to time of notes in one or more series
up to an aggregate principal amount of notes as from time to time may be authorized by CODELCO, subject to all
required government authorizations. Notes having the same date of maturity and Interest Payment Dates (as
defined below), payable in the same currency, bearing interest at the same rate and the terms of which are
otherwise identical, are referred to as a “series.”
The notes will bear interest at the applicable rate per annum set forth on the applicable Final Terms from
the date of issuance or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been
paid or provided for. Interest on the notes will be payable in accordance with the applicable Final Terms or, if any
such date is not a Business Day (as defined below), on the next succeeding Business Day (each such date, an
“Interest Payment Date”) to the person or persons (each, a “Holder”) in whose name such notes are registered in
the Security Register (as defined below). The record dates relating to the Interest Payment Dates for the notes will
be set forth in the Indenture. Interest on the notes will be calculated as indicated in the applicable Final Terms. For
the purposes hereof, the term “Business Day” means a day on which banks in The City of New York are not
authorized or required by law or executive order to be closed.
Moneys paid by CODELCO to the trustee or any paying agent for the payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any of the notes and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after the date on
which such principal (and premium, if any) or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity,
upon call for redemption or otherwise) shall, together with interest made available for payment thereof, be repaid
to CODELCO, whereupon all liability of the trustee or such paying agent with respect to such moneys shall cease.
The notes will mature the date set forth in the applicable Final Terms. The notes will not be redeemable
prior to maturity except as described below and in the event of certain developments affecting taxation, in that case
at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with any Additional Amounts and accrued
interest to the redemption date. On the maturity date of the notes, CODELCO will be required to pay 100% of the
then outstanding principal amount of the series of notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional
Amounts, if any.
Ranking
The notes will constitute direct, general, unsecured, unconditional and unsubordinated obligations of
CODELCO. The notes rank and will rank without any preference among them and equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of CODELCO, other than certain obligations granted preferential
treatment pursuant to Chilean law. It is understood that this provision will not be construed so as to require
CODELCO to make payments under the notes ratably with payments being made under any other obligations.
105
The indenture contains no restriction on the amount of additional indebtedness which may be incurred by
CODELCO or its subsidiaries; however, as set forth under “—Limitation on Liens” below, the indenture contains
certain restrictions on the ability of CODELCO and its subsidiaries to incur secured indebtedness.
Registration, Form and Delivery
The trustee will initially act as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar for the notes. The notes will be
issued upon the closing of this offering in definitive, fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations as
may be agreed between CODELCO and the dealer manager and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.. The
notes will be exchangeable, and transfers thereof will be registrable, at the office of the registrar for the notes
(including the office of the transfer and paying agent). No charge will be made to holders of the notes in
connection with any exchange or registration of transfer, but CODELCO may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in that connection.
The trustee will maintain at its office in the City of New York, currently located at 240 Greenwich Street,
Floor 7 East, New York, New York 10286, a security register (the “Security Register”) with respect to the notes.
The name and address of the registered Holder of each note and the amount of each note will be recorded in the
applicable Security Register, and the trustee and CODELCO may treat the person in whose name the note is
registered as the owner of such note for all purposes. For so long as the notes are represented by one or more
Global Notes, the registered owner of a Global Note, in accordance with the terms of the indenture, may be treated
at all times and for all purposes by CODELCO and the trustee as the sole owner with respect to such notes, with
respect to all payments on the notes and for all other purposes under the terms of the notes and the indenture.
The notes are being offered and sold in connection with the initial offering thereof solely in offshore
transactions to persons other than “U.S. persons,” as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, in reliance
on Regulation S. Following the initial offering of the notes, the notes may be resold to non-U.S. persons in
reliance on Regulation S and pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as described under “Transfer
Restrictions.”
The Global Notes
The notes offered and sold in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under
the Securities Act will initially be issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form (the “Global
Notes”), without interest coupons.
The notes will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer and will bear a restrictive legend as set forth
under “Transfer Restrictions.”
All interests in the Global Notes are subject to the procedures and requirements of Euroclear or
Clearstream.
Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the Global Notes on behalf of their participants through
customers” securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries.
Certificated Notes
Notes represented by a Global Note will be exchangeable for note certificates, registered in the names of
owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes, with the same terms and in authorized denominations, only if:
e the applicable depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer permitted under
applicable law to continue as depositary for that Global Note and CODELCO does not appoint
another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;
e we notify the trustee that CODELCO wishes to terminate that Global Note, or
+ an event of default has occurred with regard to the notes and has not been cured or waived.
106
In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Notes will be entitled to physical
delivery of the notes represented by the Global Notes equal in principal amount to that beneficial interest and to
have those notes registered in its name. The notes so issued will be in definitive registered form, in denominations
as specified by the applicable Final Terms. The notes so registered can be transferred by presentation for
registration of transfer to the transfer agent at its corporate trust office and must be duly endorsed by the holder or
his attorney duly authorized in writing or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to us or the trustee duly executed by the holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing. CODELCO
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of definitive notes.
Clearing Systems
Euroclear
Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for its participants and to clear and settle
transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment,
thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous
transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and
borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. All operations are conducted by Euroclear
Bank, S.A./N.V. and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with
Euroclear Bank, not the cooperative. The cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear
participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and
other professional financial intermediaries and may include the managers (“Euroclear participants”). Indirect
access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly.
Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with Euroclear Bank are governed by the Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and
applicable Belgian laws (collectively, the “Euroclear Terms and Conditions”). The Euroclear Terms and
Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from
Euroclear and receipts of payment with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a
fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. Euroclear Bank
acts under the Euroclear Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants and has no record of or
relationship with persons holding through Euroclear participants.
Distributions with respect to the notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash
accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with the Euroclear Terms and Conditions, to the extent received
by the Euroclear Bank and by Euroclear.
Clearstream
Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depository. Clearstream
holds securities for Clearstream participants and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions
between Clearstream participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream participants,
thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to its participants, among
other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities
and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream also deals with domestic securities markets in several countries.
As a professional depository, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute.
Clearstream participants are financial institutions around the world including underwriters, securities brokers and
dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the
managers. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream participant either directly or
indirectly.
Distributions with respect to the notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash
accounts of Clearstream participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by
Clearstream.
107
Euroclear and Clearstream Arrangements
So long as Euroclear or Clearstream or their nominee or their common depositary is the registered holder
of the Global Notes, Euroclear, Clearstream or such nominee or common depositary, as the case may be, will be
considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the
Indenture and the notes. Payments of principal, interest and additional amounts, if any, in respect of the Global
Notes will be made to Euroclear, Clearstream or such nominee or common depositary, as the case may be, as
registered holder thereof. None of us, the trustee, the managers or any affiliate of any of the forgoing or any person
by whom any of the above is controlled (as such term is defined in the Securities Act) will have any responsibility
or liability for any records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global
Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Distributions of principal and interest with respect to the Global Note will be credited in U.S. dollars to
the extent received by Euroclear or Clearstream from the trustee to the cash accounts of Euroclear or Clearstream
customers in accordance with the relevant system”s rules and procedures.
Because Euroclear and Clearstream can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of
indirect participants, the ability of a person having an interest in the Global Notes to pledge such interest to
persons or entities which do not participate in the relevant clearing system, or otherwise take actions in respect of
such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate in respect of such interest.
The holdings of book-entry interests in the Global Notes through Euroclear and Clearstream will be
reflected in the book-entry accounts of each such institution. As necessary, the registrar will adjust the amounts of
the Global Notes on the register for the accounts of the common depositary to reflect the amounts of notes held
through Euroclear and Clearstream, respectively.
Initial Settlement
Investors holding their notes through Euroclear or Clearstream accounts will follow the settlement
procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in registered form. Notes will be credited to the securities
custody accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream holders on the settlement date against payment for value on the
settlement date.
Covenants
CODELCO has agreed to restrictions on its activities for the benefit of holders of the notes. The following
restrictions will apply to the notes:
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Sale or Lease
Nothing contained in the indenture prevents CODELCO from consolidating with or merging into another
corporation or conveying, transferring or leasing its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person,
provided that: (i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which CODELCO is merged or the person
which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of CODELCO substantially as
an entirety is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Chile and expressly assumes, by supplemental
indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all
outstanding notes and the performance of every covenant in the indenture on the part of CODELCO to be
performed or observed; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Event of Default (as defined
below), and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have
happened and be continuing; and (iii) CODELCO has delivered to the trustee an officers” certificate and an
opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such
supplemental indenture complies with the foregoing provisions relating to such transaction.
Limitation on Liens
Nothing contained in the indenture restricts or prevents CODELCO or any Restricted Subsidiary (as
defined below) from incurring any additional indebtedness; provided that neither CODELCO nor any Restricted
108
Subsidiary will (i) issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed (“Debt”) if such Debt is
secured by a lien upon, or (ii) directly or indirectly secure any outstanding Debt by a lien upon, any Principal
Property (as defined below) or upon any shares of stock of, or indebtedness of, any Restricted Subsidiary, now
owned or hereafter acquired, without effectively providing that the notes shall be secured equally and ratably with
such Debt, except that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) liens on any Principal Property acquired,
constructed or improved after the date of issuance of the notes to secure or provide for the payment of the purchase
price or cost of construction or improvements (including costs such as increased costs due to escalation, interest
during construction and similar costs) thereof incurred after the date of the issuance of the notes, or existing liens
on property acquired, provided such liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by CODELCO or any
Restricted Subsidiary other than theretofore unimproved real property, (ii) liens on any Principal Property or
shares of stock or indebtedness acquired from a corporation merged with or into CODELCO or a Restricted
Subsidiary, (iii) liens to secure Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary to CODELCO or another Subsidiary, (iv) the sale
or other transfer of any interest in property of the character commonly referred to as a “production payment,”
(v) liens over any property at the time of acquisition of such property by CODELCO or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries which lien was not (or is not) created in connection with such acquisition, (vi) liens in existence on
the date of the offering of the notes, (vii) liens on deposits to secure, or any lien otherwise securing, the
performance of bids, statutory obligations, surety bonds, appeal bonds, performance bonds and other obligations of
a like nature incurred in the ordinary course of business, (viii) liens created on any property to secure Debt
incurred in connection with the financing of such property, the repayment of which Debt is to be made from the
revenues arising out of, or other proceeds of realization from, such property, with recourse to those revenues and
proceeds and other property used in connection with, or forming the subject matter of, such property, but without
recourse to any other property of CODELCO or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ix) any extension, renewal or
replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien referred to in the
foregoing clauses (i) to (iii) or (v), (vi) and (viii), inclusive of any Debt secured thereby, provided that the
principal amount of Debt so secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time
of such extension, renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or replacement lien shall be limited to
all or part of the property which secured the lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on or
additions to such property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, CODELCO and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries
may issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by liens which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing
restrictions in an aggregate principal amount which, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
all other Debt of CODELCO and its Restricted Subsidiaries that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing
restrictions (not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (ix) above) and the aggregate
value of the sale-and-lease-back transactions described under “—Limitation on Sale-and-Lease-Back
Transactions” below (other than sale-and-lease-back transactions the proceeds of which have been applied as
provided in clause (b) under “—Limitation on Sale-and-Lease-Back Transactions” below), does not at the time of
issuance, assumption or guarantee thereof exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. “Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets” is defined as the total of all assets (including reevaluations thereof as a result of commercial
appraisals, price level restatement or otherwise) appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of CODELCO and its
Subsidiaries as of the then most recent date filed by CODELCO with the CMF, but excluding goodwill, trade
names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and all other like intangible assets (which term shall not be
construed to include such reevaluations), less the aggregate of the current liabilities of CODELCO and its
Subsidiaries appearing on such balance sheet. The term “Principal Property” means any mineral property,
concentrator, smelter, refinery or rod mill located within Chile, of CODELCO or any Subsidiary except any such
property, plant or facility which the Board of Directors by resolution declares is not of material importance to the
total business conducted by CODELCO and its Subsidiaries as an entity. The term “Subsidiary” means any
corporation more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by
CODELCO and of which CODELCO has the power to direct the management. The term “Restricted Subsidiary”
means (i) any Subsidiary which owns, directly or indirectly, any Principal Property and (ii) any Subsidiary which
owns, directly or indirectly, any stock or debt of a Restricted Subsidiary.
Limitation on Sale-and-Lease-Back Transactions
The indenture provides that neither CODELCO nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any
arrangement with any person (other than CODELCO or a Restricted Subsidiary), or to which any such person is a
party, providing for the leasing to CODELCO or a Restricted Subsidiary for a period of more than three years of
any property or assets which has been or is to be sold or transferred by CODELCO or such Restricted Subsidiary
to such person or to any person (other than CODELCO or a Restricted Subsidiary) to which funds have been or are
109
to be advanced by such person on the security of the leased property or assets unless either (1) CODELCO or such
Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions described under “—Limitation on Liens”
above, to incur Debt in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the value of such sale-and-lease-back transaction,
secured by a lien on the property or assets to be leased, without equally and ratably securing the notes, or
(ii) CODELCO, during or immediately after the expiration of six months after the effective date of such
transaction (whether made by CODELCO or a Restricted Subsidiary), applies to the voluntary retirement of
indebtedness of CODELCO (including the notes) maturing by its terms more than one year after the original
creation thereof (“Funded Debt”) an amount equal to the value of such transaction, less an amount equal to the
sum of (a) the principal amount of notes delivered, within six months after the effective date of such arrangement,
to the trustee for retirement and cancellation and (b) the principal amount of other Funded Debt voluntarily retired
by CODELCO within such six-month period, in each case excluding retirements of notes and other Funded Debt
as a result of conversions or pursuant to mandatory sinking fund or mandatory prepayment provisions or by
payment at maturity.
Periodic Reports
CODELCO will furnish, to the noteholders and to prospective purchasers of notes, upon request to the
trustee, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as
the notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act.
Events of Default
An Event of Default with respect to the notes is defined in the indenture as being any of the following
(each an “Event of Default”): (1) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the notes; (ii) default in
payment of principal of the notes; (iii) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty or
obligation of CODELCO in the indenture and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after
written notice is given to CODELCO by the trustee or to CODELCO and the trustee by the holders of at least
33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the notes; (iv) default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence
of indebtedness for money borrowed, or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be
issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by CODELCO or
any Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, in an aggregate principal
amount exceeding U.S.$50 million (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) which default (x) shall
constitute the failure to pay any portion of the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable, whether at
maturity, upon redemption or acceleration or otherwise, or (y) shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming
or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, in either
case, if such default shall continue for more than 30 Business Days and within such 30 Business Days the time for
payment of such amount has not been expressly extended (provided that if such default under such indenture or
instrument shall be remedied or cured by CODELCO or waived by the holders of such indebtedness, then the
event of default with respect to the notes shall be deemed likewise to have been remedied, cured or waived); and
(v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of CODELCO or any Significant Subsidiary. “Significant
Subsidiary” is defined in the indenture as a Subsidiary, the total assets of which exceed 10% of the total assets of
CODELCO and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the end of the most recently completed year. The
trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to the notes unless a written
notice of such default or Event of Default shall have been given to an officer of the trustee who has direct
responsibility for the administration of the indenture and the notes by CODELCO or any holder of notes.
The indenture provides that (i) if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in
clause (v) above) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the notes, either the trustee or the holders
of not less than 33!/3% of the total principal amount of the notes of such series then outstanding may declare the
principal of all such outstanding notes and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately
and (ii) if an Event of Default described in clause (v) above shall have occurred, the principal of all such
outstanding notes and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of such notes. The indenture provides
that the notes owned by CODELCO or any of its affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding for certain
purposes, including declaring the acceleration of the maturity of the notes. Upon the satisfaction by CODELCO of
certain conditions, including (i) the payment of all fees and expenses of the trustee, (ii) CODELCO”s deposit with
the trustee of a sum sufficient to pay all outstanding amounts then due on the applicable notes (other than principal
110
due by virtue of the acceleration) together with interest on such amounts through the date of the deposit and (iii)
all Events of Default (other than non-payment of principal that became due by virtue of the acceleration upon the
event of default) have been cured or waived, the declaration described in clause (i) of this paragraph may be
annulled by the holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the applicable notes then outstanding. Past
defaults, other than non-payment of principal, interest and compliance with certain covenants, may be waived by
the holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the applicable notes outstanding.
The trustee must give to the holders of the notes notice of all uncured defaults known to it with respect to
the notes within 30 days after a Responsible Officer of the trustee has received written notification of such a
default (unless such default shall have been cured); provided, however, that, except in the case of default in the
payment of principal, interest or Additional Amounts, the trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if it
in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of the notes.
“Responsible Officer” is defined in the indenture as any officer of the trustee with direct responsibility for the
administration of the indenture and, with respect to a particular corporate trust matter, any other officer to whom
such matter is referred because of his knowledge of and familiarity with the particular subject.
No holder of notes may institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, under the indenture unless (i) such
holder shall have given the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the notes of that
series, (ii) the holders of not less than 33!/3% of the total principal amount of the notes of that series then
outstanding shall have made written request to the trustee to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of
Default, (ii) such holder or holders shall have offered the trustee such reasonable indemnity as the trustee may
require, (iv) the trustee shall have failed to institute an action for 60 days thereafter and (v) no inconsistent
direction shall have been given to the trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority of the total
principal amount of the notes of such series. Such limitations, however, do not apply to any suit instituted by a
holder of a note for enforcement of payment of the principal or interest on the notes on or after the respective
stated maturity expressed in such notes.
The indenture provides that, subject to the duty of the trustee during default to act with the required
standard of care, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture
at the request or direction of any holders of the notes, unless such holders shall have offered to the trustee
reasonable indemnity.
CODELCO is required to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to the performance by CODELCO
of certain of its obligations under the indenture and as to any default in such performance.
Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of principal and stated interest under the notes by CODELCO will be made without
deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments, duties or governmental
charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Chile or any political subdivision or territory or
possession thereof or therein (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”) unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes,
assessments, duties or governmental charges is required by law or regulation or by the official interpretation
thereof. In that event, CODELCO will pay to each Holder of a note such additional amounts (“Additional
Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that each net payment on such note after such deduction or withholding
will not be less than the amount provided for in such note to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the
foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply to:
() any tax, assessment, duty or other governmental charge that would not have been so
deducted or withheld but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or
the beneficial owner of the note (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or
possessor of a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an
estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such tax, assessment, duty
or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such
fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or
resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or
having had, a permanent establishment therein) other than the mere receipt of payments in respect of a
note or the holding or ownership of a note or beneficial interest therein; or (ii) the presentation of a note
111
(where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such
payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever
occurs later;
(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property, capital gains, excise or
similar tax, assessment, duty or other governmental charge;
(iii) any tax, assessment, duty or other governmental charge that is payable other than by
withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the notes;
(iv) any tax, assessment, duty or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed
but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning
the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of the note, if compliance is
required by statute or by regulation of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption
from all or part of such tax, assessment, duty or other governmental charge, or to a reduction in the
applicable tax rate, and proper notice has been sent to the Holder or beneficial owner; or
(v) any combination of items (1), (ii), (1ii), and (iv) above.
Nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or any interest on
any note to any Holder or beneficial owner that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner
of such note to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in
the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such
partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been a
Holder of such note.
If CODELCO pays Additional Amounts in respect of the Chilean withholding tax on payments of interest
or premium, if any, made by CODELCO in respect of the notes to a Foreign Holder (as defined in “Taxation”)
assessed at a rate of 4%, and a refund is provided with respect to such withholding tax, CODELCO shall have the
right to receive and be entitled to such funds from the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.
Redemption
CODELCO will not be permitted to redeem the notes before their stated maturity, except as set forth
below. The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund—meaning that CODELCO will not
deposit money on a regular basis into any separate account to repay your notes. In addition, you will not be
entitled to require CODELCO to repurchase your notes from you before the stated maturity.
Optional Redemption
We may redeem on one or more occasions some or all of the notes before they mature.
We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time and from time to time, prior to
date stated in the applicable Final Terms (the “Par Call Date”) at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i)
100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon as if redeemed on the Par Call Date (exclusive of any interest
accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus a spread to be
indicated in the Final Terms, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”).
Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the
notes will state the amount to be redeemed. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on any
notes that are redeemed. If less than all the notes are redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes by lot or on
a pro rata basis or by any other method that the trustee deems fair and appropriate.
112
For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
a comparable maturity to the Par Call Date.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of five
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker is unable to obtain at least five such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the
Independent Investment Banker.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by
CODELCO from time to time to act as the “Independent Investment Banker.”
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York City
(“Primary Treasury Dealers”), and two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are Primary
Treasury Dealers selected from time to time by CODELCO; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall
cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, CODELCO shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized
investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing
to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on
the third business day preceding that redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding that redemption date) of
the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of
its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.
Tax Redemption
The notes may be redeemed at the election of CODELCO, in whole, but not in part, by the giving of
notice as provided in “—Notices” below (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a price equal to the outstanding
principal amount thereof, together with any Additional Amounts and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date, if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated
thereunder, including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction) of the Taxing Jurisdiction, or any change in
the official application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings in such Taxing
Jurisdiction, CODELCO has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the applicable notes in
excess of the Additional Amounts that would be payable were payments of interest on the notes subject to 4%
withholding (“Excess Additional Amounts”), and if such change or amendment is announced or becomes effective
on or after the date of the agreement to purchase the notes and such obligation cannot be avoided by CODELCO
taking measures it considers reasonable and that are available to it (for this purpose, reasonable measures shall not
include any change in CODELCOS”s or any successor”s jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or location of
its principal executive or registered office); provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given
earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which CODELCO would be obligated to pay such Excess
Additional Amounts, were a payment in respect of the notes then due. Prior to the giving of notice of redemption
of such notes, CODELCO will deliver to the trustee an officers” certificate and a written opinion of recognized
Chilean counsel independent of CODELCO to the effect that all governmental approvals necessary for CODELCO
to effect such redemption, if any, have been or at the time of redemption will be obtained and in full force and
effect and that CODELCO is entitled to effect such a redemption, and setting forth in reasonable detail the
circumstances giving rise to such right of redemption. See “Taxation—Chilean Taxation.”
113
Notices
For so long as the notes are outstanding in global form, notices to be given to holders will be given to the
depositary, in accordance with its applicable procedures as in effect from time to time. If notes are issued in
individual definitive form, notice to holders of the notes will be given by mail to the addresses of such holders as
they appear in the security register. In addition, so long as the notes are represented by a global security deposited
with a common depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear, notices to holders may be given by delivery to
Clearstream and Euroclear, and such notices shall be deemed to be given on the date of delivery to Clearstreamand
Euroclear.
Replacement of Notes
In case of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, application for replacement thereof may be made to
the trustee or CODELCO. Any such note shall be replaced by the trustee in compliance with such procedures, and
on such terms as to evidence and indemnification, as the trustee or CODELCO may require and subject to any
applicable law or regulation. All such costs as may be incurred in connection with the replacement of any notes
shall be borne by the applicant. Mutilated notes must be surrendered before new ones will be issued.
Modification of the Indenture
CODELCO and the trustee may, without the consent of the holders of notes, amend, waive or supplement
the indenture or the notes for certain specified purposes, including among other things: (i) to evidence
CODELCOSs succession by another corporation, and the assumption by such party of CODELCO”s obligations;
(11) to add to CODELCO”s covenants or surrender any of its rights or powers for the benefit of all or any series of
notes; (iii) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; (iv) to provide for the issuance of any
new series of securities, and/or add to the rights of any holders of any series of notes; (v) to provide for the
appointment of a successor trustee; (vi) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of any or all series;
(vii) to provide for the issuance of securities in bearer form; and (viii) to make any other change to the indenture as
shall not adversely affect the interests of any holder of the notes.
In addition, with certain exceptions, the indenture and the notes may be modified by CODELCO and the
trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes of the series
affected thereby then outstanding, but no such modification may be made without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding note affected by the modification which would:
(i)change the maturity of any principal of, or any premium on, or any installment of interest on,
any note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or any premium (or Additional
Amounts, if any) payable thereon, or change the method of computing the amount of principal thereof or
interest or premium (or Additional Amounts, if any) payable thereon on any date, or change any place of
payment where, or the coin or currency in which, the principal or interest (including Additional Amounts)
on any note are payable, or impair the right of holders to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the date when due;
(ii)reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes of such series,
where the consent of holders is required for any such modification or for any waiver of compliance with
certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in
the indenture; or
(iii) modify provisions relating to waiver of certain defaults, waiver of certain covenants and the
provisions summarized in this paragraph, including provisions governing the amendment of the
indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the
indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note
affected by the modification.
The indenture provides that the notes owned by CODELCO or any of its affiliates shall be deemed not to
be outstanding for, among other purposes, consent to any such modification.
114
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
CODELCO, at its option, at any time upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described below, may
elect to be discharged from its obligations with respect to the notes. In general, upon a defeasance, CODELCO
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the notes and to have satisfied
all of its obligations under the notes, except for: (1) the rights of holders of notes to receive, solely from the trust
fund established for such purposes, payments in respect of the principal of, and interest, and Additional Amounts,
if any, on the notes when such payments are due; (ii) certain provisions relating to ownership, registration and
transfer of the notes; (iii) the covenant relating to the maintenance of an office or agency in New York City, and
(iv) certain provisions relating to the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee.
In addition, CODELCO, at its option, at any time, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described
below, may discharge its obligation to comply with the covenants specified above under “—Consolidation,
Merger, Conveyance, Sale or Lease, *
”«
Limitation on Liens” and “—Limitation on Sale-and-Lease-Back
Transactions.” In order to cause a defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the notes, CODELCO will
be required to (i) deposit funds or obligations issued by the United States in an amount sufficient to provide for the
timely payment of principal, interest and all other amounts due under the notes with the trustee, and (ii) satisfy
certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized
standing to the effect that beneficial owners of notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on
the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and
defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel in the case of defeasance must refer to and be based upon a
ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law occurring after the
date of the indenture.
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Sovereign Immunity
The indenture provides that it and the notes will be governed by, and will be construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York. The indenture provides that CODELCO will maintain at all
times during the life of the notes an office or agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon
whom process may be served in any action arising out of or based on the notes which may be instituted in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, in either case in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by any holder of a note, and CODELCO
will expressly accept the jurisdiction of any such court.
To the extent that CODELCO may be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at
any time be commenced with respect to the notes, to claim for itself or its revenues or assets any immunity from
suit, jurisdiction, attachment in aid or execution of a judgment or prior to a judgment, execution of a judgment or
any other legal process with respect to its obligations under the notes, and to the extent that in any such
Jurisdiction there may be attributed to CODELCO such an immunity (whether or not claimed), CODELCO will
irrevocably agree not to claim and will irrevocably waive such immunity to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Article 226 of the Mining Code of Chile prohibits the attachment and judicial sale of a debtor?s mining
concessions and installations and other goods permanently dedicated to exploration or extraction of minerals
relating to those mining concessions, except with respect to mortgages. However, a debtor may consent to such
attachment and sale, provided that the consent is given in the same judicial proceeding in which the attachment
and sale is sought. The general waiver of immunity by CODELCO in the notes will not be effective with respect
to immunity under Article 226. In addition, pursuant to the Constitution, mining concessions corresponding to
mining deposits exploited by CODELCO upon its creation in 1976 cannot be subject to attachment or to any act of
disposition by CODELCO.
Further Issues of Notes
Without the consent of the holders, CODELCO may create and issue additional notes with terms and
conditions that are the same (or the same except as to scheduled interest payments prior to the time of issue of the
additional notes) as the terms and conditions of the notes. CODELCO may consolidate the additional notes to
form a single series with the notes; provided, however, that unless such additional notes are issued under a
115
separate CUSIP number, such additional notes must be part of the same “issue” as the outstanding series of notes
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” as the outstanding series of notes
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or issued with no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount.
116
TAXATION
General
The following is a summary of certain Chilean tax and U.S. federal income tax considerations (and
certain EU related tax consequences) relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes. The summary
does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision
to purchase the notes, and, except to the extent certain EU-related tax consequences are described below, it does
not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any national, state, or local taxing jurisdiction other
than the United States and Chile.
This summary is based on the tax laws of Chile and the United States as in effect on the date of this
prospectus, as well as regulations, rulings and decisions of Chile and the United States available on or before such
date and now in effect. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which may apply retroactively and could affect
the continued validity of this summary.
Prospective purchasers of the notes should consult their own tax advisors as to the Chilean, United States
or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, taking into account the
application of the tax considerations discussed below to their particular situation, as well as the application of
state, local, foreign or other tax laws.
On February 4, 2010, Chile and the United States entered into a tax treaty (the “Treaty”), which has been
ratified by the Chilean Congress, but must be ratified by the competent authorities of the United States before it
can enter into effect, and which may apply to income generated in Chile or the United States by a resident of either
country. Investors should consult their own advisors regarding the application of the Treaty to their particular
circumstances and the date on which a particular Treaty provision will enter into effect.
Chilean Taxation
The following is a general summary of the material consequences under Chilean tax law, as currently in
effect, of an investment in the notes made by a “Foreign Holder.” For purposes of this summary, the term
“Foreign Holder” means (i) an individual not resident or domiciled in Chile or (ii) a legal entity that is not
incorporated under the laws of Chile, unless the notes are assigned to a branch or a permanent establishment of
such entity in Chile. For purposes of Chilean taxation, (a) an individual is a resident of Chile if such individual
has remained in Chile for more than six months in any calendar year, or for more than six months within two
consecutive fiscal years and (b) an individual is domiciled in Chile if such individual resides in Chile with the
intention of remaining in Chile (the intention will be determined according to the circumstances).
Under Chile”s income tax law (the “Income Tax Law”), payments of interest or premium, if any, made by
CODELCO in respect of the notes to a Foreign Holder will generally be subject to a Chilean withholding tax
assessed at a rate of 4% (the “Chilean Interest Withholding Tax”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Income Tax Law, interest, premiums, remuneration for services, financial
expenses and any other contractual surcharges under credit facilities entered into or disbursed on or after January
1, 2015, and which are paid or credited to an account or made available to “related entities” of CODELCO in
respect of loans or liabilities existing during the year in which the indebtedness is considered to be excessive, are
subject to a 35% penalty tax that CODELCO is required to pay. The withholding tax applicable to the interest
payments made by us can be used as a credit against such 35% penalty tax. Indebtedness will be considered to be
excessive when at the end of the corresponding fiscal year a “total annual indebtedness” to entities incorporated,
domiciled or established in a foreign country or in Chile, either related or not, exceeds three times the equity of
CODELCO, calculated pursuant to the provisions of article 41 F of the Income Tax Law. Under the “Excessive
Indebtedness” rules, a lender or creditor will be deemed to be related to CODELCO if: (1) the beneficiary (1.e.,
lender or creditor) is incorporated, domiciled, resident or established in one of the territories or jurisdictions listed
in section 41 H of the Income Tax Law; (ii) each of the beneficiary (i.e., lender or creditor) and CODELCO belong
to the same corporate group or, directly or indirectly, owns or participates in 10% or more of the capital or the
profits of the other, or if the beneficiary and CODELCO have a common partner or shareholder which, directly or
indirectly, owns or participates in 10% or more of the capital or the profits of both, and such beneficiary is
117
incorporated, domiciled, resident or established outside Chile; (iii) the indebtedness is guaranteed directly or
indirectly by a third-party, unless they are not related to CODELCO, in the terms of clauses (1) or (ii) above, or
(iv) hereafter, and such third-party guarantees the obligations for a fee determined under market conditions;
however, the beneficiary shall be deemed related when the non-related third-party has executed an agreement or
obtained the funds to guarantee the indebtedness granted to CODELCO with a related party of the latter under the
terms established in clauses (i) or (ii), above and (iv) hereafter; (iv) the relevant financial instruments documenting
such indebtedness are placed and acquired by independent entities and such indebtedness is subsequently acquired
or transferred to a related entity according to subsections (i) to (iii) above; or (v) one party (i.e., beneficiary or
CODELCO) conducts one or more operations with a third-party who, in turn, directly or indirectly conducts one or
more similar or identical operations with a related party of such party.
The Income Tax Law provides that a Foreign Holder is subject to income tax on Chilean source income.
Chilean source income is defined by the Income Tax Law as income arising from goods located in Chile or
activities performed in Chile, regardless of the domicile or residence of the taxpayer. The Income Tax Law
establishes that capital gains derived from the sale of bonds issued by a Chilean taxpayer in Chile are considered
Chilean source income. Hence, as the notes are not issued in Chile, capital gains arising from the sale or other
dispositions by a Foreign Holder of the notes will not be deemed as Chilean source income.
As described above, CODELCO has agreed, subject to specific exceptions and limitations, to pay to the
holders of notes Additional Amounts in respect of the Chilean Interest Withholding Tax in order that any interest
or premium the Foreign Holder receives, net of the Chilean Interest Withholding Tax, equals the amount which
would have been received by such Foreign Holder in the absence of such withholding. See “Description of
Notes—Payment of Additional Amounts.”
A Foreign Holder will not be liable for estate, gift, inheritance or similar taxes with respect to its holdings
unless the notes held by a Foreign Holder are either located in Chile at the time of such Foreign Holder”s death, or,
if the notes are not located in Chile at the time of a Foreign Holder”s death, if such notes were purchased or
acquired with monies obtained from Chilean sources.
The issuance of the notes is subject to a stamp tax, which will be payable by CODELCO.
If the stamp tax is not paid when due, Chiles Tax Law imposes penalties (fines, interests and
readjustments), which will also be payable by CODELCO. In addition, until such tax (and any penalty) is paid,
Chilean courts would not enforce any action brought with respect to the notes. We have agreed to pay promptly
such tax when due.
United States Taxation
This summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations deals with U.S. Holders (as defined below) that
will hold CODELCO notes as capital assets and whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. It does not purport
to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular investor”s
decision to purchase notes and generally does not address the tax treatment of U.S. Holders that may be subject to
special tax rules, such as certain banks, tax-exempt entities, partnerships (or entities classified as partnerships for
U.S. federal income tax purposes) or partners therein, insurance companies, dealers in securities, nonresident alien
individuals present in the United States for 183 days or more during a taxable year, or persons that will hold notes
as part of an integrated investment (including a “straddle”) consisting of the notes and one or more other positions,
nor does it address the tax treatment of U.S. Holders that do not acquire notes as part of the initial distribution at
the notes” “issue price,” which will equal the first price to the public (not including bond houses, brokers or similar
persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) at which a
substantial amount of the notes is sold for money.
As used in this section “—United States Taxation,” the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a
note that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S. domestic corporation or that otherwise will be
subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of the notes.
118
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof,
administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, and final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations,
changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described
herein. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of
purchasing, owning, and disposing of the notes, including the application in their particular circumstances of the
U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below, as well as the application of state, local, foreign, other tax
laws or the Medicare tax on net investment income and possible changes in tax laws.
U.S. Holders that use an accrual method of accounting for tax purposes (“accrual method holders”)
generally are required to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected on
certain financial statements (the “book/tax conformity rule”). The application of the book/tax conformity rule thus
may require the accrual of income earlier than would be the case under the general tax rules described below,
although it is not entirely clear to what types of income the book/tax conformity rule applies. Recently released
proposed regulations generally would exclude, among other items, original issue discount and market discount (in
either case, whether or not de minimis) from the applicability of the book/tax conformity rule. Although the
proposed regulations generally will not be effective until taxable years beginning after the date on which they are
issued in final form, taxpayers generally are permitted to elect to rely on their provisions currently. Accrual
method holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of the book/tax
conformity rule to their particular situation.
Taxation of Interest and Additional Amounts. The gross amount of interest and Additional Amounts
(including any Chilean Interest Withholding Tax withheld from interest payments and any Additional Amounts in
respect thereof) will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income in respect of the notes at the time it
accrues or is actually or constructively received in accordance with the holder?s method of accounting for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. It is expected that the notes will not be issued with more than a de minimis amount
of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Subject to generally applicable restrictions and conditions, Chilean Interest Withholding Tax withheld
from payments of interest on the notes, or from Additional Amounts, at the appropriate rate applicable to the U.S.
Holder will be treated as a foreign income tax eligible (1) for credit against a U.S. Holder”s U.S. federal income tax
liability, or (ii) at the election of such U.S. Holder, for deduction in computing such U.S. Holder”s taxable income
provided that the U.S. Holder does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid or
accrued for the relevant taxable year. Interest and Additional Amounts will constitute income from sources
without the United States for foreign tax credit purposes. Such income generally will constitute “passive category
income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “general category income.”
The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. Holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes,
the availability of such deduction, involves the application of rules that depend on a U.S. Holder’s particular
circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits
and the treatment of Additional Amounts.
Taxation of Dispositions.A U.S. Holder will generally recognize taxable gain or loss upon the sale,
exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the notes in an amount equal to the difference between the
amount realized upon such sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition (less any accrued interest and, in the
case of a redemption, any Additional Amounts with respect to accrued interest, which will be taxable in the
manner described above under “—Taxation of Interest and Additional Amounts”) and such U.S. Holder”s adjusted
tax basis in those notes. A U.S. Holder”s adjusted tax basis in a note will generally equal such U.S. Holder”s
initial investment in the note. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or
loss if the notes are held for more than one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may
be eligible for a preferential rate in respect of long-term capital gain. The deduction of capital losses is subject to
limitations.
Capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be U.S. source gain or loss.
Consequently, if any such gain would be subject to Chilean withholding tax, a U.S. Holder may not be able to
credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable
119
conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. U.S. Holders
should consult their own tax advisors as to the foreign tax credit implications of a disposition of the notes.
Foreign Asset Reporting. Certain U.S. Holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an
aggregate value in excess of U.S.$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or U.S.$75,000 at any time during the
taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form
8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at a non-
U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer (which would include the notes) that are
not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals
living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities
that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based
on certain objective criteria. U.S. Holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to
substantial penalties. In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or
part. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their
investment in the notes, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments of interest and Additional Amounts on the
notes and sales or redemption proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related
financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless
(i) the holder is an exempt recipient that, if required, establishes its exemption or (ii) in the case of backup
withholding, the holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to
backup withholding.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a holder will be refunded
(or credited against such holder”s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any), provided the required information is
properly furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on a timely basis.
The Proposed Financial Transaction Tax
The European Commission has published a proposal (the “Commission”s Proposal”) for a Directive for a
common financial transaction tax (“FTT”) in Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria,
Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia (the “participating Member States”). However, Estonia has since stated that it
will not participate.
The Commission’s Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced in its current form, apply to
certain dealings in the notes in certain circumstances.
Under the Commission”s Proposal, the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within
and outside of the participating Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in the notes where at
least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a participating Member State.
A financial institution may be, or be deemed to be, “established” in a participating Member State in a broad range
of circumstances, including (i) by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State or
(ii) where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State.
The FTT remains subject to negotiation between the participating Member States and the legality of the
proposal is uncertain. It may therefore be altered prior to any implementation, the timing of which remains
unclear. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate and/or certain of the participating Member States
may decide to withdraw.
Prospective holders of the notes are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT.
120
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Subject to the terms and conditions of the subscription agreement between CODELCO and the deal
manager, the deal manager has agreed to purchase from the Company the principal amount of notes at the initial
offering price set forth on the applicable Final Terms, less commissions.
The subscription agreement provides that the obligations of the deal manager to purchase the notes
offered hereby are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the dealer manager will purchase all of the notes
offered by this prospectus if any of these notes are purchased. The dealer manager may use any of its affiliates to
offer and sell any of the notes.
After the initial offering, the dealer manager may change the offering price and other selling terms.
CODELCO has agreed to indemnify the dealer manager against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the dealer manager may be required to make in respect of
any of these liabilities.
The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act. The dealer manager has agreed that it will
offer or sell the notes only in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes
being offered and sold pursuant to Regulation S may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States or to, or
for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person, unless the notes are registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from, the registration requirements thereof is available. Resales of the notes are restricted as described
under “Transfer Restrictions.”
With respect to each offering of the notes under the Program, until 40 days following after the later of the
commencement of such offering and the closing date, any offer or sale of notes within the United States by a
broker-dealer (whether or not participating in any of the offerings) may violate the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. Each purchaser of the notes will be deemed to have made acknowledgments, representations and
agreements as described under “Transfer Restrictions.”
The notes are a new issue of securities without an established trading market. The deal manager may
make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue
any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the
trading market for the notes or that an active market for the notes will develop. If an active public trading market
for the notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. If the notes
are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the
market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and
other factors.
In connection with the offering of the notes, the deal manager may engage in overallotment, stabilizing
transactions and syndicate covering transactions. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size,
which creates a short position for the deal manager. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the notes in
the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the notes. Syndicate covering
transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to
cover short positions. Stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions may cause the price of the notes
to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of those transactions. If the deal manager engages in
stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions, they may discontinue them at any time without notice.
The deal manager and its affiliates may have performed certain commercial banking, investment banking
or advisory services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The deal
manager may, from time to time, continue to engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the
ordinary course of their business.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the deal manager and its affiliates may
make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative
securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their
121
customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our
affiliates. The dealer manager may hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk
management policies. Typically, such dealer manager would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions
which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities,
including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading
prices of the notes offered hereby. The deal manager and its affiliates may also make investment
recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial
instruments and may hold, or recommend to customer that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such
securities and instruments.
Delivery of the notes will take place as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these
purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of
Article 4(1) of MiFID Il; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the
“Insurance Mediation Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID Il; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. No
key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for
offering or selling packaged retail and insurance based investment products or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
For purposes of this provision, the expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (as amended) and includes any relevant implementing measure in any Member State of the European
Economic Area. The expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient
information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase
or subscribe the notes.

GLOSSARY OF CERTAIN MINING TERMS
Andesite: A fine-grained volcanic rock, usually dark grey in color, with an average composition of
50-60% sulphur dioxide.
Anode Copper: Blister copper that has undergone further refinement to remove impurities. In an anode furnace,
the blister copper is blown with air and a hydrocarbon redundant to upgrade its purity to approximately
99.5% copper. It is then cast into keystone-shaped slabs that are shipped to an electrolytic refinery.
Anodic Slime: A product with a high content of precious metals that settles on the bottom of an electrolytic cell in
the copper refinery during the production of copper cathodes. The product is called anode, or anodic, slime due to
its muddy appearance. Anode slimes have a high commercial value based on their precious metals content (silver,
gold, platinum and palladium).
Blister Copper: Copper that has been cast after passing through a converter. Blister copper is approximately
99.0% copper and takes its name from the “blisters” that form on the surface during cooling.
Breccia: A rock conglomerate made up of highly angular coarse fragments.
Calcopyrite: A combination of copper and iron sulfide with a metallic yellow-gold color, containing
34.7% copper, 30% iron and 26% sulfur.
Cathode: Copper produced by an electrochemical refining process that has been melted and cast into cakes,
billets, wire bars or rods usually weighing approximately 90kg.
Concentration: The process by which crushed and ground ore is separated into metal concentrates and reject
material through processes such as flotation. Concentrates are shipped to a smelter for further processing.
Concentrator: A plant where concentration takes place.
Converter: A plant that conducts a principal phase of the smelting process, blowing oxygen-enriched air through,
molten metal, causing oxidation and the removal of sulfur and other impurities. In the case of copper, the product
of this process is blister copper.
Copper Concentrate: A product of the concentrator usually containing 25% to 30% copper. It is the raw feed
material for smelting.
Copper Grade: The concentration of copper in a given volume of rock, usually expressed as a percentage.
Dacite: A fine-grained volcanic rock similar in composition to andesite but containing a greater abundance of
quartz crystals that are frequently visible to the naked eye.
Development: Activities related to the building of infrastructure and the stripping and opening of mineral
deposits, commencing when economically recoverable reserves can reasonably be estimated to exist and generally
continuing until commercial production begins.
Diorite: A dark, coarsely crystalline igneous rock, similar in composition to granite that is composed principally
of silica, alumina, calcium and iron.
Electrolytic Refining: Electrochemical refining of copper anodes. Copper anodes are placed between layers of
refined copper sheets in a tank through which an acid copper sulfate solution is circulated. A low voltage current
is introduced, causing the transfer of copper from the anodes to the pure copper sheets, and producing
99.98% copper cathodes. Impurities, often containing precious metals, settle to the bottom of the tank.
Electrowinning: The process of directly recovering copper from solution by the action of electric currents.
128
Exploration: Activities associated with ascertaining the existence, location, extent or quality of a mineral deposit.
Fine Copper: 99.99% pure copper obtained through metallurgical processes.

in an oily froth and rise to the surface, where they are skimmed off. This process is used primarily for the
concentration of sulfide ores.
Flux: A high grade silica, which reacts with iron oxides formed during smelting and converting stages to create a
molten slag.
Geological Resources (measured, indicated and inferred): Concentrations or occurrences of materials in such
form, quantity (tonnage and ore grade) and quality, based on specific geological evidence and knowledge, which
allows for the calculation of the amount, ore grade and quality of the material with some level of confidence.
Grade A Copper: Electrolytic copper, in the form of cathodes, that (i) is at least 99.99% pure, (ii) meets the
LMES’s highest standards for copper quality, and (iii) is named in the LME-approved list of brands of Grade A
copper.
Indicated Resources (geological or mineral resources): Resources about which CODELCO”s knowledge is
substantial but less extensive than its knowledge of measured resources.
Inferred Resources (geological or mineral resources): Resources about which CODELCO””s knowledge is only
indirect.

rocks.
Leached Capping: An abundant mass of iron oxide concentrated in the upper zones of a porphyry copper
deposit.
Leaching: The process of extracting a soluble metallic compound from an ore by selectively dissolving it in a
suitable solvent.
Matte: A high density liquid that is produced during the concentrate fusion stage of the pyro-metallurgical
process.
Matte Sulfide: A high density liquid containing copper and iron sulfides that is produced of the concentrate
fusion stage of the pyro-metallurgical process.
Measured Resources (geological or mineral resources): Resources about which CODELCO”s knowledge is
both extensive and direct.
Milling: A treatment process in which ore is ground into a fine powder.
Mine: Mines are the source of mineral-bearing material found near the surface or deep in the ground.
Mineral Deposit: A mineralized underground body that has been probed by a sufficient number of closely-spaced
drill holes and/or underground sampling measurements to support an estimate of sufficient tonnage and ore grade
to warrant further exploration or development. Mineral deposits or mineralized materials do not qualify as
commercially minable ore reserves (i.e., proved reserves or probable reserves), as prescribed under standards of
the U.S. Bureau of Mines Circular 831 of 1980, until a final and comprehensive economic, technical, and legal
feasibility study based upon the test results has been concluded.
129
Mineral Resources (measured, indicated and inferred): Geological resources about which CODELCO has
achieved increased knowledge and which enable CODELCO to generate a long-term mining plan for the
exploitation of such resources.
Mineralization: A deposit of rock containing one or more minerals for which the economics of recovery have not
yet been established.
Molybdenum: A metallic element, grayish in color, that resembles chromium and tungsten in many properties,
and is used especially in strengthening and hardening steel.

holes, and grade and quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling. Sites for inspection, sampling
and measurement of proved ore reserves are spaced so closely together, and the geologic character of the ore is so
well defined, that its size, shape, depth and mineral content are well established.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Corporate Information
Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile (hereinafter referred to as “Codelco”, “Codelco – Chile”, or the
“Corporation”), is, in Management’s opinion, the largest copper producer in the world. Codelco’s most
important product is refined copper, primarily in the form of cathodes. The Corporation also produces copper
concentrates, blister and anode copper and by-products such as molybdenum, anode slime and sulfuric
acid.
The Corporation trades its products based on a policy aimed to sell refined copper to manufacturers or
producers of semi-manufactured products.
These products contribute to diverse fields of community development, particularly those intended to
improve areas such as public health, energy efficiency, and sustainable development, among others.
Codelco-Chile is registered under Securities Registry No. 785 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial
Market (the “CMF”), and is subject to its supervision. According to Article No. 10 of Law No. 20392 (related
to the new Corporate Governance of Codelco), such supervision shall be on the same terms as publicly
traded companies, notwithstanding the provisions in Decree Law (D.L.) No.1349 of 1976, which created the
Comisión Chilena del Cobre (“Chilean Copper Commission”).
Codelco’s head office is located in Santiago, Chile, at 1270 Huérfanos Street, telephone number (56-2)
26903000.
Codelco was incorporated through D.L. No. 1350 of 1976, which is the statutory decree applicable to the
Corporation. In accordance with the statutory decree, Codelco is a government-owned mining, industrial
and commercial company, which is a separate legal entity with its own equity, Codelco Chile currently carries
out its mining business through its Chuquicamata, Radomiro Tomic, Ministro Hales, Gabriela Mistral,
Salvador, Andina, El Teniente and Ventanas divisions. The Gabriela Mistral division is in charge of the ore
deposit of the same name, whose operations were, until December 31, 2012, the responsibility of its
subsidiary Minera Gaby SpA., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation which was absorbed by Codelco
on that date.
The Corporation also carries out similar activities in other mining deposits in association with third parties.
In accordance with letter e) of Article 10 of Law No. 20392, Codelco is governed by its organic standards
set forth in Decree Law No. 1350 (D.L. No. 1350) and that of its by-laws, and in matters not covered by them
and, insofar as they are compatible and do not contradict the provisions of such standards, by the rules that
govern publicly traded companies and the common laws as applicable to them.
In accordance with D.L. No. 1350 Section IV related to the Company’s Exchange and Budget Regulations.
Codelco’s financial activities are conducted following an annual budgeting program that is composed of an
Operations Budget, an Investment Budget and a Debt Amortization Budget.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Judgments and Key Estimates
In preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the use of certain critical accounting
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized as of the date of the
financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the reporting period is
required. Such preparation also requires the Corporation’s Management to exercise its judgment in the
process of applying the Corporation’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements are as follows:
a) Useful economic lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment – The useful lives
and residual values of property, plant and equipment that are used for calculating depreciation are
determined based on technical studies prepared by specialists (internal or external). The technical
studies consider specific factors related to the use of assets.
When there are indicators that could lead to changes in the estimates of the useful lives of such assets,
these changes are made by using technical estimates to determine the impact of any change.
b) Ore reserves – The measurements of ore reserves are based on estimates of the ore resources that
are legally and economically exploitable, and reflect the technical and environmental considerations of
the Corporation regarding the amount of resources that could be exploited and sold at prices exceeding
the total cost associated with the extraction and processing.
The Corporation applies prudent judgment in determining the ore reserves, and as such, possible
changes in these estimates might significantly impact the estimates of net revenues over time. In
addition, these changes might lead to modifications in usage estimates, which might have an effect on
depreciation and amortization expense, calculation of stripping cost adjustments, determination of
impairment losses, expected future disbursements related to decommissioning and restoration
obligations, long term defined benefits plans’ accounting and the accounting for financial derivative
instruments.

The Corporation estimates ¡ts reserves and mineral resources based on the information certified by the
Competent Persons of the Corporation, who are defined and regulated according to Law No. 20235.
These estimates correspond to the application of the Certification Code of Ore Reserves, Resources
and Exploration, issued by the Mining Committee which was instituted through the aforementioned law.
This does not modify the global volume of the Corporation’s ore reserves and resources.
Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation also periodically reviews such estimates, supported by
world-class external experts, who certify the reserves as determined.
c) Impairment of non-financial assets – The Corporation reviews the carrying amount of its assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated in order to determine the
extent of the impairment loss. In testing impairment, the assets are grouped into cash generating
units (“CGUs”) to which the assets belong, where applicable. The recoverable amount of these
CGUs is calculated as the present value of the expected future cash flows from such assets,
considering a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of the assets is lower than their
carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Goodwill and -lived assets are indefinitely-lived
tested for impairment at least annually.
The Corporation defines the CGUs and also estimates the timing and cash flows that such CGUs will
generate. Subsequent changes in the grouping of the CGU, or changes in the assumptions supporting
the estimates of cash flows or the discount rate, may impact the carrying amounts of the corresponding
assets.
Estimates of assumptions influencing the calculation of cash flows, such as the price of copper or
treatment charges and refining charges, among others, are determined based on studies conducted
by the Corporation using uniform criteria over different periods. Any changes to these criteria may
impact the estimated recoverable amount of the assets.
The Corporation has assessed and defined that the CGUs are determined at the level of each of its
current operating divisions.
Impairment testing also is performed at the level of associates and joint arrangements.
d) Provisions for decommissioning and site restoration costs – The Corporation is obliged to incur
decommissioning and site restoration costs when such site restoration or decommissioning ¡is required
due to a legal or constructive obligation. Costs are estimated on the basis of a formal closure plan and
are reassessed annually or as of the date such obligations become known. The initial estimate of
decommissioning and site restoration costs is recognized as property, plant and equipment in
accordance with IAS 16, and simultaneously a liability in accordance with IAS 37, is recorded.
For these purposes, a defined list of mine sites, facilities and other equipment are studied under this
process, considering the engineering level profile, the cubic meters of assets that will be subject to

f)
removal and restoration, weighted by a structure of market prices of goods and services, reflecting the
best current knowledge related to carrying out such activities, as well as techniques and more efficient
construction procedures to date. In the process of valuation of these activities, the assumptions of the
exchange rate for tradable goods and services is made, as well as a discount rate, which considers the
time value of money and the risks associated with the liabilities, which is determined based, where
applicable, on the currency in which disbursements are expected to be made.
The liability amounts recognized at the end of each reporting date represent management’s best
estimate of the present value of the future decommissioning and site restoration costs. Changes to
estimated future costs that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits required to settle the obligation, or a change in the discount
rate are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset in the current period (as well as the
associated liability). The amount deducted from the cost of the asset shall not exceed its carrying
amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized
immediately in profit or loss.
If the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of the asset, Codelco considers whether this is an
indication that the new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. If it is considered
such an indicator, Codelco tests the asset for impairment by estimating its recoverable amount, and
accounts for any impairment loss in accordance with IAS 36.
The decommissioning costs are initially recorded at the moment when a plant or other assets are
installed. Such costs are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and discounted to their
present value. These decommissioning costs are charged to net income over the life of the mine,
through depreciation of the corresponding asset. Depreciation expense ¡is included in cost of sales,
while the unwinding of the discount in the provision is included in finance costs.
Provisions for employee benefits – Provisions for employee benefits related to severance payments
and health benefits for services rendered by the employees are determined based on actuarial
calculations using the projected unit credit method, and are recognized in other comprehensive income
or profit or loss (depending on the accounting standards applicable).
The Corporation uses assumptions to determine the best estimate of future obligations related to these
benefits. Such estimates, as well as assumptions, are determined by management using the
assistance of external actuaries. These assumptions include demographic assumptions, discount rate
and expected salary increases and rotation levels, among other factors.
Accruals for open invoices – The Corporation uses information on future copper prices, through which
it recognizes adjustments to its revenues and trade receivables, due to the conditions in provisional
pricing arrangements. These adjustments are updated on a monthly basis, See Notes 2 r) “Revenue
from contracts with customers” of Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” below.
g) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments – Management may use its judgment to
choose an adequate and proper valuation method for financial instruments that are not quoted in an

active market. In the case of derivative financial instruments, assumptions are based on observable
market inputs, adjusted depending on factors specific to the instruments among others.
h) Lawsuits and contingencies – The Corporation assesses the probability of lawsuits and contingency

losses on an ongoing basis according to estimates performed by its legal advisors. For cases in which
management and the Corporation’s legal advisors believe that a loss is not probable of occurring or
where probable, may not be estimated reliably, no provisions are recognized.
Application of IFRS 16 that include the following:
– Estimation of the lease term;
– Determine if it is reasonably true that an extension or termination option will be exercised;
– Determination of the appropriate rate to discount lease payments.
Revenue recognition -The Corporation determines appropriate revenue recognition for its contracts
with customers by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or agreement with a
customer.
As part of the analysis, the management must make judgments about whether an agreement or
contract is legally enforceable, and whether the agreement includes separate performance obligations.
In addition, estimates are required in order to allocate the total price of the transaction to each
performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of the promised goods or services
underlying each performance obligation. (The Corporation applies the constraint on variable
consideration as defined in IFRS 15, if applicable).
Although the abovementioned estimates have been made based on the best information available as of
the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, itis possible that new developments could
lead the Corporation to modify these estimates in the future. Such modifications, if applicable, would be
adjusted prospectively, as required by IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors.”

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries, associates, acquisitions
and disposals and joint ventures are defined as follows:
+ Subsidiaries – A subsidiary is an entity over which the Corporation has control. Control is
exercised if, and only if, the following conditions are met: the Corporation has i) power to direct
the relevant activities of the subsidiaries unilaterally; ii) exposure or rights to variable returns from
these entities; and iii) the ability to use ¡its power to influence the amount of these returns.
The Corporation reassesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control listed above.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of Codelco and its subsidiaries, after eliminating all inter-company
balances and transactions.
The value of the participation of non-controlling shareholders in equity, net income and
comprehensive income of subsidiaries are presented, respectively, in the headings “Non-
controlling interests” of the consolidated statement of financial position; “Net income attributable
to non-controlling interests”; and “Comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests.”
+. Associates – An associate is an entity over which Codelco has significant influence. Significant
influence ¡is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate
but is not control or joint control over those policies.
Codelco’s interest ownership in associates is recognized in the consolidated financial statements
under the equity method. Under this method, the initial investment is recognized at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognize changes in Codelco’s share of the comprehensive income of the
associate, less any impairment losses or other changes to the investment in net assets of the
associate.
Appropriate adjustments to the Codelco’s share of the associate’s profit or loss after acquisition
are made in order to account for depreciation of the depreciable assets and related deferred tax
balances based on their fair values at the acquisition date.
+. Acquisitions and Disposals – The results of businesses acquired are incorporated in the
consolidated financial statements from the date when control is obtained; the results of businesses
sold during the period are included in the consolidated financial statements up to the effective date
of disposal. Gains or losses on disposal is the difference between the sale proceeds (net of
expenses) and the carrying amount of the net assets attributable to the ownership interest that
has been sold (and, where applicable, the associated cumulative translation adjustment).
If control is lost over a subsidiary, the retained ownership interest in the investment will be
recognized at its fair value.

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
At the acquisition date of an investment in a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, any excess of
the cost of the investment (consideration transferred) plus the amount of the non-controlling
interest in the acquiree plus the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree,
where applicable, over Codelco’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and acquired
liabilities is recognized as goodwill. Any excess of Codelco”s share of the net fair value of the
identifiable assets and acquired liabilities over the consideration transferred, after reassessment,
is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
+. Joint Ventures – The entities that qualify as joint ventures are accounted for using the equity
method.
e) Foreign currency transactions and Reporting currency conversion- Transactions in currencies
other than the Corporation’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing
at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency transactions
denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange
differences on such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise and
are included in line item “Foreign exchange differences” in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
At the end of each reporting period, assets and liabilities denominated in Unidades de Fomento (UF
or inflation index-linked units of account) are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rates
at that date (6/30/2019: US$41.09; 12/31/2018: US$39.68; 6/30/2018: US$41.71). The expenses and
revenues in Chilean pesos have been expressed in dollars at the observed exchange rate,
corresponding to the date of the accounting recording of each operation.
The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, whose functional
currency is other than the presentation currency of Codelco, are translated as follows for purposes of
consolidation:
+. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the prevailing exchange rate on the closing
date of the financial statements.
+ Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates for the period.
+ Non-monetary assets and liabilities as well as equity are translated at historic exchange rates.
+ All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity under the heading “Reserve on exchange differences on translation”.
The exchange rates used in each reporting period were as follows:

f) Offsetting balances and transactions: In general, assets and liabilities, income and expenses, are
not offset in the financial statements, unless required or permitted by an IFRS or when offsetting
reflects the substance of the transaction as well as when it is the intention of the Corporation to settle
a transaction net.
Income or expenses arising from transactions which, for contractual or legal reasons, permit the
possibility of offsetting and which the Corporation intends to liquidate for their net value or realize the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, are stated net in the statement of comprehensive
income.
g) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation — Items of property, plant and equipment are
initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at cost, less any
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Extension, modernization or improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity, capacity or
efficiency, or an increase in the useful life of the assets are capitalized as increasing the cost of the
corresponding assets.
Furthermore, assets acquired under finance lease contracts are included in property, plant and
equipment.
The assets included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated, as a general rule, using the
units of production method, when the activity performed by the asset is directly attributable to the mine
production process. All other assets included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated using
the straight-line method.
The assets included in property, plant and equipment and certain intangibles (software) are
depreciated over their economic useful lives, as described below:
Category Useful Life
Land Not depreciated
Land on mine site Units of production
Buildings Straight-line over 20-50 years
Buildings in underground mine levels Units of production level
Vehicles Straight-line over 3-7 years
Plant and equipment Units of production
Smelters Straight-line
Refineries Units of production
Mining rights Units of production
Support equipment Units of production
Intangibles – Software Straight-line over 8 years
Open pit and underground mine

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Leased assets are depreciated over the lease term or their estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.
Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, and any change in estimates is recognized prospectively.
Additionally, depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of assets, especially plants, facilities and
infrastructure may be revised at the end of each year or during the year according to changes in the
structure of reserves of the Corporation and productive long-term plans updated as of that date.
This review may be made at any time if the conditions of ore reserves change significantly as a result
of new known information, confirmed and officially released by the Corporation.
Gains or losses on the sale of disposal of an asset are calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds received and the carrying amount of the asset, and are included in profit or loss
when the asset is derecognized.
Construction in progress includes the amounts invested in the construction of property, plant and
equipment and in mining development projects. Construction in progress is transferred to assets in
operation once the testing period has ended and when they are ready for use; at that point, depreciation
begins to be recognized.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets that require a
substantial period of time before they are ready for use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the
corresponding items of property, plant and equipment.
The ore deposits owned by the Corporation are recorded in the accounting records at US$1.
Notwithstanding the above, those reserves and resources acquired as part of acquisition of entities
accounted for as business combinations, are recognized at their fair value.
h) Intangible assets – The Corporation initially recognizes these assets at acquisition cost. Subsequent
to initial recognition, intangible assets are amortized in a systematic way over their economic useful
life, except for those assets with indefinite useful life, which are not amortized. Indefinitely-lived
intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that
these assets may be impaired. Definitely-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when an
indicator of impairment has been identified. At the end of each reporting period, these assets are
measured at their cost less any accumulated amortization (when applicable) and any accumulated
impairment losses.
The main intangible assets are described as follows:
Research and Technological Development and Innovation Expenditures: The expenditures for
the development of Technology and Innovation Projects are recognized as intangible assets at their

Development expenses for technology and innovation projects are recognized as intangible assets at
cost, if and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
e The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will available for use or
sale;
The intention to complete the intangible asset is to use or sell it;
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
That the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
e The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its
development.
Research expenses for technology and innovation projects are recognized in profit or loss when
incurred.
i) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets – The carrying amounts of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed to determine
whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indicator exists, the Corporation estimates the asset’s recoverable amount to determine the extent of
the impairment loss which ¡is then recorded.
For assets with indefinite useful lives, their recoverable amounts are annually estimated at the end of
each reporting period.
When an asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, Codelco
determines the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.
The Corporation has defined each of its divisions as a cash generating unit.
Recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. On the other hand, the fair value less cost of disposal is usually determined for
operational assets considering the Life of Mine (‘LOM”), based on a model of discounted cash flows,
while the assets not included in LOM as resources and potential resources to exploit are measured by
using a market model of multiples for comparable transactions.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, reducing the carrying amount to its
recoverable amount. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the
asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years.

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The estimates of future cash flow for a CGU are based on future production forecasts, future prices of
basic products and future production costs. Under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, there are certain
restrictions for future cash flows estimates related to future restructurings and future cost efficiencies.
When calculating value in use, it is also necessary to base the calculations on the spot exchange rate
at the date of calculation.
j) Expenditures for exploration and evaluation of mineral resources, mine development and
mining operations – The Corporation has defined an accounting policy for each of these
expenditures.
Development expenses for deposits under exploitation whose purpose is to maintain production levels
are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Exploration and evaluation costs such as: drillings of deposits, including expenses necessary to locate
new mineralized areas and engineering studies to determine their potential for commercial exploitation
are recognized in profit or loss, normally at the pre-feasibility stage.
Pre-operating and mine development expenses (normally after feasibility engineering is reached)
incurred during the execution of a project and until its start-up are capitalized and amortized in relation
to the future production of the mine. These costs include stripping of waste material, constructing the
mine’s infrastructure and other works carried out prior to the production phase.
Finally, costs for defining of new areas or deposit areas in exploitation and of mining operations (PP3.E)
are recognized in property, plant and equipment and are amortized through profit or loss over the
period during which the benefits are obtained.
k) Stripping costs – Costs incurred in removing mine waste materials (overburden) in open pits that
are in production, that provide access to mineral deposits, are recognized in property, plant and
equipment, when the following criteria set out in IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of
a Surface Mine are met:
– Itis probable that the future economic benefits associated with the stripping activity will flow to the
entity.
– Itis possible to identify the components of an ore body for which access has been improved as a
result of the stripping activity.
– The costs relating to that stripping activity can be measured reliably.
The amounts recognized in property, plant and equipment are depreciated according to the units of
production extracted from the ore body related to the specific stripping activity which generated this
amount.

1) Income taxes and deferred taxes – Codelco and its Chilean subsidiaries recognize annually income
taxes based on the net taxable income determined as per the standards established in the Income
Tax Law and Article 2 of D.L. 2398, as well as, the specific tax on mining referred to in Law 20026 of
2005. Its foreign subsidiaries recognize income taxes according to the tax regulations in each country.
In addition, Codelco’s taxable income in each period is subject to the tax regime established in Article
26 of D.L. No. 1350, which states that tax payments will be made on March, June, September and
December of each year, based on a provisional tax calculation.
Deferred taxes on temporary differences and other events that generate differences between the
accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are recognized in accordance with IAS 12 “Income
taxes.
Deferred taxes are also recognized for undistributed profits of subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures, originated by withholding tax rates on remittances of dividends paid out by such companies
to the Corporation.
m) Inventories – Inventories are measured at cost, when such does not exceed net realizable value. Net
realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of
completion and costs necessary to make the sale (¡,e,, marketing, sales and distribution expenses).
Costs of inventories are determined according to the following methods:
– Finished products and products in process: These inventories are measured at their average
production cost determined using the absorption costing method, including labor, depreciation of fixed
assets, amortization of intangibles and indirect costs of each period. Inventories of products in process
are classified in current and non-current, according to the normal cycle of operation.
– Materials in warehouse: These inventories are measured at their acquisition cost. The Corporation
estimates an allowance for obsolescence considering the turnover rate of slow-moving materials in the
warehouse.
– Materials in transit: These inventories are measured at cost incurred until the end of reporting period.
Any difference as a result of an estimate of net realizable value of the inventories lower than its carrying
amount is recognized in profit or loss.
n)Dividends – In accordance with Article 6 of D.L. 1350, the Corporation has a mandatory obligation to
distribute its net income as presented in the financial statements. The payment obligation is
recognized on an accrual basis.
o) Employee benefits – Codelco recognizes a provision for employee benefits when there is a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of services rendered by its employees.
The employment contracts stipulate, subject to compliance with certain conditions, the payment of an
employee termination indemnity when an employment contract ends. In general, this corresponds to

CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
one monthly salary per year of service and considers the components of the final remuneration which
are contractually defined as the basis for the indemnity. This employee benefit has been classified as
a defined benefit plan.
Codelco has also agreed to post-employment medical care benefits for certain employees, which are
paid based on a fixed percentage applied to the monthly taxable salary of employees covered by this
agreement. This employee benefit has been classified as a defined benefit plan.
These plans continue to be unfunded as of June 30, 2019.
The employee termination indemnity and the post-employment medical plan obligations are determined
using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each
reporting period. The defined benefit plan obligations recognized in the statement of financial position
represent the present value of the accrued obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized
immediately in other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
The Corporation’s management uses assumptions to determine the best estimate of these benefits.
The assumptions include an annual discount rate, expected increases in salaries and tumover rate,
among other factors.
In accordance with ¡ts operating optimization programs to reduce costs and increase labor productivity
by incorporating new current technologies and/or better management practices, the Corporation has
established employee retirement programs by amending certain employment contracts or collective
union agreements to include benefits encouraging employees to early retire. Accordingly, these
arrangements are accounted for as termination benefits and required accruals are established based
on the accrued obligation at current value. In case of employee retirement programs which involve
multi-year periods, the accrued obligations are updated using a discount rate determined based on
financial instruments denominated in the same currency and similar maturities that will be used to pay
the obligations.
p) Provisions for decommissioning and site restoration costs – The Corporation is obliged to incur
decommissioning and site restoration costs when such site restoration or decommissioning is
required due to a legal or constructive obligation. Costs are estimated on the basis of a formal closure
plan and cost estimates are annually reviewed.
A provision is recognized for decommissioning and site restoration costs. The amount of the provision
is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The provision
is initially recognized with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related assets.
The provision for decommissioning and site restoration costs is accreted over time to reflect the
unwinding of the discount with the accretion expense included in finance costs in the statement of
income. The carrying amount of the related asset is depreciated over its useful life.

CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Changes in the measurement of the decommissioning and site restoration provision that result from
changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
required to settle the obligation, or a change in the discount rate, are added to, or deducted from, the
cost of the related assets in the period when changes occurred. The amount deducted from the cost of
the related assets cannot exceed its carrying amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying
amount of the asset, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
If the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of an asset, the Corporation considers whether this
is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. If such an
indicator exists, the Corporation tests the asset for impairment by estimating its recoverable amount,
and recognizes an impairment loss, if any.
The effects of the updating of the liability, due to the effect of the discount rate and / or passage of time,
is recorded as a financial expense.
q) Leases
Leases as of January 1, 2019 – Effective January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 Leases becomes effective, for
which the Corporation evaluates its contracts at initial application to determine whether they contain a
lease. The Corporation recognizes an asset for right of use and a corresponding liability for lease with
respect to all lease agreements in which Codelco is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined
as a lease with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. For these leases,
the Corporation recognizes lease payments as an operating cost on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the
economic benefits of the leased assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not been
paid at the commencement date, discounted using the implicit lease rate. If this rate cannot be easily
determined, the Corporation uses the incremental loan rate.
The incremental rate for loans used by Codelco is determined by estimating the interest rate that the
Corporation would have to pay for borrowing the necessary funds to obtain an asset of an equivalent
nature similar value to the asset by right of use of the respective lease, in a similar economic
environment over a similar term.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability mainly include fixed payments,
variable payments that depend on an index or a rate and the exercise price of a purchase option.
Variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are excluded.
The lease liability is subsequently measured as follows: the carrying amount increased to reflect the
interest on the lease liability (using the effective rate method) and the carrying amount is reduced to
reflect the lease payments made.
F-26
CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The Corporation revalues the lease liability as to the discount rate (and makes the corresponding
adjustments to the asset for respective right of use) when:
– There is a change in the term of the lease or;
– There is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset or;
– There is a change in an index or rate which generates a change in cash flows.
The right-of-use assets include the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, the lease
payments made before or until the start date less the lease incentives received and any initial direct
costs incurred less any costs of dismantlement (if applicable — see above). The assets for right to use
are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses due to
impairment.
When the Corporation incurs a cost obligation to dismantle or remove a leased asset, restore the
location in which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and
conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 37. Costs are
included in the corresponding asset for right of use, unless those costs are incurred to produce
inventories.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated during the shorter period between the term of the lease and
the useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers the ownership of the underlying asset or the
cost of the asset for right of use reflects that the Corporation expects to exercise ¡ts option to purchase,
the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Depreciation is made
from the start date of the lease.
The assets for right of use and the lease liability are presented under “Property, plant and equipment”
and “Other financial liabilities”, respectively, in the interim consolidated statement of financial position.
Leases until December 31, 2018- Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the
lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Corporation. All other leases
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease costs are recognized as an expense on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets at the inception of the lease at either
their fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments (discounted at the interest rate
implicit in the lease), whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs and
reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of return on the remaining balance of
the liability. Lease obligations are included in other current or non-current liabilities, as appropriate.
In accordance with IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, an arrangement
is, or contains a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or
assets and if the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly
specified.

r) Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services.
– — Sale of mineral goods and / or by-products: Contracts with customers for the sale of mineral
goods and / or by-products include the performance obligation for the delivery of the physical goods
and the associated transportation service, at the place agreed with the customers. The Corporation
recognizes revenue from the sale of goods at the time control of the asset is transferred to the
customer, according to the shipment or dispatch of the products, in accordance with the agreed
conditions, such revenue being subject to variations related to the content and / or sale price at
the date of its liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are some contracts where control
is transferred substantially to the client based on the receipt of the product instead of the buyer’s
corresponding destination, thus recognizing revenue at the time of said transfer. When services of
transport of goods are provided, the Corporation recognizes revenue when the service obligation
is satisfied.
Sales that have discounts associated with volume subject to compliance with goals are recognized
net, estimating the probability that the volume target will be reached.
Sales contracts include a provisional price at the shipment date. The final price is generally based
on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) price. Revenue from sales of copper is measured using
estimates of the future spread of metal prices on the LME and/or the spot price at the date of
shipment, with subsequent adjustments made upon final pricing recognized as revenue. The terms
of sales contracts with customers contain provisional pricing arrangements whereby the selling
price for metal concentrate is based on prevailing spot prices on a specified future date after
shipment to the customer (the “quotation period”). Consequently, the final price is set at the dates
indicated in the contracts. Adjustments to provisional sale prices occur based on movements in
quoted market prices on the LME up to the date of final pricing. The period between provisional
invoicing and final pricing is typically between one and nine months. Changes in fair value over the
quotation period and until final pricing are estimated by reference to forward market prices for
applicable metals.
In terms of hedge accounting established by IFRS 9, the Corporation has opted to continue
applying the hedge accounting requirements of the IAS 39 instead of the requirements of the new
standard. Therefore, the generated no effects both at the level of account balances or at the level
of disclosures.
Sales in the Chilean market are recognized in conformity with the regulations that govern domestic
sales as indicated in Articles 7, 8 and 9 of Law No. 16624, modified by Article 15 of Decree Law
No. 1349 of 1976, on the determination of sales prices for the internal market which does not differ
from IFRS 15.
As indicated in the note related to hedging policies in the market of metal derivatives, the
Corporation enters into operations in the market of metal derivatives. Gains and losses from those
which are fair value hedges contracts are recognized as revenues.

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
– — Rendering of services: Additionally, the Corporation recognizes revenue for rendering services,
which are mainly related to the processing of minerals bought from third parties. Revenue from
rendering of services is recognized when the amounts can be measured reliably and when the
services have been provided.
s) Derivative contracts – Codelco uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the risk of fluctuations
in sales prices of its products and of exchange rates.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and
are subsequently measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash
flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the item
“Cash flow hedge reserve.” The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized
in profit or loss, and included in the “Finance cost” or “Finance income” line items. Amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss
in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the effect for the
fluctuation in the recognized hedged item.
A hedge relationship is considered highly effective when changes in fair value or in cash flows of the
underlying item directly attributable to the hedged risk are offset by changes in fair value or cash flows
of the hedging instrument, with an effectiveness ranging from 80% to 125%. Changes in fair value
accumulated in other comprehensive income are subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss
in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Upon discontinuation
of hedge accounting and depending on the circumstances, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging
instrument remains in equity until the hedged transaction occurs or, if the hedged transaction is not
expected to occur, the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or
loss.
The total fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as “non-current financial asset or liability”, if the
remaining maturity of the hedged item is greater than 12 months, and as “current financial asset or
liability”, if the remaining maturity of the hedged item ¡is less than 12 months.
The derivative contracts held by the Corporation have been entered into to apply the risk hedging
policies and are accounted for as indicated below:
– — Hedging policies for exchange rate risk: The Corporation enters into exchange rate derivatives
to hedge exchange rate variations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of transactions the
Corporation undertakes. In accordance with the policies established by the Board of Directors, these
hedge transactions are only entered into when there are recognized assets or liabilities, forecasts
of highly probable transactions or firm commitments. The Corporation does not enter into derivative
transactions for non-hedging purposes.

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
– — Hedging policies for metal market prices risk: In accordance with the policies established by the
Board of Directors, the Corporation entered into derivative contracts to reduce the inherent risks in
the fluctuations of metal prices.
The hedging policies seek to cover expected cash flows from the sale of products by fixing the sale
prices for a portion of future production. When the sales agreements are fulfilled and the derivative
contracts are settled, the results from sales and derivative transactions are offset in profit or loss in
revenue,
Hedging transactions carried out by the Corporation in the metal derivatives market are not
undertaken for speculative purposes.
– Embedded derivatives: The Corporation has established a procedure that allows for evaluation of
the existence of embedded derivatives in financial and non-financial contracts. Where there is an
embedded derivative, and the host contract is not a financial instrument and the characteristics and
risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract, the derivative ¡is
required to be recognized separately.
t) Financial information by segment – The Corporation has defined its Divisions as its operating
segments in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The mining deposits
in operation, where the Corporation conducts its extractive and processing activities are managed by
the following Divisions: Chuquicamata, Radomiro Tomic, Ministro Hales, Gabriela Mistral, Salvador,
Andina and El Teniente, In addition, the smelting and refining activities are managed at the Ventanas
Division. All these Divisions have a separate operational management, which reports to the Chief
Executive Officer, through the North and South Central Vice-President of Operations, respectively.
Income and expenses of the Head Office are allocated to the defined operating segments.
u)Presentation of Financial Statements – The Corporation presents (i) its statements of financial
position classified as “current and non-current”, (ii) profit or loss or loss and other comprehensive
income in one statement and the classification of expenses within profit or loss by function, and (iii)
its statement of cash flows using the direct method.
v) Current and non-current financial assets – The Corporation determines the classification of its
financial assets at the time of initial recognition. The classification depends on the business model in
which the investments are managed and the contractual characteristics of their cash flows.
The Corporation’s financial assets are classified into the following categories:
– Fair value through profit or loss:
Initial recognition: This category includes those financial assets not qualifying under the categories
of Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income or Amortized Cost. These instruments are
initially recognized at fair value.
F-30
CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Subsequent recognition: Their subsequent recognition is at fair value, recording in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, in the line “Other gains (losses)” any changes in fair value.
Amortized cost:
Initial recognition: This category includes those instruments with respect to which the objective of
the business model of the Corporation is to hold the financial instrument to collect contractual cash
flows and such cash flows consist of solely payments of principal and interest. This category
includes certain Trade and other current receivables, and the loans included in other non-current
financial assets.
Subsequent recognition: These instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest method. The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the
financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative
amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and
the maturity amount, adjusted for any impairment allowance.
Codelco did not irrevocably choose to designate any of its investment assets at fair value with effect
on other comprehensive income.
Interest income ¡is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated by applying the effective interest
rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. For financial assets measured at amortized
cost that are not part of a designated hedging relationship, exchange differences are recognized in
profit or loss in the “Foreign exchange difference” line item.
At fair value through other comprehensive income:
Initial measurement: Financial assets that meet the criteria “Solely payments of principal and
interest” (SPPI) are classified in this category and must be maintained within a business model both
to collect the cash flows and to sell the financial assets. These instruments are initially recognized
at fair value.
Subsequent recognition: Their subsequent valuation is at fair value. Interest income calculated
using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are
recognized in income. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On derecognition, the gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to income.
w)Financial liabilities – Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs.
Subsequent to their initial recognition, the valuation of the financial liabilities will depend on their
classification, within which the following categories are distinguished:
– — Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: This category includes financial
liabilities defined as held for trading.
F-31
CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Changes in fair value associated with own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive
income.
– — Financial liabilities at amortized cost: This category includes all financial liabilities other than
those measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Corporation includes in this category bonds, obligations and other current payables.
These financial liabilities are measured using the effective interest rate method, recognizing
interest expense based on the effective rate.
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial
liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of
the financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial
recognition.
Trade and other current payables are financial liabilities that do not explicitly accrue interest
and are recognized at their nominal value, which approximates its fair value.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the liabilities are paid or expire.
x) Impairment of financial assets – The Corporation measures the loss allowance at an amount equal
to lifetime expected credit losses for its certain of its trade receivables. For this, it uses the simplified
approach as a requirement under IFRS 9.
The provision matrix is based on an entity’s historical credit loss experience over the expected life of
such trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates taking into account the most
relevant macroeconomic factors that affect bad debts.
y) Cash and cash equivalents and statement of cash flows prepared using the direct method – The
statement of cash flows reflects changes in cash and cash equivalents that took place during the
period, determined under the direct method. For the purposes of preparing the statement of cash
flows, the Corporation has defined the following:
– Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash or cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid
investments maturing in less than three months with a low risk of changes in value.
– — Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the Corporation and other
activities that are not investing or financing activities.
– Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments
not included in cash equivalents.

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
– — Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of net equity
and borrowings of the Corporation.
Bank overdrafts are classified as external resources in current liabilities.
z) Law No. 13196 – Law No. 13196 requires the payment of a 10% special export tax on receivables of
the sales proceeds that Codelco receives and transfers to Chile from the export of copper and related
by-products produced by Codelco. The Chilean Central Bank deducts 10% of the amounts that
Codelco transferred to its Chilean bank account. The amount recognized for this concept is presented
in the statement of income within line item other expenses.
On January 27, 2017, Law No. 20989, article 3, establishes changes in the application of Law No.
13196 as of January 1, 2018, through which the Corporation will deposit annually, no later than
December 15 of each year, the funds established in article 1 in that law.
aa) Cost of sales – Cost of sales is determined according to the absorption costing method, including the
direct and indirect costs, depreciation, amortization and any other expenses directly attributable to
the production process.
ab) Environment – The Corporation adheres to the principles of sustainable development, which foster
the economic development while safekeeping the environment and the health and safety of its
collaborators. The Corporation recognizes that these principles are central for the well-being of its
collaborators, care for the environment and success in its operations.
ac) Classification of current and non-current balances – In the consolidated statement of financial
position, the balances are classified according to their maturities, that is, as current for those with a
maturity equal to or less than twelve months and as non-current for those with a greater maturity.
Where there are obligations whose maturity is less than twelve months, but whose long-term
refinancing is insured upon a decision by the Corporation whose intention is to refinance, through
credit agreements available unconditionally with long-term maturity, these could be classified as non-
current liabilities.
ad) Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposition classified as held for sale: The
Corporation classifies as non-current assets or groups of assets for disposal, classified as held for
sale, properties, plants and equipment, investments in associates and groups subject to
expropriation (group of assets that are going to be disposed of together with their directly related
liabilities), for which, at the closing date of the financial statements, their sale has been committed
to or steps have been initiated and it is estimated that it will be carried out within the twelve months
following said date. These assets or groups subject to disposal are valued at book value or the
estimated sale value minus the costs necessary for sale, whichever is less, and are no longer
amortized from the moment they are classified as non-current assets held for sale. Non-current
assets or groups of assets for disposal classified as held for sale and the components of the groups
subject to disposal classified as held for sale are presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position on a line for each of the following concepts: “Non-current assets or groups of assets for

New standards and interpretations adopted by the Corporation
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Corporation’s annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of new standards,
interpretations and amendmenkts, effective from January 1, 2019, which are:
a) IFRS 16, Lease:
In the current period, the Corporation has applied IFRS 16 Leases for the first time.
IFRS 16 introduces new or modified requirements with respect to the accounting for leases. lt introduces
significant changes to lease accounting for lessees by removing the distinction between operating and
financial leases; requires the recognition, at the outset, of an asset for right to use and a lease liability for all
leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. In contrast to the accounting for the
lessee, the requirements for the accounting of the lessor remain largely unchanged. Details of these new
requirements are described in Chapter Il, note 2, letter q Leases. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 in
the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation is described below.
The initial application date of IFRS 16 for the Corporation is January 1, 2019.
The Corporation has applied IFRS 16 with the cumulative effect of the initial application of the standard,
recognized as of January 1, 2019. Consequently, it has not restated the comparative financial information.
Impact of the new definition of a lease
The change in the definition of a lease is mainly related to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines
whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the client has the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.
Impact on the accounting of leases
Operating Leases – IFRS 16 changes with respect to how the Corporation accounts for leases previously
classified as operating leases under IAS 17, which, with this change, are recognized in the assets and
liabilities of the statement of financial position.
The Corporation has re-evaluated all of its contracts at the date of initial application. . As a result of the
foregoing, leases have been re-assessed in accordance with the new requirements of IFRS 16.

Transition rules
As of the transition date of January 1, 2019, the Corporation recognizes its leases with the accumulated
effect on the date of initial application, opting to recognize a right to use asset equal to the lease liability.
Practical expedients applied in the transition to operating leases
– Discount rate applied to a lease portfolio;
– Short-term lease exemption for those contracts whose term ends within twelve months from January
1,2019;
– Review of onerousness according to evaluation of onerous contracts under IAS 37 as an alternative to
a deterioration review;
– Measurement of right-of-use assets at lease liability amount at date of initial application;

that under lAS 17 and IFRIC 4, had not been identified as leases. As a result of the foregoing, leases
have been included in accordance with the new requirements of IFRS 16.
b) IFRIC 23 Uncertainty about treatment of income tax
IFRIC 23 establishes how to determine a tax position when there is uncertainty about the treatment for
income tax. For this determination, the steps are as follows:
i. determine if uncertain tax positions should be evaluated separately or as a whole;
li. evaluate if the tax authority is likely to accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be
used, by an entity in its tax returns:
– Ifacceptable, the entity must determine its accounting tax position in a manner consistent with the tax
treatment used or planned to be used in its tax return.
– Ifuncertain, the entity must reflect the effect of uncertainty in the determination of its accounting tax
position.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The Corporation adopted IFRIC 23 under the modified retrospective application option without re-
expression of comparative information.
The application of IFRIC 23 has not materially affected the consolidated financial statements of Codelco.
c) Amendments to IFRS 9, Features of prepayment with negative compensation
The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that for purposes of evaluating whether a prepaid feature meets the
condition of cash flows that are only principal and interest payments (SPPI), the party exercising the
option could pay or receive reasonable compensation for the prepayment regardless of the reason for
the prepayment. The application of these amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation, however it could affect the accounting of future transactions or
agreements.
d) Amendments to IAS 28, Long-term investments in associates and joint ventures
The amendments clarify that when applying IFRS 9 to long-term investments, an entity does not take
into account the adjustments to its carrying amounts required by IAS 28. The application of these
amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation, however, it
could affect the accounting of future transactions or agreements.
e) Amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
The amendmenkts clarify that the past service cost (or of the gain or loss on settlement) is calculated by
measuring the defined benefit liability (asset) using updated assumptions and comparing benefits offered
and plan assets before and after the plan amendment (or curtailment or settlement) but ignoring the
effect of the asset ceiling (that may arise when the defined benefit plan is in a surplus position). IAS 19
is now clear that the change in the effect of the asset ceiling that may result from the plan amendment
(or curtailment or settlement) is determined in a second step and ¡is recognized in the normal manner in
other comprehensive income. The amendments to lAS 19 require the use of updated actuarial
assumptions to remeasure the service cost and the net interest for the remainder of the reporting period
after the change to the plan. The application of these amendments had no impact on the consolidated
financial statements of the Corporation, however it could affect the accounting of future transactions or
agreements.
f) Annual improvements cycle 2015 – 2017 (amendments to IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and lAS 23)
– Amendments to IFRS 3 and IFRS 11: Adds paragraphs on treatment for acquisitions in
participations previously held in a joint operation.
– Amendments to lAS 12: Add paragraph on treatment of taxes related to dividends payable.
– Amendments to lAS 23: Modify wording on application of the capitalization rate.
The application of these amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the
Corporation, however it could affect the accounting of future transactions or agreements.

deduction from the line item trade and other current receivables.
– For those customers that do not have due balances with the Corporation the accrual is presented
in the line item trade and other current payables.
When the future copper price is higher than the provisional invoicing price, the accrual is added to the

Balance and transactions with related parties
a)
Transactions with related persons
In accordance with Law on New Corporate Governance, the members of Codelco’s Board are, in terms
of transactions with related persons, subject to the provisions of Title XVI of Law on Corporations,
which sets the requirements regarding transactions with related parties in publicly traded companies
and their subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the provisions of the final paragraph of Article 147 b) of Title
XVI, which contains exceptions to the approval process for transactions with related parties, the
Corporation has established a general policy over customary transactions (which was informed
through a significant event notice to the CMF), that defines customary transactions as those carried
out with its related parties in the normal course of business, which contributes to the social interest and
are necessary to the normal development of Codelco’s activities.
Likewise, consistent with the legal framework, the Corporation maintains within its internal framework
a specific policy about transactions between related persons and companies with Codelco’s
employees. Codelco’s Corporate Policy No.18 (*CCP No. 18”), the latest version currently in force, was
approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors.
Accordingly, Codelco without the authorization required in CCP No. 18 and of the Board of Directors,
when required by Law or by the Corporation by-laws, shall not enter into any contracts or agreements
involving one or more Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, the members of Division’s Managing
Committees, Vice-presidents, Legal Counsel, General Auditor, Division Chief Executive Officers,
Advisors of Senior Management, employees who must make recommendations and/or have the
authority to award tenders, assignments of purchases and/or contracting goods and services, and
employees in management positions (up to fourth hierarchical level in the organization), including their
spouses, children and other relatives up to second degree of relation, with a direct interest, represented
by third parties or on behalf of another person. Likewise, CCP No. 18 requires administrators of
Corporation’s contracts to declare all related persons, and disqualify himself/herself if any related
persons are involved within the field of his/her job responsibilities.

The Board of Directors has been informed and approved certain transactions as defined in CCP No.

Investments in associates acquired
On August 24, 2012, Codelco recognized the acquisition of ownership interest in Anglo American Sur
S.A. which resulted in the initial recognition of the cost of the investment for ThUS$6,490,000 that
corresponded to the proportionate share (29.5%) of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities acquired.
In determining the share of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, the
Corporation considered the resources and mineral reserves that could be measured reliably and the
assessment of intangibles and all other considerations about contingent assets and liabilities.
The allocation of the purchase price at fair value between the identifiable assets and liabilities was
prepared by management using its best estimate and taking into account all relevant and available
information at the acquisition date of Anglo American Sur S.A.
The acquisition did not result in obtaining control of the acquired company.
The Corporation used a discounted cash flows model to estimate cash flow projections, based on the
life of mine. These projections were based on estimated production and future prices of minerals,
operating costs and capital costs, among other estimates made at the date of acquisition. Additionally,
proven and probable resources to explore were not included in the mine plan, therefore, they were
valued separately using a market model. Such resources are included in item “Mineral Resources.”
As part of this process and by applying the valuation criteria indicated above, the fair value of the net
assets of Anglo American Sur S.A. was US$22,646 million, therefore the proportionate share acquired
by Inversiones Mineras Becrux SpA (29.5%) was equivalent to US$6,681 million at the acquisition date.
Additional information on impairment of investments accounted for using the equity method
As of December 31, 2015, the Corporation identified indicators of impairment in the operating units of
Anglo American Sur S.A. Consequently, and with the purpose of making the corresponding
adjustments to the investment in this associate, the Corporation estimated its recoverable amount.
In determining the recoverable amount, the Corporation applied the methodology of fair value less
costs of disposal. The recoverable amount of the operating units was determined based on the life of
mine by using a discounted cash flow model whose main assumptions included ore reserves declared
by the associate, copper price, supply costs, foreign exchange rates, discount rate and market
information for the long-term asset valuation. The discount rate used was annual rate of 8% after taxes.
Furthermore, the proven reserves not included in the LOM, as well as the probable reserves to explore,
have been valued using a multiples market approach for comparable transactions. Such methodology
is consistent with the methodologies used at the acquisition date, which is described in letter c) above.
The recoverable amount as estimated was less than the carrying amount of the identified assets of the
associate, therefore, the Corporation recognized an impairment loss of ThUS$2,439,495, which was

included within the line item “Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using
the equity method” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended
December 31, 2015. The impairment loss was mainly attributable to the drop in copper prices during
the year 2015.
Subsequent to recognition of the impairment, there has been no indicators requiring the recognition of
further impairment losses on the recoverable amount of the investment held in Anglo American Sur
S.A.
As of December 31, 2016, the parent company of Anglo American Sur S.A. reviewed the discounted
cash flow model of its cash generating units (CGU), determining an impairment loss for the El Soldado
CGU of US$200 million due to the uncertainty related to obtaining the required approval of its
operational plan from the National Mining and Geology Service (“SERNAGEOMIN” in its Spanish
acronym), which raised questions about the generation of future economic benefits to support the value
of the assets related to such CGU.
Consequently, and with the purpose of making the corresponding adjustments to the recognition its
investment in the associate, the Corporation estimated its recoverable amount by considering the fair
value of the identified net assets of the associate El Soldado. The recoverable amount as estimated
was less than the carrying amount of the identified assets of the associate, therefore, the Corporation
recognized an impairment loss of ThUS$78,811 over the identified assets related to El Soldado
operations, which was included within the line item “Share of profit or loss of associates and joint
ventures accounted for using the equity method” in the statement of comprehensive income for the
year ended December 31, 2016.
On April 27, 2017, the SERNAGEOMIN approved the updated mine plan for El Soldado, based on this
resolution Anglo American Sur S.A. has resumed the operations of the mine. Consequently, the
company recognized a reversal of an impairment loss for US$193 million.
As of December 31, 2017, Codelco made a corresponding adjustment to the identified assets at the
acquisition date of the investment associated with El Soldado operations by recognizing a reversal of
an impairment loss of ThUS$67,277, which is presented in the line item “Share of profit or loss of
associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.”
As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, there are no indicators of impairment and reverse, therefore, there have
been no adjustments recognized to the carrying amounts of the assets.
Share of profit or loss for the year
The share in profit or loss of the associate Anglo American Sur S.A. recognized for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2019 was income of ThUS$17,283 (income of ThUS$67,462 for the periods
ended June 30, 2018). In addition, the Corporation has made appropriate adjustments to its share of
profit or loss in the associate for depreciation of the depreciable assets based on the fair values at the
acquisition date, which resulted in an expense of ThUS$6,841 for the six-month periods ended June
30, 2019 (an expense of ThUS$6,315 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018) recognized

Loans from financial institutions:
The loans obtained by the Corporation aim to finance production operations oriented towards the foreign
market.
On August 23, 2012, the subsidiary Inversiones Gacrux SpA (Gacrux) signed a credit agreement with
Oriente Copper Netherlands BV (a subsidiary of Mitsui 8 Co, Ltd, (“Mitsui”)) for approximately US$1,863
million, renewable monthly until November 26, 2012, after which, if not paid or renegotiated, will
automatically become a loan with a 7.5 year maturity from the date of disbursement, and an annual rate
Libor + 2.5%. This loan has no underlying guarantees given by Codelco.
The proceeds from the loan were used by Codelco’s indirect subsidiary Inversiones Mineras Becrux SpA
to acquire 24.5% ofthe shares of Anglo American Sur S.A., including other acquisition-related expenses.
On October 31, 2012, the credit agreement was amended, the new terms established an annual fixed
interest rate of 3.25% and a 20-year maturity, to be paid in 40 semi-annual installments of principal and
interest, and maintaining the “non-recourse” (no underlying guarantee) condition. Under previous
agreements, Mitsui is entitled to an additional interest equivalent to one-third of the savings obtained by
Gacrux under the renegotiated credit as compared to the conditions from the credit agreement originally
signed. Thus, Mitsui (through its subsidiary) held an option to acquire from Gacrux an additional 15.25%
of the shares of Inversiones Mineras Acrux SpA (“Acrux””), at a fixed price of approximately US$998
million. These funds were fully allocated to a portion of Gacrux’s debt under the Credit Agreement.
On November 26, 2012, Mitsui exercised the call option and acquired the additional ownership interest
in Acrux. The proceeds received were used by Codelco to partially pre-pay the debt with Mitsui.
On November 26, 2016, Codelco signed a credit agreement with Oriente Copper Netherlands BV
renegotiating the payment of principal at the end of the contract. The terms established an annual interest
rate of Libor +2.5% with a 5 year maturity to be payable in one installment at maturity with semi-annual
interest payment.
On May 26, 2017, Codelco signed a credit agreement with Oriente Copper Netherlands BV renegotiating
the semi-annual payment. The terms established an annual interest rate of Libor +2.5% with a 5 year
maturity to be payable in one installment at maturity with semi-annual interest payment.
The credit agreements obtained in 2016 and 2017, mentioned above, were paid on May 23, 2018.
As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of the credit agreements is TRUS$611,512.

Fair Value of financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of financial assets is a reasonable approximation to their fair value, therefore, no
additional disclosures are required in accordance with IFRS 7 with respect thereto.
Regarding financial liabilities, the following table shows a comparison as of June 30, 2019 between the
carrying amount and the fair value of financial liabilities other than those whose carrying amount is a
reasonable approximation of fair value.

Fair value hierarchy
The estimated fair value for the Corporation’s portfolio of financial instruments is based on valuation
techniques and observable inputs. Considering the hierarchy of the data used in these valuation techniques,
the assets and liabilities measured at fair value can be classified into the following levels:
+» Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+ Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or
liabilities, either directly (i,e, as prices) or indirectly (i,e, derived from prices).
+ Level 3: Inputs are significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

19. Employee benefits
a. Provisions for post-employment benefits and other long term benefits
Provision for post-employment benefits mainly corresponds to employee severance indemnities and
medical care plans. The provision for severance indemnities recognizes the contractual obligation that
the Corporation has with its employees/retirees regardless of the reason for employee’s departure. The
provision for medical care plans recognizes the contractual obligation that the Corporation has with its
retirees/employees to cover their medical care costs.
Both long-term employee benefits are stated in the terms of employment contracts and collective
bargaining agreements as agreed to by the Corporation and its employees.
These defined benefit liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position, at the present value
of the defined benefit obligation. The discount rate applied is determined by reference to the market
yields of government bonds in the same currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit
obligations.
The defined benefit obligations are denominated in Chilean pesos, therefore the Corporation is exposed
to foreign exchange rate risk.
Actuarial gains and losses resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions and experience adjustments
are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, there were no significant changes in post-employment
benefits plans.
The following actuarial assumptions were used in the actuarial calculation of the defined benefit plans:

charged to equity, which consists of an actuarial loss of ThUS$3,676, corresponding primarily to a
change in financial assumptions.
For the obligation generated by health benefit plans, an actuarial gain of ThUS$149 has been
determined, consisting of an adjustment for experience loss.
The balance of the defined benefit liability as of June 30, 2019, comprises a short term portion of
ThUS$24,036 and ThUS$496 for the termination indemnities plan and the medical care plan,
respectively. The expected amount of the defined benefit liability projected at June 30, 2020, consists of
ThUS$889,448 for the termination indemnities plan and ThUS$485,022 for the medical care plan. The
expected monthly average future disbursements related to defined benefit plans are of TRUS$2,003 for
termination indemnities and of ThUS$41 for medical care.

c. Retirement benefits and conflict termination bonus
The Corporation under its operational optimization programs seeks to reduce costs and increase labor
productivity, and through the incorporation of modern technologies and/or best management practices
has established employee retirement programs by making corresponding modifications to employment
contracts or collective bargaining agreements, with benefits encouraging early retirement. The early
retirement plans are recognized as a liability and expense as the Corporation can no longer withdraw
the offer of those benefits.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the termination benefits current balance was ThUS$5,654
and ThUS$17,620, respectively, while the non-current balance was ThUS$8,760 and ThUS$8,355,
respectively. The non-current portion is associated with the provision related to the term of the collective
bargaining process that Codelco’s management negotiated during the month of December 2012 with the
employee unions of the Chuquicamata Division. The non-current amounts recognized have been
discounted using a discount rate equivalent to that used for calculating employee benefits provisions and
whose outstanding balances are part of the balances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

20. Equity
The Corporation’s total equity as of June 30, 2019 is TRUS$11,564,914 (ThUS$11,343,869 as of December
31, 2018 and ThUS$11,911,482 as of June 30, 2018).
In accordance with article 6 of Decree Law 1350 of 1976, it is established that, before March 30 of each
year, the Board must approve the Corporation’s Business and Development Plan for the next three-year
period. Taking that plan as a reference, and keeping in mind the Corporation’s balance sheet for the
immediately preceding year and aiming to ensure its competitiveness, before June 30 of each year the
amounts that the Corporation shall allocate to the formation of capitalization funds and reserves shall be
determined by decree from the Ministries of Mining and Treasury.
Net income shown in the balance sheets, after deducting the amounts referred to in the previous paragraph,
shall belong to the State and becomes part of the Nation’s general income.
Pursuant to the Exempt Decree No. 184 of June 27, 2014 of the Ministry of Finance, the Corporation was
authorized to capitalize US$200 million of the net profit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2013.
Those resources were charged to the profits of 2014.
On October 24, 2014, the President of the Republic of Chile signed Law No. 20790. Such Law sets forth an
extraordinary capital contribution of up to US$3 billion for the Corporation during the period of 2014-2018.
The resources obtained from such capital contribution, together with the capitalization of the profits obtained
during such period — up to US$800 million — generated in that period, will serve to boost the Investment
Plan in mining projects, sustainability, mining development and renewal of equipment and industrial plants.
At December 31, 2014, there were no capitalized resources under such statute.
Pursuant to the Exempt Finance Decree (Decree No. 197 of December 31, 2015 issued by the Ministry of
Finance), the Corporation was authorized to capitalize US$225 million of the net profit registered in the
financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Those resources were to be taken from the profits for year 2015 for their capitalization.
Pursuant to the ORD Finance Ministry Officio No. 1410 dated on May 27, 2016, it was established that the
aforementioned Decree confirms the impossibility of capitalizing the aforementioned US$225 million,
consequently the capitalization fund comprised of said amount was reversed.
On October 28, 2015, it was reported that after reviewing the Development Business Plan 2014-2018 for
Codelco, it was decided to make a capital contribution of US$600 million that was made effective on
December 2, 2015.
On December 1, 2016, it was informed that, pursuant to Article 1 of Law No. 20790, it was decided to make
an extraordinary capital contribution of US$500 million, which was made effective on December 28, 2016.
Both capital contributions were funded by the Public Treasury through the sale of financial assets.
On January 27, 2017, Law No. 20989 on extraordinary capitalization was enacted. The Law authorizes the
transferring of funds from application of the Copper Reserved Law to the Public Treasury, allowing an
extraordinary capitalization to Codelco of up to US$950 million for year 2017 aiming to reduce Codelco’s
indebtedness in an amount equivalent to the difference between the funds transferred as required by the
Reserved Law No. 13196 and cash flow surpluses obtained by the Corporation.
On March 13, 2017, through Decree No. 322 an extraordinary capital contribution was authorized under
Article 2 of Law No. 20989, for a total amount of US$475 million. The capital contribution was made effective
on April 13, 2017.
By Exempt Decree of Treasury No. 1698, dated November 17, 2017, in accordance with the provisions of
Article 1 of Law No. 20790, it was decided to make an extraordinary contribution of capital for an amount of
US$520 million, which were recorded on December 22, 2017.
On October 16, 2018, the Ministry of Finance issued Exempt Decree 311 in which it has an extraordinary
capital contribution for Codelco pursuant to Law No. 20,790 of US $ 1,000 million, which will be made in a
first part for US $ 600 million and in a second part for US $ 400 million, and that will be transferred in
installments that will not be timed later than December 31, 2018 and February 28, 2019 respectively.
On December 26, 2018 the Corporation received the first part of the contribution to capital for US $ 600
million.
On February 26, 2019 the Corporation received the second part of the contribution to capital for US $ 400
million.
As of 2019, the Corporation has established that dividend payments will not be made as long as there are
prepayments of dividends paid in excess.

Impairment of Assets
As of June 30, 2019, there are no indications of impairment evaluation in the Corporation.
As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation made a calculation of the recoverable amount of its cash
generating unit Ventanas Division, for the purpose of checking the existence of a deterioration in the value
of the assets associated with said division, the carrying amount of which amounted to US$323 million.
The aforementioned calculation of the recoverable amount determined a value of US$124 million, which
compared with the amount in books, implied an acknowledgment of an impairment loss of assets for
ThUS$198,898 (before tax), which was recorded in the Other ¡item expenses by function, of the
comprehensive income statement for the year 2018.

The recoverable amount determined for the calculation of the impairment loss corresponds to value in use
using a 7.2% annual discount rate before taxes. The main variables used to determine the recoverable
amount of this asset correspond to the price of acid, cost of treatment and refining, exchange rates and
discount rates.
The aforementioned loss due to impairment is mainly generated by the fall in the costs of treatment and
refining.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there are no signs of additional deterioration or reversals of
impairment recognized in previous years.

29. Financial risk management, objectives and policies
Codelco has committees within its organization to set out strategies allowing to reduce the financial risks to
which it may be exposed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The risks to which Codelco is exposed and a brief description of the management procedures that are
carried out in each case, are described below:
a. Financial risks
Exchange rate risk:
According to IFRS 7, exchange rate risk is understood to be the risk that arises from financial
instruments that are denominated in foreign currencies, that is, a currency other than the
Corporation’s functional currency (US dollar).
Codelco’s activities that generate this exposure correspond to funding in UF, accounts payable and
receivable in Chilean pesos, other foreign currencies used in its business operations and obligations
with employees.
The majority of transactions in currencies other than US$ are denominated in Chilean pesos. Also,
there is another portion in Euro, which corresponds mainly to a long-term loan issued through the
international market, which exchange rate risk is mitigated with hedging instruments (Swap).
Taking into consideration the financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019 as the base, a
fluctuation (positive or negative) of 10 Chilean pesos against the U.S. dollar (keeping the other
variables constant), could affect profits before taxes by US$39 million in net income, respectively.
This result is obtained by identifying the main items (including assets and financial liabilities)
denominated in foreign currencies in order to measure the impact on profit or loss that a variation
of +/- 10 Chilean pesos would have in terms of US$, with respect to the closing exchange rate at the
end of the reporting period.
As of June 30, 2019 there are not time deposits denominated in Chilean pesos (ThUS$270,021 as of
December 31, 2018).
Interest rate risk:
This risk arises from interest rate fluctuations in Codelco’s investment and financing activities. This
movement can affect future cash flows or the market value of fixed rate financial instruments.
These rate variations refer to U.S. dollar variations, mostly with respect to the LIBOR rate. To manage
this risk, Codelco maintains an adequate combination of fixed and variable rate debt, which is
complemented by the possibility of using interest-rate derivatives to meet the strategic guidelines
defined by Codelco’s Corporate Finance Department.
It is estimated that, on the basis of net debt balance as of June 30, 2019, a 1% change in interest
rates on the financial liabilities subject to variable interest rates would mean approximately a US$10
million change in finance costs, before tax. This estimation is made by identifying the liabilities

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
assigned variable interest, accrued at the end of the financial statements, which may vary with a
change of one percentage point in variable interest rates.
Total fixed and variable interest rate obligations maintained by Codelco as of June 30, 2019
correspond to amounts of ThUS$12,798,298 and ThUS$2,320,393, respectively.
b. Market risks
– — Commodity price risk:
As a result of its commercial operations and activities, the Corporation’s income is mainly exposed
to the volatility of copper prices and certain sub-products such as gold and silver.
Copper and molybdenum concentrate sale agreements and copper cathode sale agreements
generally provide for provisional pricing of sales at the time of shipment, with final pricing based
on the monthly average market price for specified future periods. At the reporting date, the
provisionally priced metal sales are marked-to-market, with adjustments (both gains and losses)
being recorded in revenues in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Forward
prices at the period-end are used for copper sales, while period-end average prices are used for
molybdenum concentrate sales due to the absence of an assets futures market. (See Note 2.r)
“Income from Activities Ordinary Procedures from Contracts with Customers “of section II” Main
policies countable ”).
For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, if the future price of copper fluctuates by + / – 5%
(with the other variables constant), the result would vary + / – US$173 million before taxes as a
result of setting the mark to market of sales revenue to provisional prices in effect as of June 30,
2019 (MTMF 605). For the estimate indicated, all of those physical sales contracts were valued
according to the monthly average immediately following the close of the financial statements, and
proceeds to be estimated regarding what the final settlement price will be if there is a difference
of + / – 5% with respect to the future price known to date for this period.
In order to protect cash flow and adjust, where necessary, ¡ts sales contracts to its trade policy,
the Corporation holds operations in futures markets. At the end of the reporting period, these
contracts are adjusted to fair value, recording this effect, at the settlement date of the hedging
transactions as part of net product sales.
As of June 30, 2019, a variation of U.S. £ 1 in the price per pound of copper, considering
derivatives contracted by the Corporation, involves a change in income or payments for existing
contracts (exposures) of US$2,061 before taxes. This calculation is obtained from a simulation
curves of future copper prices, which are used to assess the subscribed derivative instruments by
the Corporation; estimations would vary with respect to the exposure related these instruments
¡if there is an increase of U.S. $0.01 decrease in the price per pound of copper.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The Corporation has not entered into any hedging transactions with the specific purpose of
hedging the price risk caused by fluctuations in prices of production inputs.
Cc. Liquidity risk
The Corporation ensures that it has sufficient resources, such as pre-approved credit lines (including
refinancing), in order to meet short-term requirements, after considering the necessary working capital
for its operations and any other commitments it has.
In this sense, Codelco Chile maintains resources at its disposal sufficient to meet its obligations,
whether in cash, liquid financial instruments or credit facilities.
In addition, the Finance Department constantly monitors the Corporation’s cash flow projections based
on short and long term projections and available financing alternatives. In addition, the Corporation
estimates that it has enough headroom to increase the level of borrowing for the normal requirements
of its operations and investments established in its development plan.
In this context, according to current existing commitments with creditors, the cash requirements to
cover financial liabilities classified by maturity and presented in the statement of financial position are
detailed as follows:
Less than Between one More than
Maturity of financial liabilities as of 6/30/2019 one year and five years five years

Other financial liabilities 451 61,365 –
Total 1,185,501 3,060,759 11,573,646
d. Credit risk
This risk comprises the possibility that a third party does not fulfill its contractual obligations, thereby
causing a loss for the Corporation.
Given the Corporation’s sales policy, principally with cash and advance payments and bank letters of
credit, the uncollectability of client debt balances is minimal. This is complemented by the familiarity
the Corporation has with its clients and the length of time it has operated with them. Therefore, the
credit risk of these transactions is not significant.
The indications with respect to the payment conditions to the Corporation are detailed in every sales
contract and the negotiation management is under the charge of the Vice Presidency of Marketing.

In general, the Corporation’s other accounts receivable have a high credit quality according to the
Corporation’s evaluations, based on each debtor’s solvency analysis and payment history.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2019 is represented by the financial asset items
presented in the Corporation’s Statement of Financial Position.
The Corporation’s accounts receivable do not include customers with balances that could be classified
as a significant concentration of debt and would represent a material exposure for Codelco. This
exposure is distributed among a large number of clients and other counterparties.
In the customer items, the provisions, which are not significant, are included based on the review of
the outstanding balances and characteristics of the clients, destined to cover eventual insolvencies.
In explanatory note 2, trade and other receivables presents past due balances that have not been
impaired.
The Corporation estimates that unimpaired amounts overdue over 30 days are recoverable based on
clients’ historical payment behavior and their existing credit ratings.
As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, there are no receivable balances that have been renegotiated.
Codelco works with major banks, which have high national and international ratings, and continually
assesses them; therefore, the risk that could affect the availability of the Corporation’s funds and
financial instruments is not significant.
Also, in some cases, to minimize credit risk, the Corporation has contracted credit insurance policies
through which it transfers to third parties the commercial risk associated with some aspects of its
business.
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, no guarantees have been executed to
ensure the collection of third party debt.
Personnel loans mainly related to mortgage loans, according to programs included in union
agreements, which are paid for through payroll discounts.
30. Derivatives contracts
The Corporation has entered into transactions to hedge cash flows, to minimize the risk of foreign exchange
rate variations and sales price variations, detailed as follows:
a. Hedges
The Corporation has taken measures to protect itself from exchange rate and interest rate variations,
whose positive fair value, net of taxes, amounts to TNUS$22,937.

31. Contingencies and restrictions
a) Litigations and contingencies
There are various lawsuits and legal actions initiated by or against the Corporation, which derive from its
operations and the industry in which it operates. In general, these are civil, tax, labor and mining
litigations, all related to the Corporation’s activities.
In the opinion of Management and its legal advisors, the lawsuits where the Corporation is being sued
and could have negative results do not represent significant loss contingencies or cash flows. Codelco
defends its rights and employs all corresponding relevant legal instances, resources and procedures.
The most significant lawsuits that involve Codelco are related to the following matters:
– Tax proceedings: There is a tax proceeding for liquidation No.141 of tax year 2015 and
Exempt Resolution No. 89 of 2016 issued by the Internal Revenue Service (SIl), for which the
Corporation presented the corresponding appeals, which were received and resolved in favor of the
Tax and Customs Courts, a resolution that was appealed by the SI!.
– Labor proceedings: Labor proceedings brought by the workers of the Andina Division against the
Corporation with regard to occupational diseases (silicosis).

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Mining proceedings and others arising from the Operation: The Corporation has been participating,
and will probably continue to participate, as plaintiff and defendant in given court proceedings
involving its mining operation and activities, through which it seeks to exercise certain actions or set
up certain defenses in relation to given mining concessions that have been established or are in the
process of being established, as well as also with regard to its other activities. These proceedings
currently do not involve any given amount and do not have any essential effect on Codelco’s
development.
At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Codelco faces various lawsuits and legal
actions against it for a total of approximately US$268 million corresponding to 366 cases. According
to the estimate made by the legal advisors of the Corporation, 282 cases, which represent 77.05% of
the universe, have associated probable loss results amounting to TAUS$42,057. There are also 64
cases, representing 17.49% for an amount of ThUS$205,935, for which it is more likely than not, that
the ruling will not be against the Corporation.
Lawsuit under administrative law: On August 2, 2017, a Nullity in Public Law claim was filed in the
25th Civil Court of Santiago against Audit Report No. 900 of 2016, issued by the General
Comptrollership of the Republic on May 10, 2017. At this date, the discussion stage has been
completed and the evidence submitting stage should start soon.
For litigation with a probable unfavorable outcome for the Corporation, the necessary provisions has
been recognized as “provisions for legal proceedings.”
b) Other Commitments
On May 31, 2005, Codelco, through its subsidiary Codelco International Ltd. signed an agreement
with Minmetals to form a company, CuPIC, in which both companies have an equal equity interest.
A 15-year copper cathode sales contract to that associated company was agreed upon, as well as
a purchase contract from Minmetals to CupiC for the same period and for equal monthly shipments
to complete a total of 836,250 metric tons. Each shipment shall be paid for by the buyer at a price
formed by a fixed re-adjustable component plus a variable component, which depends on current
copper prices at the time of shipment.
During the first quarter of 2006 and on the basis of the negotiated financial terms, financing contracts
were formalized with the China Development Bank allowing CuPIC to make the US$550 million
advance payment to Codelco in March 2006.
With regard to financial obligations incurred by the associate CuPIC with the China Development
Bank, Codelco Chile and Codelco International Ltd, must meet certain commitments, mainly relating
to the delivery of financial information. In addition, Codelco Chile must maintain 51% ownership of
Codelco International Limited.
According to the Sponsor Agreement, dated March 8, 2006, the Codelco International Ltd.
subsidiary gave its participation in CuPIC as a guarantee to the China Development Bank.

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Subsequently, on March 14, 2012, CUuPIC paid off its debt to the abovementioned bank. As of
December 31, 2017. Codelco does not hold any indirect guarantee regarding its participation in this
associated company.
On December 17, 2015, the Codelco administration presented a restructuring for the Supply
Contract, which implies the removal of its share in CUPIC.
On April 7, 2016, the Corporation formalized the removal of its share in CUPIC, of which Codelco
retained 50% ownership through the subsidiary Codelco International. Until that date, Codelco
shared the ownership of the Company in the same proportion with the company Album Enterprises
Limited (a subsidiary of Minmetals).
In order to realize the above mentioned term of the shareholding, Codelco signed a set of
agreements which formalized primarily the following issues:
+ Copper sales contract modifications from Codelco to CUPIC signed in 2006, which establishes
the reduction of half of the outstanding tonnage to deliver to this company and in which Codelco
pays to CUPIC the amount of ThUS$99,330.
+ Reduction of share capital in CuPIC, equivalent to the 50% of the Codelco International shares
in said company and by which CuPIC repays to Codelco the amount of ThUS$99,330.
+ Waiver of Codelco to any dividends associated with the profits generated by CUPIC from January
1, 2016 and the date of signing the agreement.
+ —Additionally, the cessation of dividends reception as a consequence of the removal of the
Codelco share in the ownership of CuPIC since 2016, led to a reduction of the net profit
estimated to Codelco until the end of the contract signed with that company (year 2021). This
implied that such contract qualifies as an onerous contract, according to IAS 37, which negatively
impacts on earnings before tax of Codelco in ThUS$22,184 (negative net tax effect of
ThUS$6,599 as of April 7, 2016).
li… Regarding the financing agreement signed on August 23, 2012, between the subsidiary, Gacrux
Inversiones SpA and Mitsui 8, Co. Ltd. for the acquisition of the 24.5% stake in Anglo American Sur
S.A. which was subsequently amended on October 31, 2012, a pledge is included over the shares
that the subsidiary has on Acrux Inversiones SpA (shared participation with Mitsui and minority
shareholder in Anglo American Sur S.A.), in order to ensure compliance with the obligations that
the financial agreement contemplates.
This pledge extends to the right to collect and receive from Acrux dividends which have been agreed

virtue of the Merger (see Note 2d), the Contract of Pledge and the Modified Pledge Agreement as
to the pledge on transferable securities and the commercial pledge, as well as the restrictions and
prohibitions established in the Pledge Contract and in the Modified Pledge Contract, making it
subject to , by virtue of the Merger, to two thousand thirteen million two hundred and forty-five
thousand four hundred and seventy-three shares pledge issued by Becrux, owned by Gacrux,
hereinafter the “Pledged Becrux Shares.”
lil. Law 19.993 dated December 17, 2004, authorized the purchase of the Refinery and Smelter Las
Ventanas assets from ENAMI, establishing that the Corporation must ensure that the smelting and
refining capacity required is maintained, without any restriction and limitation, for treating the
products of the small and medium mining sector sent by ENAMI, under the form of toll production
or another form agreed upon by the parties.
iv. — Obligations with the public for bond issues means that the Corporation must meet certain restrictions
related to limits on pledges and leaseback transactions on its principal assets and on its ownership
interest in subsidiaries.
The Corporation has complied with these conditions as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
v. On January 20, 2010, the Corporation signed two energy supply contracts with Colbún S.A., which
includes energy and power sales and purchases for a total of 510 MW of power. The contract
provides a discount for that unconsumed energy from Codelco’s SIC divisions with respect to the
amount of contracted power. The discount is equivalent to the value of the sale of that energy on
the spot market.
The contracted power for supplying these Divisions is comprised by two contracts:
– Contract No.1 for 176 MW, current until December 2029
– Contract No.2 for 334 MW, current until December 2044. This contract is based on energy
production from Colbún’s Santa María thermal power station, which is currently in operation.
This plantis coal-fired, and therefore the electric energy tariff rate applied for the energy supplied
to Codelco is linked to the price of coal.
Both of these contracts comply with Codelco’s long-term energy and power requirements from the
SIC of approximately 510 MW.
Through these contracts, which operate through take or pay, the Corporation agrees to pay for the
contracted energy and Colbún undertakes to reimburse at market price the energy not consumed
by Codelco.
These contracts have maturity dates in 2029 and 2044.
vi. On November 6, 2009, Codelco signed the following long-term electric energy supply contracts with
ELECTROANDINA S.A. (associate until January 2011), which matured in August 2017.

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
For the electric power supply of the Chuquicamata’s work center, there are three contracts:
Engie for a 15-year term from January 2010, that is maturing in December 2024, for 200
MW capacity, and another contract for a 200 MW capacity which was signed in January
2018 and will be effective as of January 2025 with maturity in December 2035.
CTA effective from 2012 for 80 MW capacity, maturity in 2032.
vii. On August 26, 2011, Codelco signed two energy supply contracts with AESGener. The first one for
the Minister Hales division for a 99 MW capacity and the second contract for the Radomiro Tomic
work center, for a maximum capacity of 145 MW. Both contracts will mature in 2028.
viii. On November 11, 2011, Law No. 20551 was published in the Official Journal, which regulates the
tasks and closure of mining facilities. Additionally, on November 22, 2012, the Supreme Decree No.
41 of the Minister of Mining, which approves the Regulations of this Law, was published in the Diario
Oficial.
This law requires the Corporation, among other requirements, to provide financial guarantees to the
State to ensure the implementation of closure plans. It also establishes the obligation to make
contributions to a fund which aims to cover the costs of post-closure activities.
The Corporation, in accordance with the mentioned regulation, provided to SERNAGEOMIN the
Mine Closure Plan (ARO) for all of the Codelco operating divisions in 2014, which were approved
in 2015 in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
The mine closure plans delivered to SERNAGEOMIN were developed by invoking the transitional
regime of the Act, which was specified for the affected mining companies under the general
application procedure (extraction capacity > 10,000 tons per month), and which, at the date of
enactment of the Law, will abide in operation and move forward with a mine closure plan previously
approved under Mine Safety Regulations Supreme Decree No. 132.
The Corporation considers that the accounting liability recorded caused by this obligation differs
from the law’s requirement, mainly by differences concerning the horizon that is considered for the
projection of flows, in which the law requires the determination of the obligations in terms of mineral
reserves, while the financial-accounting approach incorporates some of its mineral resources.
Therefore, the discount rate established by law, may differ from that used by the Corporation under
the criteria set out in lAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and
described in Note 2, letter p) of Main Accounting Policies.
As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation has agreed guarantees for an annual amount of U.F.
28,061,769 to comply with the aforementioned Law No. 20.551. The following table details the main
given guarantees:

ix. On August 24, 2012, Codelco through its subsidiary Inversiones Mineras Nueva Acrux SpA (Nueva
Acrux) (which minority shareholder is Mitsui), signed a contract with Anglo American Sur S.A. Under
this contract, Codelco agreed to sell a portion of its annual copper production to the mentioned
subsidiary, who in turn agrees to purchase such production.
Such annual portion is determined by the share of Codelco’s indirect subsidiary, Inversiones
Mineras Becrux SpA (also shared ownership with Mitsui), maintained for the shares of Anglo
American Sur S.A.
In turn, the subsidiary Nueva Acrux agrees to sell to Mitsui, the products purchased under the
agreement described in the preceding paragraphs.
The contract expiration will occur when the shareholders agreement of Anglo American Sur S.A
ends or other events related to the completion of mining activities of the company take place.
On June 11, 2019, Codelco and Anglo American Sur S.A. signed an agreement that ensures and
optimizes the operation of their respective copper mines, Andina and Los Bronces, respectively.
This agreement is similar to others that the same parties have signed during the last 40 years and
that favor the independent, safe and sustainable operation of these neighboring mines.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS” REPORT
To the Chairman and Board of Directors of
Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Corporación
Nacional del Cobre de Chile and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and
the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the
years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Information
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). This responsibility includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor”s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We performed our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Chile.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit includes performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor”s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the entity’s consolidated financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity”s internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the significant estimates made by the Company’s Management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence that we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Corporate Information
Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile (hereinafter referred to as “Codelco”, “Codelco – Chile”, or the
“Corporation”), is, in Management’s opinion, the largest copper producer in the world. Codelco’s most
important product is refined copper, primarily in the form of cathodes. The Corporation also produces copper
concentrates, blister and anode copper and by-products such as molybdenum, anode slime and sulfuric
acid.
The Corporation trades its products based on a policy aimed to sell refined copper to manufacturers or
producers of semi-manufactured products.
These products contribute to diverse fields of community development, particularly those intended to
improve areas such as public health, energy efficiency, and sustainable development, among others.
Codelco-Chile is registered under Securities Registry No. 785 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial
Market (the “CMF”), and is subject to its supervision. According to Article No. 10 of Law No. 20392 (related
to the new Corporate Governance of Codelco), such supervision shall be on the same terms as publicly
traded companies, notwithstanding the provisions in Decree Law (D.L.) No.1349 of 1976, which created the
Comisión Chilena del Cobre (“Chilean Copper Commission”).
Codelco’s head office is located in Santiago, Chile, at 1270 Huérfanos Street, telephone number (56-2)
26903000.
Codelco was incorporated through D.L. No. 1350 of 1976, which is the statutory decree applicable to the
Corporation. In accordance with the statutory decree, Codelco is a government-owned mining, industrial
and commercial company, which is a separate legal entity with its own equity, Codelco Chile currently carries
out its mining business through its Chuquicamata, Radomiro Tomic, Ministro Hales, Gabriela Mistral,
Salvador, Andina, El Teniente and Ventanas divisions. The Gabriela Mistral division is in charge of the ore
deposit of the same name, whose operations were, until December 31, 2012, the responsibility of its
subsidiary Minera Gaby SpA., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation which was absorbed by Codelco
on that date.
The Corporation also carries out similar activities in other mining deposits in association with third parties.
In accordance with letter e) of Article 10 of Law No. 20392, Codelco is governed by its organic standards
set forth in Decree Law No. 1350 (D.L. No. 1350) and that of its by-laws, and in matters not covered by them
and, insofar as they are compatible and do not contradict the provisions of such standards, by the rules that
govern publicly traded companies and the common laws as applicable to them.
In accordance with D.L. No. 1350 Section IV related to the Company’s Exchange and Budget Regulations.
Codelco’s financial activities are conducted following an annual budgeting program that is composed of an
Operations Budget, an Investment Budget and a Debt Amortization Budget.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Judgments and Key Estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the use of certain critical accounting estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized as of the date of the financial
statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the reporting period is required.
Such preparation also requires the Corporation’s Management to exercise ¡ts judgment in the process of
applying the Corporation’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements are as follows:
a)
b)
Useful economic lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment – The useful lives
and residual values of property, plant and equipment that are used for calculating depreciation are
determined based on technical studies prepared by specialists (internal or external). The technical
studies consider specific factors related to the use of assets.
When there are indicators that could lead to changes in the estimates of the useful lives of such assets,
these changes are made by using technical estimates considering specific factors related to the use of
the assets.
Ore reserves – The measurements of ore reserves are based on estimates of the ore resources that
are legally and economically exploitable, and reflect the technical and environmental considerations of
the Corporation regarding the amount of resources that could be exploited and sold at prices exceeding
the total cost associated with the extraction and processing.
The Corporation applies prudent judgment in determining the ore reserves, and as such, possible
changes in these estimates might significantly impact the estimates of net revenues over time. In
addition, these changes might lead to modifications in usage estimates, which might have an effect on
depreciation and amortization expense, calculation of stripping cost adjustments, determination of
impairment losses, expected future disbursements related to decommissioning and restoration
obligations, long term defined benefits plans’ accounting and the accounting for financial derivative
instruments.
The Corporation estimates ¡ts reserves and mineral resources based on the information certified by the
Competent Persons of the Corporation, who are defined and regulated according to Law No. 20235.
These estimates correspond to the application of the Certification Code of Ore Reserves, Resources
and Exploration, issued by the Mining Committee which was instituted through the aforementioned law.
This does not modify the global volume of the Corporation’s ore reserves and resources.
Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation also periodically reviews such estimates, supported by
world-class external experts, who certify the reserves as determined.

(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
c) Impairment of non-financial assets – The Corporation reviews the carrying amount of its assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated in order to determine the extent
of the impairment loss. In testing impairment, the assets are grouped into cash generating units
(“CGUs”) to which the assets belong, where applicable. The recoverable amount of these CGUs is
calculated as the present value of the expected future cash flows from such assets, considering a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of the assets is lower than their carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognized.
The Corporation defines the CGUs and also estimates the timing and cash flows that such CGUs will
generate. Subsequent changes in the grouping of the CGU, or changes in the assumptions supporting
the estimates of cash flows or the discount rate, may impact the carrying amounts of the corresponding
assets.
Estimates of assumptions influencing the calculation of cash flows, such as the price of copper or
treatment charges and refining charges, among others, are determined based on studies conducted
by the Corporation using uniform criteria over different periods. Any changes to these criteria may
impact the estimated recoverable amount of the assets.
The Corporation has assessed and defined that the CGUs are determined at the level of each of its
current operating divisions.
Impairment testing also is performed at the level of associates and joint arrangements.
d) Provisions for decommissioning and site restoration costs – The Corporation is obliged to incur
decommissioning and site restoration costs when such site restoration or decommissioning ¡is required
due to a legal or constructive obligation. Costs are estimated on the basis of a formal closure plan and
are reassessed annually or as of the date such obligations become known. The initial estimate of
decommissioning and site restoration costs is recognized as property, plant and equipment in
accordance with lAS 16, and simultaneously a liability in accordance with IAS 37, is recorded.
For these purposes, a defined list of mine sites, facilities and other equipment are studied under this
process, considering the engineering level profile, the cubic meters of assets that will be subject to
removal and restoration, weighted by a structure of market prices of goods and services, reflecting the
best current knowledge related to carrying out such activities, as well as techniques and more efficient
construction procedures to date. In the process of valuation of these activities, the assumptions of the
exchange rate for tradable goods and services is made, as well as a discount rate, which considers the
time value of money and the risks associated with the liabilities, which is determined based, where
applicable, on the currency in which disbursements are expected to be made.
The liability amounts recognized at the end of each reporting date represent management’s best
estimate of the present value of the future decommissioning and site restoration costs. Changes to
estimated future costs that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of

f)
resources embodying economic benefits required to settle the obligation, or a change in the discount
rate are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset in the current period (as well as the
associated liability). The amount deducted from the cost of the asset shall not exceed its carrying
amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized
immediately in profit or loss.
If the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of the asset, Codelco considers whether this is an
indication that the new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. If it is considered
such an indicator, Codelco tests the asset for impairment by estimating its recoverable amount, and
accounts for any impairment loss in accordance with IAS 36.
The decommissioning costs are initially recorded at the moment when a plant or other assets are
installed. Such costs are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and discounted to their
present value. These decommissioning costs are charged to net income over the life of the mine,
through depreciation of the corresponding asset. Depreciation expense ¡is included in cost of sales,
while the unwinding of the discount in the provision is included in finance costs.
Provisions for employee benefits – Provisions for employee benefits related to severance payments
and health benefits for services rendered by the employees are determined based on actuarial
calculations using the projected unit credit method, and are recognized in other comprehensive income
or profit or loss (depending on the accounting standards applicable).
The Corporation uses assumptions to determine the best estimate of future obligations related to these
benefits. Such estimates, as well as assumptions, are determined by management using the
assistance of external actuaries. These assumptions include demographic assumptions, discount rate
and expected salary increases and rotation levels, among other factors.
Accruals for open invoices – The Corporation uses information on future copper prices, through which
it recognizes adjustments to its revenues and trade receivables, due to the conditions in provisional
pricing arrangements. These adjustments are updated on a monthly basis, See Notes 2 r) “Revenue
from contracts with customers” of Note 2 “Significant accounting policies” below.
g) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments – Management may use its judgment to
choose an adequate and proper valuation method for financial instruments that are not quoted in an
active market. In the case of derivative financial instruments, assumptions are based on observable
market inputs, adjusted depending on factors specific to the instruments among others.
h) Lawsuits and contingencies – The Corporation assesses the probability of lawsuits and contingency
losses on an ongoing basis according to estimates performed by its legal advisors. For cases in which
management and the Corporation’s legal advisors believe that a loss is not probable of occurring or
where probable, may not be estimated reliably, no provisions are recognized.
Revenue recognition – Beginning on January 1, 2018, the Corporation has adopted IFRS 15,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides new guidance on recognition of revenue. The

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Corporation determines appropriate revenue recognition for its contracts with customers by analyzing
the type, terms and conditions of each contract or agreement with a customer.
As part of the analysis, the management must make judgments about whether an agreement or
contract is legally enforceable, and whether the agreement includes separate performance obligations.
In addition, estimates are required in order to allocate the total price of the transaction to each
performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of the promised goods or services
underlying each performance obligation. (The Corporation applies the constraint on variable
consideration as defined in IFRS 15, if applicable).
Although the abovementioned estimates have been made based on the best information available as of
the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, itis possible that new developments could
lead the Corporation to modify these estimates in the future. Such modifications, if applicable, would be
adjusted prospectively, as required by IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors.”

Absorbed Company, (which will be dissolved without having to effect its liquidation) in addition to being
responsible for the payment of all taxes owed or which may be owed by the Absorbed Company.
For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries, associates, acquisitions
and disposals and joint ventures are defined as follows:
+ Subsidiaries – A subsidiary is an entity over which the Corporation has control. Control is
exercised if, and only if, the following conditions are met: the Corporation has i) power to direct
the relevant activities of the subsidiaries unilaterally; ii) exposure or rights to variable returns from
these entities; and iii) the ability to use ¡its power to influence the amount of these returns.
The Corporation reassesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control listed above.
The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash
flows of Codelco and its subsidiaries, after eliminating all inter-company balances and
transactions.
The value of the participation of non-controlling shareholders in equity, net income and
comprehensive income of subsidiaries are presented, respectively, in the headings “Non-
controlling interests” of the consolidated statement of financial position; “Net income attributable
to non-controlling interests”; and “Comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests.”
+. Associates – An associate is an entity over which Codelco has significant influence. Significant
influence ¡is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate
but is not control or joint control over those policies.
Codelco’s interest ownership in associates is recognized in the consolidated financial statements
under the equity method. Under this method, the initial investment is recognized at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognize changes in Codelco’s share of the comprehensive income of the
associate, less any impairment losses or other changes to the net assets of the associate.
Appropriate adjustments to the Codelco’s share of the associate’s profit or loss after acquisition
are made in order to account for depreciation of the depreciable assets and related deferred tax
balances based on their fair values at the acquisition date.
+. Acquisitions and Disposals – The results of businesses acquired are incorporated in the
consolidated financial statements from the date when control is obtained; the results of businesses
sold during the period are included into the consolidated financial statements up to the effective
date of disposal. Gains or losses on disposal is the difference between the sale proceeds (net of
expenses) and the carrying amount of the net assets attributable to the ownership interest that
has been sold (and, where applicable, the associated cumulative translation adjustment).
If control is lost over a subsidiary, the retained ownership interest in the investment will be
recognized at its fair value.

e)
At the acquisition date of an investment in a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, any excess of
the cost of the investment (consideration transferred) plus the amount of the non-controlling
interest in the acquiree plus the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree,
where applicable, over Codelco’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and acquired
liabilities is recognized as goodwill. Any excess of Codelco’s share of the net fair value of the
identifiable assets and acquired liabilities over the consideration transferred, after reassessment,
is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
+. Joint Ventures – The entities that qualify as joint ventures are accounted for using the equity
method.
Foreign currency transactions and conversion to reporting currency – Transactions in currencies
other than the Corporation’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency transactions
denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange
differences on such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise and
are included in line item “Foreign exchange differences” in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
At the end of each reporting period, assets and liabilities denominated in Unidades de Fomento (UF
or inflation index-linked units of account) are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rates
at that date (12/31/2018: US$39.68; 12/31/2017: US$43.59). The expenses and revenues in Chilean
pesos have been expressed in dollars at the observed exchange rate, corresponding to the date of the
accounting recording of each operation.
The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, whose functional
currency is other than the presentation currency of Codelco, are translated as follows for purposes of
consolidation:
+ Assets and liabilities are translated using the prevailing exchange rate on the closing date of the
financial statements.
+ Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates for the period.
+ Non-monetary assets and liabilities as well as equity are translated at historic exchange rates.
+. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity under the heading “Reserve on exchange differences on translation”.

USD /BRL 0.25848 | 0.30198
USD /EURO 1.14390 | 1.20236
Offsetting balances and transactions: In general, assets and liabilities, income and expenses, are
not offset in the financial statements, unless required or permitted by an IFRS or when offsetting reflects
the substance of the transaction as well as when it is the intention of the Corporation to settle a
transaction net.
Income or expenses arising from transactions which, for contractual or legal reasons, permit the
possibility of offsetting and which the Corporation intends to liquidate for their net value or realize the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, are stated net in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation – Items of property, plant and equipment are
initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at cost, less any
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Extension, modernization or improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity, capacity or
efficiency, or an increase in the useful life of the assets are capitalized as increasing the cost of the
corresponding assets.
Furthermore, assets acquired under finance lease contracts are included in property, plant and
equipment.
Starting fiscal year 2014, the assets included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated, as a
general rule, using the units of production method, when the activity performed by the asset is directly
attributable to the mine production process. All other assets included in property, plant and equipment
are depreciated using the straight-line method.

(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The assets included in property, plant and equipment and certain intangibles (software) are depreciated
over their economic useful lives, as described below:
Category Useful Life
Land Not depreciated
Land on mine site Units of production
Buildings Straight-line over 20-50 years
Buildings in underground mine levels Units of production level
Vehicles Straight-line over 3-7 years
Plant and equipment Units of production
Smelters Straight-line
Refineries Units of production
Mining rights Units of production
Support equipment Units of production
Intangibles – Software Straight-line over 8 years
Open pit and underground mine
development Units of production
Leased assets are depreciated over the lease term or their estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.
Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, and any change in estimates is recognized prospectively.
Additionally, depreciation method and estimated useful lives of assets, especially plants, facilities and
infrastructure may be revised at the end of each year or during the year according to changes in the
structure of reserves of the Corporation and productive long-term plans updated as of that date.
This review may be made at any time if the conditions of ore reserves change significantly as a result
of new known information, confirmed and officially released by the Corporation.
Gains or losses on the sale of disposal of an asset are calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds received and the carrying amount of the asset, and are included in profit or loss
when the asset is derecognized.
Construction in progress includes the amounts invested in the construction of property, plant and
equipment and in mining development projects. Construction in progress is transferred to assets in
operation once the testing period has ended and when they are ready for use; at that point, depreciation
begins to be recognized.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets that require a
substantial period of time before they are ready for use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the
corresponding items of property, plant and equipment.
The ore deposits owned by the Corporation are recorded in the accounting records at US$1.

Notwithstanding the above, those reserves and resources acquired as part of acquisition of entities
accounted for as business combinations, are recognized at their fair value.
Intangible assets – The Corporation initially recognizes these assets at acquisition cost. Subsequent
to initial recognition, intangible assets are amortized in a systematic way over their economic useful
life, except for those assets with indefinite useful life, which are not amortized. Indefinitely-lived
intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there ¡is an indication that
these assets may be impaired. Definitely-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when an
indicator of impairment has been identified. At the end of each reporting period, these assets are
measured at their cost less any accumulated amortization (when applicable) and any accumulated
impairment losses.
The main intangible assets are described as follows:
Research and Technological Development and Innovation Expenditures: The expenditures for
the development of Technology and Innovation Projects are recognized as intangible assets at their
cost and are considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Development expenses for technology and innovation projects are recognized as intangible assets at
cost, if and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
e The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will available for use or
sale;
The intention to complete the intangible asset is to use or sell it;
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
That the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
e The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its
development.
Research expenses for technology and innovation projects are recognized in profit or loss when
incurred.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets – The carrying amounts of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed to determine
whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indicator
exists, the Corporation estimates the asset’s recoverable amount to determine the extent of the
impairment loss which is then recorded.
For assets with indefinite useful lives, their recoverable amounts are annually estimated at the end of
each reporting period.
When an asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, Codelco
determines the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.

The Corporation has defined each of its divisions as a cash generating unit.
Recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. On the other hand, the fair value less cost of disposal is usually determined for
operational assets considering the Life of Mine (‘LOM”), based on a model of discounted cash flows,
while the assets not included in LOM as resources and potential resources to exploit are measured by
using a market model of multiples for comparable transactions.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than ¡ts carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, reducing the carrying amount to its
recoverable amount. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the
asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years.
The estimates of future cash flow for a CGU are based on future production forecasts, future prices of
basic products and future production costs. Under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, there are certain
restrictions for future cash flows estimates related to future restructurings and future cost efficiencies.
When calculating value in use, it is also necessary to base the calculations on the spot exchange rate
at the date of calculation.
Expenditures for exploration and evaluation of mineral resources, mine development and
mining operations – The Corporation has defined an accounting policy for each of these expenditures.
Development expenses for deposits under exploitation whose purpose is to maintain production levels
are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Exploration and evaluation costs such as: drillings of deposits, including expenses necessary to locate
new mineralized areas and engineering studies to determine their potential for commercial exploitation
are recognized in profit or loss, normally at the pre-feasibility stage.
Pre-operating and mine development expenses (normally after feasibility engineering is reached)
incurred during the execution of a project and until its start-up are capitalized and amortized in relation
to the future production of the mine. These costs include stripping of waste material, constructing the
mine’s infrastructure and other works carried out prior to the production phase.
Finally, costs for defining of new areas or deposit areas in exploitation and of mining operations (PP8.E)
are recognized in property, plant and equipment and are amortized through profit or loss over the
period during which the benefits are obtained.

Stripping costs – Costs incurred in removing mine waste materials (overburden) in open pits that are
in production, that provide access to mineral deposits, are recognized in property, plant and equipment,
when the following criteria set out in IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface
Mine are met:
– Itis probable that the future economic benefits associated with the stripping activity will flow to the
entity.
– Itis possible to identify the components of an ore body for which access has been improved as a
result of the stripping activity.
– The costs relating to that stripping activity can be measured reliably.
The amounts recognized in property, plant and equipment are depreciated according to the units of
production extracted from the ore body related to the specific stripping activity which generated this
amount.
Income taxes and deferred taxes – Codelco and ¡its Chilean subsidiaries recognize annually income
taxes based on the net taxable income determined as per the standards established in the Income Tax
Law and Article 2 of D.L. 2398, as well as, the specific tax on mining referred to in Law 20026 of 2005.
Its foreign subsidiaries recognize income taxes according to the tax regulations in each country.
In addition, Codelco’s taxable income in each period is subject to the tax regime established in Article
26 of D.L. No. 1350, which states that tax payments will be made on March, June, September and
December of each year, based on a provisional tax return.
Deferred taxes on temporary differences and other events that generate differences between the
accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are recognized in accordance with lAS 12 “Income
taxes.
Deferred taxes are also recognized for undistributed profits of subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures, originated by withholding tax rates on remittances of dividends paid out by such companies
to the Corporation.
Inventories – Inventories are measured at cost, when such does not exceed net realizable value. Net
realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of
completion and costs necessary to make the sale (i,e,, marketing, sales and distribution expenses).
Costs of inventories are determined according to the following methods:
– Finished products and products in process: These inventories are measured at their average
production cost determined using the absorption costing method, including labor, depreciation of fixed
assets, amortization of intangibles and indirect costs of each period. Inventories of products in process
are classified in current and non-current, according to the normal cycle of operation.

(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
– Materials in warehouse: These inventories are measured at their acquisition cost. The Corporation
estimates an allowance for obsolescence considering the turnover rate of slow-moving materials in the
warehouse.
– Materials in transit: These inventories are measured at cost incurred until the end of reporting period.
Any difference as a result of an estimate of net realizable value of the inventories lower than its carrying
amount is recognized in profit or loss.
Dividends – In accordance with Article 6 of D.L. 1350, the Corporation has a mandatory obligation to
distribute its net income as presented in the financial statements. The payment obligation is recognized
on an accrual basis.
Employee benefits – Codelco recognizes a provision for employee benefits when there is a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of services rendered by its employees.
The employment contracts stipulate, subject to compliance with certain conditions, the payment of an
employee termination indemnity when an employment contract ends. In general, this corresponds to
one monthly salary per year of service and considers the components of the final remuneration which
are contractually defined as the basis for the indemnity. This employee benefit has been classified as
a defined benefit plan.
Codelco has also agreed to post-employment medical care benefits for certain employees, which are
paid based on a fixed percentage applied to the last monthly taxable salary of the retirees covered by
this agreement. This employee benefit has been classified as a defined benefit plan.
These plans continue to be unfunded as of December 31, 2018.
The employee termination indemnity and the post-employment medical plan obligations are determined
using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each
reporting period. The defined benefit plan obligations recognized in the statement of financial position
represent the present value of the accrued obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized
immediately in other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
The Corporation’s management uses assumptions to determine the best estimate of these benefits.
The assumptions include an annual discount rate, expected increases in salaries and tumover rate,
among other factors.
In accordance with ¡ts operating optimization programs to reduce costs and increase labor productivity
by incorporating new current technologies and/or better management practices, the Corporation has
established employee retirement programs by amending certain employment contracts or collective
union agreements to include benefits encouraging employees to early retire. Accordingly, these
arrangements are accounted for as termination benefits and required accruals are established based
on the accrued obligation at current value, In case of employee retirement programs which involve
multi-year periods, the accrued obligations are updated using a discount rate determined based on

financial instruments denominated in the same currency and similar maturities that will be used to pay
the obligations.
Provisions for decommissioning and site restoration costs – The Corporation is obliged to incur
decommissioning and site restoration costs Such site restoration or decommissioning is required due
to a legal or constructive obligation. Costs are estimated on the basis of a formal closure plan and cost
estimates are annually reviewed.
A provision is recognized for decommissioning and site restoration costs. The amount of the provision
is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The provision
is initially recognized with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related assets.
The provision for decommissioning and site restoration costs is accreted over time to reflect the
unwinding of the discount with the accretion expense included in finance costs in the statement of
income. The carrying amount of the related asset is depreciated over its useful life.
Changes in the measurement of the decommissioning and site restoration provision that result from
changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
required to settle the obligation, or a change in the discount rate, are added to, or deducted from, the
cost of the related assets in the period when changes occurred. The amount deducted from the cost of
the related assets cannot exceed its carrying amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying
amount of the asset, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
If the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of an asset, the Corporation considers whether this
is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. If such an
indicator exists, the Corporation tests the asset for impairment by estimating its recoverable amount,
and recognizes an impairment loss, if any.
The effects of the updating of the liability, due to the effect of the discount rate and / or passage of time,
is recorded as a financial expense.
Leases – Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Corporation. All other leases are classified as operating
leases. Operating lease costs are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets at the inception of the lease at either
their fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments (discounted at the interest rate
implicit in the lease), whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs and
reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of return on the remaining balance of
the liability. Lease obligations are included in other current or non-current liabilities, as appropriate.
In accordance with IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, an arrangement
is, or contains a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or

assets and if the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly
specified.
All “take-or-pay” contracts and any other service and supply contracts that meet the conditions in IFRIC
4, are reviewed to determine whether they contain a lease.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services.
– Sale of mineral goods and / or by-products
Contracts with customers for the sale of mineral goods and / or by-products include the performance
obligation for the delivery of the physical goods and the associated transportation service, at the place
agreed with the customers. The Corporation recognizes revenue from the sale of goods at the time
control of the asset is transferred to the customer, according to the shipment or dispatch of the
products, in accordance with the agreed conditions, such revenue being subject to variations related
to the content and / or sale price at the date ofits liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are
some contracts where control is transferred substantially to the client based on the receipt of the
product instead of the buyer’s corresponding destination, making the revenue recognition at the time
of said transfer. When services of transport of goods are provided, the Corporation recognizes revenue
when the service obligation is satisfied.
Sales that have discounts associated with volume subject to compliance with goals are recognized net,
estimating the probability that the volume target will be reached.
Sales contracts include a provisional price at the shipment date. The final price is generally based on
the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) price, Revenue from sales of copper is measured using
estimates of the future spread of metal prices on the LME and/or the spot price at the date of shipment,
with subsequent adjustments made upon final pricing recognized as revenue. The terms of sales
contracts with customers contain provisional pricing arrangements whereby the selling price for metal
concentrate is based on prevailing spot prices on a specified future date after shipment to the customer
(the “quotation period”). Consequently, the final price is set at the dates indicated in the contracts.
Adjustments to provisional sale prices occur based on movements in quoted market prices on the LME
up to the date of final pricing. The period between provisional invoicing and final pricing is typically
between one and nine months. Changes in fair value over the quotation period and until final pricing
are estimated by reference to forward market prices for applicable metals.
In terms of hedge accounting established by IFRS 9, the Corporation has opted to continue applying
the hedge accounting requirements of the IAS 39 instead of the requirements of the new standard.
Therefore, the generated no effects both at the level of account balances or at the level of disclosures.
Sales in the Chilean market are recognized in conformity with the regulations that govern domestic
sales as indicated in Articles 7, 8 and 9 of Law No. 16624, modified by Article 15 of Decree Law No.

1349 of 1976, on the determination of sales prices for the internal market which does nat differ from
IFRS 15.
As indicated in the note related to hedging policies in the market of metal derivatives, the Corporation
enters into operations in the market of metal derivatives. Gains and losses from those which are fair
value hedges contracts are recognized as revenues.
– — Rendering of services
Additionally, the Corporation recognizes revenue for rendering services, which are mainly related to
the processing of minerals bought from third parties. Revenue from rendering of services is recognized
when the amounts can be measured reliably and when the services have been provided.
Derivative contracts – Codelco uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the risk of fluctuations
in sales prices of its products and of exchange rates.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and
are subsequently measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash
flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the item
“Cash flow hedge reserve.” The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized
in profit or loss, and included in the “Finance cost” or “Finance income” line items. Amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss
in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the effect for the
fluctuation in the recognized hedged item.
A hedge relationship is considered highly effective when changes in fair value or in cash flows of the
underlying item directly attributable to the hedged risk are offset by changes in fair value or cash flows
of the hedging instrument, with an effectiveness ranging from 80% to 125%. Changes in fair value
accumulated in other comprehensive income are subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss
in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Upon discontinuation
of hedge accounting and depending on the circumstances, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging
instrument remains in equity until the hedged transaction occurs or, if the hedged transaction is not
expected to occur, the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or
loss.
The total fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as “non-current financial asset or liability”, ifthe
remaining maturity of the hedged item is greater than 12 months, and as “current financial asset or
liability”, if the remaining maturity of the hedged item ¡is less than 12 months.
The derivative contracts held by the Corporation have been entered into to apply the risk hedging
policies and are accounted for as indicated below:

Hedging policies for exchange rate risk: The Corporation enters into exchange rate derivatives
to hedge exchange rate variations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of transactions the
Corporation undertakes. In accordance with the policies established by the Board of Directors, these
hedge transactions are only entered into when there are recognized assets or liabilities, forecasts
of highly probable transactions or firm commitments. The Corporation does not enter into derivative
transactions for non-hedging purposes.
Hedging policies for metal market prices risk: In accordance with the policies established by the
Board of Directors, the Corporation entered into derivative contracts to reduce the inherent risks in
the fluctuations of metal prices.
The hedging policies seek to cover expected cash flows from the sale of products by fixing the sale
prices for a portion of future production. When the sales agreements are fulfilled and the derivative
contracts are settled, the results from sales and derivative transactions are offset in profit or loss in
revenue,
Hedging transactions carried out by the Corporation in the metal derivatives market are not
undertaken for speculative purposes.
– Embedded derivatives: The Corporation has established a procedure that allows for evaluation of
the existence of embedded derivatives in financial and non-financial contracts. Where there is an
embedded derivative, and the host contract is not a financial instrument and the characteristics and
risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract, the derivative ¡is
required to be recognized separately.
Financial information by segment – The Corporation has defined its Divisions as its operating
segments in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The mining deposits
in operation, where the Corporation conducts its extractive and processing activities are managed by
the following Divisions: Chuquicamata, Radomiro Tomic, Ministro Hales, Gabriela Mistral, Salvador,
Andina and El Teniente, In addition, the smelting and refining activities are managed at the Ventanas
Division. All these Divisions have a separate operational management, which reports to the Chief
Executive Officer, through the North and South Central Vice-President of Operations, respectively.
Income and expenses of the Head Office are allocated to the defined operating segments.
Presentation of Financial Statements – The Corporation presents (i) its statements of financial
position classified as “current and non-current”, (ii) profit or loss and other comprehensive income in
one statement and the classification of expenses within profit or loss by function, and (iii) its statement
of cash flows using the direct method.
Current and non-current financial assets – The Corporation determines the classification of its
financial assets at the time of initial recognition. The classification depends on the business model in
which the investments are managed and the contractual characteristics of their cash flows.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The Corporation’s financial assets are classified into the following categories:
Fair value through profit or loss:
Initial recognition: This category includes those financial assets not qualifying under the categories
of Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income or Amortized Cost. These instruments are
initially recognized at fair value.
Subsequent recognition: Their subsequent recognition is at fair value, recording in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, in the line “Other gains (losses)” any changes in fair value.
Amortized cost:
Initial recognition: This category includes those instruments with respect to which the objective of
the business model of the Corporation is to hold the financial instrument to collect contractual cash
flows and such cash flows consist of solely payments of principal and interest. This category
includes Trade and other current receivables, and the loans included in other non-current financial
assets.
Subsequent recognition: These instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest method. The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the
financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative
amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and
the maturity amount, adjusted for any impairment allowance.
Codelco did not irrevocably choose to designate any of its investment assets at fair value with effect
on other comprehensive income.
Interest income ¡is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated by applying the effective interest
rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. For financial assets measured at amortized
cost that are not part of a designated hedging relationship, exchange differences are recognized in
profit or loss in the “Foreign exchange difference” line item.
At fair value through other comprehensive income:
Initial measurement: Financial assets that meet the criteria “Solely payments of principal and
interest” (SPPI) are classified in this category and must be maintained within a business model both
to collect the cash flows and to sell the financial assets. These instruments are initially recognized
at fair value.
Subsequent recognition: Their subsequent valuation is at fair value. Interest income calculated
using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are
recognized in income. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On derecognition, the gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to income.
w) Financial liabilities – Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs.
y)
Subsequent to their initial recognition, the valuation of the financial liabilities will depend on their
classification, within which the following categories are distinguished:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: This category includes financial liabilities
defined as held for trading.
The Corporation includes is this category certain hedge contracts and the equity and debt instruments
sold in the short-term, which are classified as held for trading.
Changes in fair value associated with own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost: This category includes all financial liabilities other than those
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Corporation includes in this category bonds, obligations and other current payables.
These financial liabilities are measured using the effective interest rate method, recognizing interest
expense based on the effective rate.
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability
and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or
where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Trade and other current payables are financial liabilities that do not explicitly accrue interest and are
recognized at their nominal value, which approximates their fair value.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the liabilities are paid or expire.
Impairment of financial assets – The Corporation measures the loss allowance at an amount equal
to lifetime expected credit losses for its trade receivables. For this, it uses the simplified approach as a
requirement under IFRS 9.
The provision matrix is based on an entity’s historical credit loss experience over the expected life of
the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents and statement of cash flows prepared using the direct method – The
statement of cash flows reflects changes in cash and cash equivalents that took place during the period,
determined under the direct method.

For the purposes of preparing the statement of cash flows, the Corporation has defined the following:
– Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash or cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid
investments maturing in less than three months with a low risk of changes in value.
– — Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the Corporation and other
activities that are not investing or financing activities.
– Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments
not included in cash equivalents.
– — Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of net equity
and borrowings of the Corporation.
Bank overdrafts are classified as external resources in current liabilities.
Law No. 13196 – Law No. 13196 requires the payment of a 10% special export tax on receivables of
the sales proceeds that Codelco receives and transfers to Chile from the export of copper and related
by-products produced by Codelco. The Chilean Central Bank deducts 10% of the amounts that Codelco
transferred to its Chilean bank account. The amount recognized for this concept is presented in the
statement of income within line item other expenses.
On January 27, 2017, Law No. 20989, article 3, establishes changes in the application of Law No.
13196 as of January 1, 2018, through which the Corporation will deposit annually, no later than
December 15 of each year, the funds established in article 1 in that law.
Cost of sales – Cost of sales is determined according to the absorption costing method, including the
direct and indirect costs, depreciation, amortization and any other expenses directly attributable to the
production process.
Environment – The Corporation adheres to the principles of sustainable development, which foster the
economic development while safekeeping the environment and the health and safety of its
collaborators. The Corporation recognizes that these principles are central for the well-being of its
collaborators, care for the environment and success in its operations.
Classification of current and non-current balances – In the consolidated statement of financial
position, the balances are classified according to their maturities, that is, as current for those with a
maturity equal to or less than twelve months and as non-current for those with a greater maturity.
Where there are obligations whose maturity is less than twelve months, but whose long-term
refinancing is insured upon a decision by the Corporation whose intention is to refinance, through credit
agreements available unconditionally with long-term maturity, these could be classified as non-current
liabilities.

ad) Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposition classified as held for sale: The
Corporation classifies as non-current assets or groups of assets for disposal, classified as held for sale,
properties, plants and equipment, investments in associates and groups subject to expropriation (group
of assets that are going to be disposed of together with their directly related liabilities), for which, at the
closing date of the financial statements, their sale has been committed to or steps have been initiated
and it is estimated that it will be carried out within the twelve months following said date. These assets
or groups subject to disposal are valued at book value or the estimated sale value minus the costs
necessary for sale, whichever is less, and are no longer amortized from the moment they are classified
as non-current assets held for sale. Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposal classified as
held for sale and the components of the groups subject to disposal classified as held for sale are
presented in the consolidated statement of financial position on a line for each ofthe following concepts:
“Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposition classified as held for sale” and “Non-current
liabilities or groups of liabilities for disposition classified as held for sale.”
New standards and interpretations adopted by the Corporation
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent
with those applied in the preparation of the Corporation’s annual consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2017, except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations and amendments,
effective from January 1, 2018, which are:
a) IFRS 9, Financial Instruments:
Due to the transition alternatives indicated in IFRS 9, no balances have been adjusted for comparative
periods corresponding to the year 2017.
The initial application date of IFRS 9 is January 1, 2018, and the difference between the recorded amounts
in comparative periods and those recorded at the date of initial application were recorded in Accumulated
Deficit as a gain of ThUS $ 2,282 (see detail below).
Classification of financial assets and liabilities
The adoption of IFRS 9 involved, first, reassessing the classification of financial assets and liabilities, based
on the new definition included in this standard. |n this sense, and in accordance with the business model in
which Codelco manages its investments and the contractual characteristics of the cash flows of such, the
classification of financial assets and liabilities under IFRS 9 and adopted by the Corporation (disclosed in
notes 13 and 14 of section lll of these Consolidated Financial Statements), resulted solely in a
reclassification of the trade and accounts receivable subject to provisional pricing. Such receivables
classification has been changed from amortized cost to fair value through profit and loss. Previously, the
provisional pricing element was separated as an embedded derivative. Under IFRS 9, the receivable ¡is
classified at fair value through profit and loss considering the receivable as a hybrid contract.This
reclassification under IFRS 9 did not result in any adjustments to accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018.

Impairment
Regarding the guidance in IFRS 9 related to the application of the expected credit loss model under the
approach described in note 2 of the Significant Accounting Policies, letter x), the application resulted in the
recognition of a loss allowance over the accounts receivable balances at the date of initial application as
indicated below:
Effects of IFRS 9 on Trade and other current receivables as of January 1, 2018 ThUS$
Net trade and other current receivables balance as of January 1, 2018, under accounting 2,815,352
criteria prior to IFRS 9
Transition adjustment to IFRS 9 – allowance for doubtful accounts (2,239)
Net trade and other current receivables balance as of January 1, 2018, adjusted by IFRS 9 2,813,113
Financial Liabilities
Another topic of the adoption of IFRS 9 that had an effect on Codelco ¡s related to the financial liabilities
refinanced during July 2017, which resulted in the continuation of the deferral and subsequent amortization
of certain financial costs relating to the original financing due to the non-substantial modification of
contractual flows under lAS 39. Under IFRS 9, a modified gain/loss is required to be calculated with respect
to such modification which for purposes of the first application of the new standard, resulted in the
recognition of an adjustment to the balances of bond obligations at the date of transition as indicated below:
Effects of IFRS 9 on Other non-current financial liabilities as of January 1, 2018 ThUS$
Other non-current financial liabilities balance as of January 1, 2018, under accounting 14,648,004
criteria prior to IFRS 9
Transition adjustment to IFRS 9 (9,846)
Other non-current financial liabilities balance as of January 1, 2018, adjusted for IFRS 9 14,638,158
Hedge accounting
In terms of hedge accounting established by IFRS 9, the Corporation has opted to continue applying the
hedge accounting requirements of the IAS 39 instead of the requirements of the new standard. Therefore,
the generated no effects both at the level of account balances or at the level of disclosures.

Finally, the net effect on initial application of IFRS 9 on Codelco’s accumulated deficit, considering the
amounts previously indicated, was as follows:
Effects of IFRS 9 on accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 ThUS$
Accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018, under accounting criteria (36,672)
prior to IFRS 9
Transition adjustments to IFRS 9, net of deferred taxes 2,282
Accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018, adjusted for IFRS 9. (34,390)
b) IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 establishes a new model for the recognition of income, which highlights the concept of the transfer
to the client of the “control” of assets sold in place of the “risk” transfer concept referred to in IAS 18.
Additionally, it requires more detail in disclosures and makes more in-depth reference to contracts with sale
of multiple elements. The application of IFRS 15 has not materially affected the measurements of Codelco’s
revenue, and the disclosures required by this standard are set forth in notes 21 and 26 of section l1l ofthese
Consolidated Financial Statements.
c) Amendments to IFRS 4, Applying IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” with IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”:
It instructs on aspects related to insurance contracts that will be affected upon entry into application of IFRS
9 – Financial Instruments. The application of these amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation, however, it could affect the accounting for future transactions or agreements.
d) Amendments to IAS 40, Transfers of investment property:
These amendments clarify the requirements for the treatment of investment property transfers. The
application of these amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation,
however, it could affect the accounting for future transactions or agreements.
e) IFRIC 22 Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:
This interpretation addresses the exchange rate to be used in foreign currency transactions, when the
consideration is paid or received before recognizing related revenue, expenses or related assets. The

3. Balance and transactions with related parties
a) Transactions with related persons
In accordance with the Law on New Corporate Governance and lAS 24, the members of Codelco’s
Board are, in terms of transactions with related persons, subject to the provisions of Title XVI of Law
on Corporations, which sets the requirements regarding transactions with related parties in publicly
traded companies and their subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the provisions of the final paragraph of Article 147 b) of Title
XVI, which contains exceptions to the approval process for transactions with related parties, the
Corporation has established a general policy over customary transactions (which was informed
through a significant event notice to the CMF), that defines customary transactions as those carried
out with its related parties in the normal course of business, which contributes to the social interest and
are necessary to the normal development of Codelco’s activities.
Likewise, consistent with the legal framework, the Corporation maintains within its internal framework
a specific policy about transactions between related persons and companies with Codelco’s
employees. Codelco’s Corporate Policy No.18 (*CCP No. 18”), the latest version currently in force, was
approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors.

Accordingly, Codelco without the authorization required in CCP No. 18 and of the Board of Directors,
when required by Law or by the Corporation by-laws, shall not enter into any contracts or agreements
involving one or more Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, the members of Division’s Managing
Committees, Vice-presidents, Legal Counsel, General Auditor, Division Chief Executive Officers,
Advisors of Senior Management, employees who must make recommendations and/or have the
authority to award tenders, assignments of purchases and/or contracting goods and services, and
employees in management positions (up to fourth hierarchical level in the organization), including their
spouses, children and other relatives up to second degree of relation, with a direct interest, represented
by third parties or on behalf of another person. Likewise, CCP No. 18 requires administrators of
Corporation’s contracts to declare all related persons, and disqualify himself/herself if any related
persons are involved within the field of his/her job responsibilities.
This prohibition also includes the companies in which such administrators are involved through
ownership or management, either directly or through representation of other natural persons or legal
entities, as well as those individuals who also have ownership or management in those companies.
The Board of Directors has been informed and approved certain transactions as defined in CCP No.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Corporation has recognized unrealized profits of
ThUS$3,920 (ThUS$3,920 as of December 31, 2017) for the service transaction related to the use of

Investments in associates acquired
On August 24, 2012, Codelco recognized the acquisition of ownership interest in Anglo American Sur
S.A. which resulted in the initial recognition of the cost of the investment for ThUS$6,490,000 that
corresponded to the proportionate share (29.5%) of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities acquired.
In determining the share of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, the
Corporation considered the resources and mineral reserves that could be measured reliably and the
assessment of intangibles and all other considerations about contingent assets and liabilities.
The allocation of the purchase price at fair value between the identifiable assets and liabilities was
prepared by management using its best estimate and taking into account all relevant and available
information at the acquisition date of Anglo American Sur S.A.
The acquisition did not result in obtaining control of the acquired company.
The Corporation used a discounted cash flows model to estimate cash flow projections, based on the
life of mine. These projections were based on estimated production and future prices of minerals,
operating costs and capital costs, among other estimates made at the date of acquisition. Additionally,
proven and probable resources to explore were not included in the mine plan, therefore, they were
valued separately using a market model. Such resources are included in item “Mineral Resources.”
As part of this process and by applying the valuation criteria indicated above, the fair value of the net
assets of Anglo American Sur S.A. was US$22,646 million, therefore the proportionate share acquired
by Inversiones Mineras Becrux SpA (29.5%) was equivalent to US$6,681 million at the acquisition date.
Additional information on impairment of investments accounted for using the equity method
As of December 31, 2015, the Corporation identified indicators of impairment in the operating units of
Anglo American Sur S.A. Consequently, and with the purpose of making the corresponding
adjustments to the investment in this associate, the Corporation estimated its recoverable amount.
In determining the recoverable amount, the Corporation applied the methodology of fair value less
costs of disposal. The recoverable amount of the operating units was determined based on the life of
mine by using a discounted cash flow model whose main assumptions included ore reserves declared
by the associate, copper price, supply costs, foreign exchange rates, discount rate and market
information for the long-term asset valuation. The discount rate used was annual rate of 8% after taxes.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
Furthermore, the proven reserves not included in the LOM, as well as the probable reserves to explore,
have been valued using a multiples market approach for comparable transactions. Such methodology
is consistent with the methodologies used at the acquisition date, which is described in letter c) above.
The recoverable amount as estimated was less than the carrying amount of the identified assets of the
associate, therefore, the Corporation recognized an impairment loss of ThUS$2,439,495, which was
included within the line item “Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using
the equity method” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended
December 31, 2015.
The impairment loss was mainly attributable to the drop in copper prices during the year 2015.
Subsequent to recognition of the impairment, there has been no indicators requiring the recognition of
further impairment losses on the recoverable amount of the investment held in Anglo American Sur
S.A.
As of December 31, 2016, the parent company of Anglo American Sur S.A. reviewed the discounted
cash flow model of its cash generating units (CGU), determining an impairment loss for the El Soldado
CGU of US$200 million due to the uncertainty related to obtaining the required approval of its
operational plan from the National Mining and Geology Service (“SERNAGEOMIN” in its Spanish
acronym), which raised questions about the generation of future economic benefits to support the value
of the assets related to such CGU.
Consequently, and with the purpose of making the corresponding adjustments to the recognition its
investment in the associate, the Corporation estimated its recoverable amount by considering the fair
value of the identified net assets of the associate El Soldado. The recoverable amount as estimated
was less than the carrying amount of the identified assets of the associate, therefore, the Corporation
recognized an impairment loss of ThUS$78,811 over the identified assets related to El Soldado
operations, which was included within the line item “Share of profit or loss of associates and joint
ventures accounted for using the equity method” in the statement of comprehensive income for the
year ended December 31, 2016.
On April 27, 2017, the SERNAGEOMIN approved the updated mine plan for El Soldado, based on this
resolution Anglo American Sur S.A. has resumed the operations of the mine. Consequently, the
company recognized a reversal of an impairment loss for US$193 million.
As of December 31, 2017, Codelco made a corresponding adjustment to the identified assets at the
acquisition date of the investment associated with El Soldado operations by recognizing a reversal of
an impairment loss of ThUS$67,277, which is presented in the line item “Share of profit or loss of
associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.”
As of December 31, 2018, there are no indicators of impairment, therefore, there have been no
adjustments recognized to the carrying amounts of the assets.

e) Share of profit or loss for the year
The share in profit or loss of the associate Anglo American Sur S.A. recognized for the year ended
December 31, 2018 was income of ThUS$113,544 (income of ThUS$106,766 for the year ended

profit or loss in the associate for depreciation of the depreciable assets based on the fair values at the
acquisition date, which resulted in an expense of ThUS$13,835 for the year ended December 31, 2018

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
(2) increasing the pace of mineral extraction; and (3) simultaneous mineral extraction from different
sections.
This project began in 2005, when the first conceptual tests were made, and in 2007 and 2008 it was
applied at the pilot level and from 2009 the basic and detailed engineering and the construction phase
for industrial validation at the West sector of third panel of Andina Division were performed, which was
expected to be carried out through 2018. lt was expected that its subsequent implementation would be
at Chuquicamata Underground and of the new mining projects of Codelco. During the 2018 period,
project studies were carried out and Management has decided not to continue with it.
In view of the discontinuance of the project during the first quarter of 2018, a write-off of US$71.7 million
before tax (US$25 million after taxes) associated with basic engineering, construction and equipment
was recognized in profit or loss. In addition, US$103.6 million were reclassified to Property, plant and
equipment in relation to those assets that might potentially be used in other operations and / or projects
of the Corporation. As a result of a subsequent review, an additional write-off for US$66.4 million (see
note 8 Property, plant and equipment) of assets was recognized. Consequently, the total write-offs as
of December 31, 2018, related to this project is US$138.1 million (US$48 million after taxes).
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no fully amortized intangible assets that are still in use.
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, research and technological development and
innovation expenditures recognized in assets were ThUS$6,816 and ThUS$6,884, respectively. On
the other hand, research recognized in expense was ThUS$10,042 and ThUS$13,552 for the years

Loans from financial institutions:
The loans obtained by the Corporation aim to finance production operations oriented towards the foreign
market.
On August 23, 2012, the subsidiary Inversiones Gacrux SpA (Gacrux) signed a credit agreement with
Oriente Copper Netherlands BV (a subsidiary of Mitsui 8, Co, Ltd, (“Mitsui”)) for approximately US$1,863
million, renewable monthly until November 26, 2012, after which, if not paid or renegotiated, will
automatically become a loan with a 7.5 year maturity from the date of disbursement, and an annual rate
Libor + 2.5%. This loan has no underlying guarantees given by Codelco.
The proceeds from the loan were used by Codelco’s indirect subsidiary Inversiones Mineras Becrux SpA
to acquire 24.5% ofthe shares of Anglo American Sur S.A., including other acquisition-related expenses.
On October 31, 2012, the credit agreement was amended, the new terms established an annual fixed
interest rate of 3.25% and a 20-year maturity, to be paid in 40 semi-annual installments of principal and
interest, and maintaining the “non-recourse” (no underlying guarantee) condition. Under previous
agreements, Mitsui is entitled to an additional interest equivalent to one-third of the savings obtained by
Gacrux under the renegotiated credit as compared to the conditions from the credit agreement originally
signed. Thus, Mitsui (through its subsidiary) held an option to acquire from Gacrux an additional 15.25%
of the shares of Inversiones Mineras Acrux SpA (“Acrux”), at a fixed price of approximately US$998
million. These funds were fully allocated to a portion of Gacrux’s debt under the Credit Agreement.
On November 26, 2012, Mitsui exercised the call option and acquired the additional ownership interest
in Acrux. The proceeds received were used by Codelco to partially pre-pay the debt with Mitsui.
On November 26, 2016, Codelco signed a credit agreement with Oriente Copper Netherlands BV
renegotiating the payment of principal at the end ofthe contract. The terms established an annual interest
rate of Libor +2.5% with a 5 year maturity to be payable in one installment at maturity with semi-annual
interest payment.
On May 26, 2017, Codelco signed a credit agreement with Oriente Copper Netherlands BV renegotiating
the semi-annual payment. The terms established an annual interest rate of Libor +2.5% with a 5 year
maturity to be payable in one installment at maturity with semi-annual interest payment.
The credit agreements obtained in 2016 and 2017, mentioned above, were paid on May 23, 2018.

and 2017, amounts to TRUS$311,399 and ThUS$217,031, respectively.
Fair Value of financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of financial assets is a reasonable approximation to their fair value, therefore, no
additional disclosures are required in accordance with IFRS 7.
Regarding financial liabilities, the following table shows a comparison as of December 31, 2018 between
the carrying amount and the fair value of financial liabilities other than those whose carrying amount is a
reasonable approximation of fair value.

Fair value hierarchy
The estimated fair value for the Corporation’s portfolio of financial instruments is based on valuation
techniques and observable inputs. Considering the hierarchy of the data used in these valuation techniques,
the assets and liabilities measured at fair value can be classified into the following levels:
+» Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+ Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or
liabilities, either directly (i,e, as prices) or indirectly (i,e, derived from prices).
+ Level 3: Inputs are significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

19. Employee benefits
a. Provisions for post-employment benefits and other long term benefits
Provision for post-employment benefits mainly corresponds to employee severance indemnities and
medical care plans. The provision for severance indemnities recognizes the contractual obligation that
the Corporation has with its employees/retirees regardless of the reason for employee’s departure. The
provision for medical care plans recognizes the contractual obligation that the Corporation has with its
retirees/employees to cover their medical care costs.
Both long-term employee benefits are stated in the terms of employment contracts and collective
bargaining agreements as agreed to by the Corporation and its employees.
These defined benefit liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position, at the present value
of the defined benefit obligation. The discount rate applied is determined by reference to the market
yields of government bonds in the same currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit
obligations.
The defined benefit obligations are denominated in Chilean pesos, therefore the Corporation is exposed
to foreign exchange rate risk.
Actuarial gains and losses resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions and experience adjustments
are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no significant changes in post-employment benefits
plans.

Expected Retirement Age (Men) 60 60 60 60
Expected Retirement Age (Women) 59 59 59 59
The discount rates correspond to the rates in the secondary market of government bonds issued in Chile.
The annual inflation corresponds to the long-term expectation set by the Central Bank of Chile. The
turnover rates were determined using the past three years of historical experience of the Corporation’s
employee departure behavior. The expected rate of salary increases has been estimated using the long-
term behavior of historical salaries paid by the Corporation. The mortality tables used were those issued
by the CMF, which are considered an appropriate representation of the Chilean market given the lack of
comparable statistical series to develop independent studies. The period over which the obligation is
being amortized corresponds to the estimate of the period over which the cash flows will occur.

The technical revaluation (actuarial gain/loss as defined under IAS 19) of the liability for compensation
benefits for years of service has been made, for the year ended December 31, 2018. Such was charged
to equity, which consists of an actuarial loss of ThUS$16,576, corresponding primarily to a change in
financial assumptions. . Such charge to equity is broken down into a loss of ThUS$15,584 for the
revaluation of financial assumptions and an experience loss of ThUS$992.
For the obligation generated by health benefit plans, an actuarial loss of ThUS$30,200 has been
determined, consisting primarily of an adjustment for financial assumptions which is composed of a loss
for changes in the financial assumptions of ThUS$25,930; and an experience loss of ThUS$4,270.
The balance of the defined benefit liability as of December 31, 2018, comprises a short term portion of
ThUS$27,247 and ThUS$460 for the termination indemnities plan and the medical care plan,
respectively. The expected amount of the defined benefit liability projected at December 31, 2019,
consists of ThUS$881,076 for the termination indemnities plan and ThUS$457,843 for the medical care
plan. The expected monthly average future disbursements related to defined benefit plans are of
ThUS$2,271 for termination indemnities and of TRUS$38 for medical care.
The following table sets forth the sensitivity analysis of the value of the each line item for a change,
respectively, from the medium (used in the estimate recorded) to the low and from the medium to the

c. Retirement plans and conflict termination bonus
The Corporation under its operational optimization programs seeks to reduce costs and increase labor
productivity, and through the incorporation of modern technologies and/or best management practices
has established employee retirement programs by making corresponding modifications to employment
contracts or collective bargaining agreements, with benefits encouraging early retirement. The early
retirement plans are recognized as a liability and expense as the Corporation can no longer withdraw
the offer of those benefits.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the termination benefits current balance was ThUS$17,620 and
ThUS$7,987, respectively, while the non-current balance was ThUS$8,355 and ThUS$9,494,
respectively. The non-current portion is associated with the provision related to the term of the collective
bargaining process that Codelco’s management negotiated during the month of December 2012 with the
employee unions of the Chuquicamata Division. The non-current amounts recognized have been
discounted using a discount rate equivalent to that used for calculating employee benefits provisions and
whose outstanding balances are part of the balances as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
d. Employee benefits expenses

In accordance with article 6 of Decree Law 1350 of 1976, it is established that, before March 30 of each
year, the Board must approve the Corporation’s Business and Development Plan for the next three-year

immediately preceding year and aiming to ensure its competitiveness, before June 30 of each year the
amounts that the Corporation shall allocate to the formation of capitalization funds and reserves shall be
determined by decree from the Ministries of Mining and Treasury.
Net income shown in the balance sheets, after deducting the amounts referred to in the previous paragraph,
shall belong to the State and becomes part of the Nation’s general income.
Pursuant to the Exempt Decree No. 184 of June 27, 2014 of the Ministry of Finance, the Corporation was
authorized to capitalize US$200 million of the net profit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2013.
Those resources were charged to the profits of 2014.
On October 24, 2014, the President of the Republic of Chile signed Law No. 20790. Such Law sets forth an
extraordinary capital contribution of up to US$3 billion for the Corporation during the period of 2014-2018.
The resources obtained from such capital contribution, together with the capitalization of the profits obtained
during such period — up to US$800 million — generated in that period, will serve to boost the Investment
Plan in mining projects, sustainability, mining development and renewal of equipment and industrial plants.
At December 31, 2014, there were no capitalized resources under such statute.
Pursuant to the Exempt Finance Decree (Decree No. 197 of December 31, 2015 issued by the Ministry of
Finance), the Corporation was authorized to capitalize US$225 million of the net profit registered in the
financial statements as of December 31, 2014.
Those resources were to be taken from the profits for year 2015 for their capitalization.
Pursuant to the ORD Finance Ministry Officio No. 1410 dated on May 27, 2016, it was established that the
aforementioned Decree confirms the impossibility of capitalizing the aforementioned US$225 million,
consequently the capitalization fund comprised of said amount was reversed.
On October 28, 2015, it was reported that after reviewing the Development Business Plan 2014-2018 for
Codelco, it was decided to make a capital contribution of US$600 million that was made effective on
December 2, 2015.
On December 1, 2016, it was informed that, pursuant to Article 1 of Law No. 20790, it was decided to make
an extraordinary capital contribution of US$500 million, which was made effective on December 28, 2016.
Both capital contributions were funded by the Public Treasury through the sale of financial assets.

Impairment of Assets
As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation made a calculation of the recoverable amount of its cash
generating unit Windows Division, for the purpose of checking the existence of a deterioration in the value
of the assets associated with said division, the carrying amount of which amounted to US$323 million.
The aforementioned calculation of the recoverable amount determined a value of US$124 million, which
compared with the amount in books, implied an acknowledgment of an impairment loss of assets for
ThUS$ 198,898 (before tax), which was recorded in the Other item expenses by function, of the
comprehensive income statement for the year 2018 (note 24b).
The recoverable amount determined for the calculation of the impairment loss corresponds to value in use
using a 7.2% annual discount rate before taxes. The main variables used to determine the recoverable
amount of this asset correspond to the price of acid, cost of treatment and refining, exchange rates and
discount rates.
The aforementioned loss due to impairment is mainly generated by the fall in the costs of treatment and
refining.
As of December 31, 2017, the Corporation recognized a reversal of a portion of the impairment loss
previously recognized on the Anglo American Sur investment (Explanatory Note 9).
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 there are no signs of additional deterioration or reversals of impairment
recognized in previous years.

29. Financial risk management, objectives and policies
Codelco has committees within its organization to set out strategies allowing to reduce the financial risks to
which it may be exposed.
The risks to which Codelco is exposed and a brief description of the management procedures that are
carried out in each case, are described below:
a. Financial risks
– Exchange rate risk:
According to IFRS 7, exchange rate risk is understood to be the risk that arises from financial
instruments that are denominated in foreign currencies, that is, a currency other than the
Corporation’s functional currency (US dollar).
Codelco’s activities that generate this exposure correspond to funding in UF, accounts payable and
receivable in Chilean pesos, other foreign currencies used in its business operations and obligations
with employees.
F-217
CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The majority of transactions in currencies other than US$ are denominated in Chilean pesos. Also,
there is another portion in Euro, which corresponds mainly to a long-term loan issued through the
international market, which exchange rate risk is mitigated with hedging instruments (Swap).
Taking into consideration the financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 as the base, a
fluctuation (positive or negative) of 10 Chilean pesos against the U.S. dollar (keeping the other
variables constant), could affect profits before taxes by US$33 million in net income, respectively.
This result is obtained by identifying the main items (including assets and financial liabilities)
denominated in foreign currencies in order to measure the impact on profit or loss that a variation
of +/- 10 Chilean pesos would have in terms of US$, with respect to the closing exchange rate at the
end of the reporting period.
As of December 31, 2018, the balance of time deposits denominated in Chilean pesos was
ThUS$270,021 (ThUS$252,161 as of December 31, 2017).
Interest rate risk:
This risk arises from interest rate fluctuations in Codelco’s investment and financing activities. This
movement can affect future cash flows or the market value of fixed rate financial instruments.
These rate variations refer to U.S. dollar variations, mostly with respect to the LIBOR rate. To manage
this risk, Codelco maintains an adequate combination of fixed and variable rate debt, which is
complemented by the possibility of using interest-rate derivatives to meet the strategic guidelines
defined by Codelco’s Corporate Finance Department.
Itis estimated that, on the basis of net debt balance as of December 31, 2018, a 1% change in interest
rates on the financial liabilities subject to variable interest rates would mean approximately a US$19
million change in finance costs, before tax. This estimation is made by identifying the liabilities
assigned to variable interest, accrued at the end of the financial statements, which may vary with a
change of one percentage point in variable interest rates.
Total fixed and variable interest rate obligations maintained by Codelco as of December 31, 2018
corresponds to amounts of ThUS$13,377,093 and ThUS$1,880,592, respectively.
Market risks
– — Commodity price risk:
As a result of its commercial operations and activities, the Corporation’s income is mainly exposed
to the volatility of copper prices and certain sub-products such as gold and silver.
Copper and molybdenum concentrate sale agreements and copper cathode sale agreements
generally provide for provisional pricing of sales at the time of shipment, with final pricing based
on the monthly average market price for specified future periods. At the reporting date, the
F-218
CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
provisionally priced metal sales are marked-to-market, with adjustments (both gains and losses)
being recorded in revenues in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Forward
prices at the period-end are used for copper sales, while period-end average prices are used for
molybdenum concentrate sales due to the absence of an assets futures market. (See Note 2.r)
“Income from Activities Ordinary Procedures from Contracts with Customers “of section 11” Main
policies countable “).
For the year ended December 31, 2018, if the future price of copper fluctuates by + / – 5% (with
the other variables constant), the result would vary + / – US$167 million before taxes as a result
of setting the mark to market of sales revenue to provisional prices in effect as of December 31,
2018 (MTMF 564). For the estimate indicated, all of those physical sales contracts were valued
according to the monthly average immediately following the close of the financial statements, and
proceeds to be estimated regarding what the final settlement price will be if there ¡is a difference
of + / – 5% with respect to the future price known to date for this period.
In order to protect cash flow and adjust, where necessary, ¡ts sales contracts to its trade policy,
the Corporation holds operations in futures markets. At the end of the reporting period, these
contracts are adjusted to fair value, recording this effect, at the settlement date of the hedging
transactions as part of net product sales.
As of December 31, 2018, a variation of U.S. £ 1 in the price per pound of copper, considering
derivatives contracted by the Corporation, involves a change in income or payments for existing
contracts (exposures) of US$1.7 million before taxes. This calculation is obtained from a
simulation curves of future copper prices, which are used to assess the subscribed derivative
instruments by the Corporation; estimations would vary with respect to the exposure related these
instruments if there is an increase of U.S. $0.01 decrease in the price per pound of copper.
The Corporation has not entered into any hedging transactions with the specific purpose of
hedging the price risk caused by fluctuations in prices of production inputs.
Cc. Liquidity risk
The Corporation ensures that it has sufficient resources, such as pre-approved credit lines (including
refinancing), in order to meet short-term requirements, after considering the necessary working capital
for its operations and any other commitments it has.
In this sense, Codelco Chile maintains resources at its disposal sufficient to meet its obligations,
whether in cash, liquid financial instruments or credit facilities.
In addition, the Finance Department constantly monitors the Corporation’s cash flow projections based
on short and long term projections and available financing alternatives. In addition, the Corporation
estimates that it has enough headroom to increase the level of borrowing for the normal requirements
of its operations and investments established in its development plan.

In this context, according to current existing commitments with creditors, the cash requirements to
cover financial liabilities classified by maturity and presented in the statement of financial position are
detailed as follows:

Other financial liabilities 371 63,972 –
Total 872,277 3,829,425 10,845,085
d. Credit risk
This risk comprises the possibility that a third party does not fulfill its contractual obligations, thereby
causing a loss for the Corporation.
Given the Corporation’s sales policy, principally with cash and advance payments and bank letters of
credit, the uncollectability of client debt balances is minimal. This is complemented by the familiarity
the Corporation has with its clients and the length of time it has operated with them. Therefore, the
credit risk of these transactions is not significant.
The indications with respect to the payment conditions to the Corporation are detailed in every sales
contract and the negotiation management is under the charge of the Vice Presidency of Marketing.
In general, the Corporation’s other accounts receivable have a high credit quality according to the
Corporation’s evaluations, based on each debtor’s solvency analysis and payment history.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2018 ¡is represented by the financial asset
items presented in the Corporation’s Statement of Financial Position.
The Corporation’s accounts receivable do not include customers with balances that could be classified
as a significant concentration of debt and would represent a material exposure for Codelco. This
exposure is distributed among a large number of clients and other counterparties.
In the customer items, the provisions, which are not significant, are included based on the review of
the outstanding balances and characteristics of the clients, destined to cover eventual insolvencies.
In explanatory note 2, trade and other receivables presents past due balances that have not been
impaired.

CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
The Corporation estimates that unimpaired amounts overdue over 30 days are recoverable based on
clients’ historical payment behavior and their existing credit ratings.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no receivable balances that have been renegotiated.
Codelco works with major banks, which have high national and international ratings, and continually
assesses them; therefore, the risk that could affect the availability of the Corporation’s funds and
financial instruments is not significant.
Also, in some cases, to minimize credit risk, the Corporation has contracted credit insurance policies
through which it transfers to third parties the commercial risk associated with some aspects of its
business.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, no guarantees have been executed to ensure
the collection of third party debt.
Personnel loans mainly related to mortgage loans, according to programs included in union
agreements, which are paid for through payroll discounts.
30. Derivatives contracts
The Corporation has entered into transactions to hedge cash flows, to minimize the risk of foreign exchange
rate variations and sales price variations, detailed as follows:
a. Hedges
The Corporation has taken measures to protect itself from exchange rate and interest rate variations,
where the positive fair value of such derivative, net of taxes, amounts to ThUS$27,346.

31. Contingencies and restrictions
a) Litigations and contingencies

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of US dollars of the United States of America, except as indicated in other currency or unit)
(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
In the opinion of Management and its legal advisors, the lawsuits where the Corporation is being sued
and could have negative results do not represent significant loss contingencies or cash flows. Codelco
defends its rights and employs all corresponding relevant legal instances, resources and procedures.
The most significant lawsuits that involve Codelco are related to the following matters:
– Tax proceedings: There is a tax proceeding for liquidation No.141 of tax year 2015 and
Exempt Resolution No. 89 of 2016 issued by the Internal Revenue Service (SIl), for which the
Corporation presented the corresponding appeals, which were received and resolved in favor of the
Tax and Customs Courts, a resolution that was appealed by the SI!.
– Labor proceedings: Labor proceedings brought by the workers of the Andina Division against the
Corporation with regard to occupational diseases (silicosis).
– Mining proceedings and others arising from the Operation: The Corporation has been participating,
and will probably continue to participate, as plaintiff and defendant in given court proceedings
involving its mining operation and activities, through which it seeks to exercise certain actions or set
up certain defenses in relation to given mining concessions that have been established or are in the
process of being established, as well as also with regard to its other activities. These proceedings
currently do not involve any given amount and do not have any essential effect on Codelco’s
development.
– As of December 31, 2018, the total of lawsuits filed against the National Corporation of the Copper
amounts to ThUS$103,378, which represents the estimate made by the legal advisors of the
Corporation subject to consideration under IAS 37. An analysis, case by case, has revealed that
there is a total of 358 causes with an estimated amount of ThUS$103,378, of which, 248 causes that
represent 69.27% of the universe, and that amounts to ThUS$69,334 (judgments reported as
probable and possible loss for the Corporation), which could have a negative result for the
Corporation. There are also 44 causes, which represent a 12.29% for an amount of ThUS$33,444,
over which there is no security that ¡ts failure be contrary to the Corporation. For the remaining 66
cases, for an amount of ThUS$ 600 legal advisors of the Corporation estimate that the probability of
loss is remote.
– Lawsuit under administrative law: On August 2, 2017, a Nullity in Public Law claim was filed in the
25th Civil Court of Santiago against Audit Report No. 900 of 2016, issued by the General
Comptrollership of the Republic on May 10, 2017. At this date, the discussion stage has been
completed and the evidence submitting stage should start soon.
For litigations with a probable unfavorable outcome for the Corporation, the necessary provisions has
been recognized as “provisions for legal proceedings.”

b) Other Commitments
i. On May 31, 2005, Codelco, through its subsidiary Codelco International Ltd. signed an agreement
with Minmetals to form a company, CuPIC, in which both companies have an equal equity interest.
A 15-year copper cathode sales contract to that associated company was agreed upon, as well as
a purchase contract from Minmetals to CupiCfor the same period and for equal monthly shipments
to complete a total of 836,250 metric tons. Each shipment shall be paid for by the buyer at a price
formed by a fixed re-adjustable component plus a variable component, which depends on current
copper prices at the time of shipment.
During the first quarter of 2006 and on the basis ofthe negotiated financial terms, financing contracts
were formalized with the China Development Bank allowing CuPIC to make the US$550 million
advance payment to Codelco in March 2006.
With regard to financial obligations incurred by the associate CuPIC with the China Development
Bank, Codelco Chile and Codelco International Ltd, must meet certain commitments, mainly relating
to the delivery of financial information. In addition, Codelco Chile must maintain 51% ownership of
Codelco International Limited.
According to the Sponsor Agreement, dated March 8, 2006, the Codelco International Ltd.
subsidiary gave its participation in CuPIC as a guarantee to the China Development Bank.
Subsequently, on March 14, 2012, CUuPIC paid off its debt to the abovementioned bank. As of
December 31, 2017. Codelco does not hold any indirect guarantee regarding its participation in this
associated company.
On December 17, 2015, the Codelco administration presented a restructuring for the Supply
Contract, which implies the removal of its share in CUPIC.
On April 7, 2016, the Corporation formalized the removal of its share in CUPIC, of which Codelco
retained 50% ownership through the subsidiary Codelco International. Until that date, Codelco
shared the ownership of the Company in the same proportion with the company Album Enterprises
Limited (a subsidiary of Minmetals).
In order to realize the above mentioned term of the shareholding, Codelco signed a set of
agreements which formalized primarily the following issues:
+ Copper sales contract modifications from Codelco to CUPIC signed in 2006, which establishes
the reduction of half of the outstanding tonnage to deliver to this company and in which Codelco
pays to CUPIC the amount of ThUS$99,330.
+ Reduction of share capital in CuPIC, equivalent to the 50% of the Codelco International shares
in said company and by which CuPIC repays to Codelco the amount of ThUS$99,330.

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
+ Waiver of Codelco to any dividends associated with the profits generated by CUPIC from January
1, 2016 and the date of signing the agreement.
+ —Additionally, the cessation of dividends reception as a consequence of the removal of the
Codelco share in the ownership of CuPIC since 2016, led to a reduction of the net profit
estimated to Codelco until the end of the contract signed with that company (year 2021). This
implied that such contract qualifies as an onerous contract, according to IAS 37, which negatively
impacts on earnings before tax of Codelco in ThUS$22,184 (negative net tax effect of
ThUS$6,599 as of April 7, 2016).
li… Regarding the financing agreement signed on August 23, 2012, between the subsidiary, Gacrux
Inversiones SpA and Mitsui 8, Co. Ltd. for the acquisition of the 24.5% stake in Anglo American Sur
S.A. which was subsequently amended on October 31, 2012, a pledge is included over the shares
that the subsidiary has on Acrux Inversiones SpA (shared participation with Mitsui and minority
shareholder in Anglo American Sur S.A.), in order to ensure compliance with the obligations that
the financial agreement contemplates.
This pledge extends to the right to collect and receive from Acrux dividends which have been agreed
in the corresponding meetings of shareholders of the company and any other distributions paid or
payable to Gacrux respect of the pledged shares.
On December 22, 2017 according to archive No. 12326 / 2017, it was established that, Gacrux,
the Creditor and the Guarantee Agent, the latter representing the Guaranteed Parties, modified , by
virtue of the Merger (see Note 2d), the Contract of Pledge and the Modified Pledge Agreement as
to the pledge on transferable securities and the commercial pledge, as well as the restrictions and
prohibitions established in the Pledge Contract and in the Modified Pledge Contract, making it
subject to , by virtue of the Merger, to two thousand thirteen million two hundred and forty-five
thousand four hundred and seventy-three shares pledge issued by Becrux, owned by Gacrux,
hereinafter the “Pledged Becrux Shares.”
lil. Law 19.993 dated December 17, 2004, authorized the purchase of the Refinery and Smelter Las
Ventanas assets from ENAMI, establishing that the Corporation must ensure that the smelting and
refining capacity required is maintained, without any restriction and limitation, for treating the
products of the small and medium mining sector sent by ENAMI, under the form of toll production
or another form agreed upon by the parties.
iv. — Obligations with the public for bond issues means that the Corporation must meet certain restrictions
related to limits on pledges and leaseback transactions on its principal assets and on its ownership
interest in subsidiaries.
The Corporation has complied with these conditions as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
v. On January 20, 2010, the Corporation signed two energy supply contracts with Colbún S.A., which
includes energy and power sales and purchases for a total of 510 MW of power. The contract

CORPORACION NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Translation to English of the Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish — see Note 1.2)
provides a discount for that unconsumed energy Codelco’s SIC divisions with respect to the amount
of contracted power. The discount is equivalent to the value of the sale of that energy on the spot
market.
The contracted power for supplying these Divisions is comprised by two contracts:
– Contract No.1 for 176 MW, current until December 2029
– Contract No.2 for 334 MW, current until December 2044. This contract is based on energy
production from Colbún’s Santa María thermal power station, which ¡is currently in operation.
This plant is coal-fired, and therefore the electric energy tariff rate applied for the energy supplied
to Codelco is linked to the price of coal.
Both of these contracts comply with Codelco’s long-term energy and power requirements from the
SIC of approximately 510 MW.
Through these contracts, which operate through take or pay, the Corporation agrees to pay for the
contracted energy and Colbún undertakes to reimburseat market price the energy not consumed
by Codelco.
These contracts have maturity date in 2029 and 2044.
vi. On November 6, 2009, Codelco signed the following long-term electric energy supply contracts with
ELECTROANDINA S.A. (associate until January 2011), which matured in August 2017.
For the electric power supply of the Chuquicamata’s work center, there are three contracts:
Engie for a 15-year term from January 2010, that is maturing in December 2024, for 200
MW capacity, and another contract for a 200 MW capacity which was signed in January
2018 and will be effective as of January 2025 with maturity in December 2035.
CTA effective from 2012 for 80 MW capacity, maturity in 2032.
vii. On August 26, 2011, Codelco signed two energy supply contracts with AESGener. The first one for
the Minister Hales division for a 99 MW capacity and the second contract for the Radomiro Tomic
work center, for a maximum capacity of 145 MW. Both contracts will mature in 2028.
viii. On November 11, 2011, Law No. 20551 was published in the Official Journal, which regulates the
tasks and closure of mining facilities. Additionally, on November 22, 2012, the Supreme Decree No.
41 of the Minister of Mining, which approves the Regulations of this Law, was published in the Diario
Oficial.
This law requires the Corporation, among other requirements, to provide financial guarantees to the
State to ensure the implementation of closure plans. It also establishes the obligation to make
contributions to a fund which aims to cover the costs of post-closure activities.

The Corporation, in accordance with the mentioned regulation, provided to SERNAGEOMIN the
Mine Closure Plan (ARO) for all of the Codelco operating divisions in 2014, which were approved
in 2015 in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
The mine closure plans delivered to SERNAGEOMIN were developed by invoking the transitional
regime of the Act, which was specified for the affected mining companies under the general
application procedure (extraction capacity > 10,000 tons per month), and which, at the date of
enactment of the Law, will abide in operation and move forward with a mine closure plan previously
approved under Mine Safety Regulations Supreme Decree No. 132.
The Corporation considers that the accounting liability recorded caused by this obligation differs
from the law’s requirement, mainly by differences concerning the horizon that is considered for the
projection of flows, in which the law requires the determination of the obligations in terms of mineral
reserves, while the financial-accounting approach incorporates some of its mineral resources.
Therefore, the discount rate established by law, may differ from that used by the Corporation under
the criteria set out in lAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and
described in Note 2, letter p) of Main Accounting Policies.
As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation has agreed guarantees for an annual amount of U.F.

36. Subsequent events
– On January 16, 2019, it is reported as an essential fact that Mr. Patricio Chávez Inostroza ceases to
exercise his functions as Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability of the Corporation and
assuming his duties on an “acting” basis, is, José Pesce Rosenthal who will also maintain the position of
Vice President of Management of Mining Resources and Development, a role he currently exercises.
– On January 28, 2019, it is reported as an essential fact that Codelco issued bonds in New York for USD
1,300 million at 30 years, with an annual rate of 4.375%. This operation will give greater financial flexibility
for it to invest in its structural projects, the first of which, Chuquicamata Subterránea, will start operations
this year. The issue will allow the Corporation to lighten its profile of debt repayments for the period 2020 –
2025 and extend part of its financial commitments to 30 years, matching the payment dates with the years
in which, in addition to Chuquicamata Subterránea, the New Mine level, Andean Transfer and Inca Rajo
also will be in full production.
With this transaction, Codelco’s net debt is not increased and a new step is taken in a sustainable financing,
according to the guidelines given by the Board of Directors in terms of advancing the realization of structural
projects and maintaining a solid financial position.
In this way, Codelco launched in New York an offer to purchase its bonds issued in dollars with maturities
between 2020 and 2025. The offer of purchase points to two groups of bonds. The first includes those with
expiration in 2020, 2021, and 2022, and was offered for aggregate amount of up to US$1,907 million, which
corresponds to the total maturities of those papers.
These activities were led on this occasion by HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., JP Morgan Securities
LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Scotiabank.
The impact on results associated with this refinancing, reached an estimated loss after taxes of US$14
million.
– On February 1, 2019, it is reported as essential fact, the withdrawal from the Corporation of Mr. Ricardo
Montoya Peredo, General Manager of the Gabriela Mistral Division; and, on an “acting” basis, Mr. Gustavo
Cordova Alfaro, who up until this date had served as the Mine Manager of the same Division, assumes his
role.
– On February 8, 2019, itwas reported as an essential fact, according to the provisions in Circular No. 1,072,
details of the financing operation carried out on January 28, 2019.
– On February 8, 2019, it was reported as an essential fact that, on the occasion of climatic phenomenon
that affected the north of the country, Codelco has had to put on hold part of the tasks in divisions
Chuquicamata and Ministro Hales. The restoration of operations will be progressive as long as the climatic
conditions allow, while mitigation measures to minimize the effects of this paralysis are put in place.

set forth in article 226 of the Mining Code of Chile); and (ii) pursuant to the Chilean
Constitution, the mining concessions corresponding to mining deposits exploited by the Issuer
upon its creation in 1976 cannot be subject to attachment nor to any act of disposition by the
Issuer. Each such waiver is binding under Chilean law and remains in full force and effect.

designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or
manipulation of the price of the Notes.

granted by the Minister of Finance for the Issuer to enter into negotiations relating to the issue of

7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification of the Dealer Manager. The Issuer agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Dealer Manager, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and
each person, if any, who controls such Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees and
other expenses incurred by any such entity or person in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that
arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Base Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or any Issuer Written
Communication (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
information furnished to the Issuer in writing by the Dealer Manager expressly for use therein (it
being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described in Section 7(g)
hereof).
(b) Indemnification of the Issuer. The Dealer Manager agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who
controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 7(a) hereof, but only with
respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and
in conformity with any information relating to such Dealer Manager furnished to the Issuer in
writing by the Dealer Manager expressly for use in the General Disclosure Package or any Issuer
Written Communication (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (it being understood and
agreed that the only such information is that described in Section 7(g) hereof), and will
reimburse any reasonable and documented legal fees and other expenses incurred by the Issuer in
connection with defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as such fees and
expenses are incurred.
(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either Section 7(a) or
Section 7(b) hereof, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing;
provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve it from any liability
that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further,
that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve it from any liability that it may
have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall
15
be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying
Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel
related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the
expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within
a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the
Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv)
the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person will not, in connection with any proceeding
or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such
fees and expenses will be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Dealer
Manager, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Dealer Manager
will be designated in writing by the Dealer Manager, and any such separate firm for the Issuer
and any control persons of the Issuer will be designated in writing by the Issuer. The
Indemnifying Person will not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,
the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss
or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if
at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse
the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 7(c),
the Indemnifying Person will be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the
Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed
the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No
Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person
is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person,
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not
include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) and
Section 7(b) hereof is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under
such Sections, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims,
16
damages or liabilities (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Issuer on the one hand and the Dealer Manager on the other from the offering of
the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (1)
but also the relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and the Dealer Manager on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Issuer on the one hand and the Dealer Manager on the other will be deemed to be in the
same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the
Issuer from the sale of the Notes and the total discounts and commissions received by the Dealer
Manager in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering
price of the Notes. The relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and the Dealer Manager on the
other will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Issuer or by the Dealer Manager and the parties” relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(e) Limitation on Liability. The Issuer and the Dealer Manager agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in Section 7(d) hereof. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified
Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 7(d) hereof
will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable and
documented legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any
such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event will the
Dealer Manager be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
discounts and commissions received by such Dealer Manager with respect to the offering of the
Notes exceeds the amount of any damages that such Dealer Manager has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Dealer Manager”s obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not
joint.
(5 Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are
not exclusive and will not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
(2) Dealer Manager Information. For purposes of this Section 7 and this
Agreement generally, it shall be understood and agreed that the only information furnished to the
Issuer in writing by the Dealer Manager expressly for use therein consists of the statements
concerning the Dealer Manager in (i) the single sentence following the second full paragraph
regarding the purchase price, (ii) the second sentence of the sixth paragraph regarding market
making activities, (iii) the seventh paragraph related to stabilization and syndicate covering
17
transactions and (iv) the third sentence of the ninth paragraph regarding hedging activity under
the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Base Prospectus.
8. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Dealer
Manager, by notice to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or
prior to the applicable Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially
limited on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, Bolsa de Comercio de
Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange) or minimum prices shall have been established on any such
exchange by such exchange or by any regulatory body having jurisdiction over such exchange;
(ii) trading of any securities issued by any of the Issuer shall have been suspended on any

services in the United States, the European Union or Chile shall have occurred; (iv) a banking
moratorium shall have been declared in New York either by federal or New York state
authorities, in Chile by the Chilean Central Bank or other competent government regulator or
other competent government regulator; (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation
of hostilities involving the United States or Chile or any Chilean, U.S. or international calamity
or crisis that in the judgment of the Dealer Manager is so material and adverse as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the
terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the General Disclosure Package; or
(vi) there shall have been such a material adverse change in U.S., Chilean, European Union or
international monetary, general economic, political or financial conditions (including, without
limitation, with respect to currency exchange rates and exchange controls) as to make it, in the
judgment of the Dealer Manager, inadvisable to proceed with the payment for and delivery of the
Notes.
9. Defaulting Dealer Manager. Nothing contained herein will relieve a defaulting
Dealer Manager of any liability it may have to the Issuer for damages caused by its default
hereunder.
10. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Issuer will, subject to Section 10(b) hereof,
pay or cause to be paid all fees, expenses and costs incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder, including, without limitation, (1) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale,
preparation and delivery of the Notes and any stamp, transfer or similar taxes payable in
connection therewith; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and/or printing of the Base
Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package and any Issuer Written Communication (including
any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the reasonable and
documented fees and expenses of U.S. counsel to the Issuer; (iv) the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and any paying agent, registrar or transfer agent for the Notes (including the reasonable

incurred in connection with the approval of the Notes for clearance and settlement through
Euroclear and Clearstream; and (vi) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of
the Dealer Manager incurred in connection with the offering of the Notes.
18
(b) Tf (1) the Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Notes for delivery to the
Dealer Manager or (ii) the Dealer Manager declines to purchase the Notes for any reason
permitted under this Agreement (other than under Section 8(1), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) hereof or
Section 9 hereof), the Issuer”s and the Dealer Manager”s respective obligations under Section
10(a) hereof shall continue to apply. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9
hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to reimburse the Dealer Manager any travel expenses
incurred by the Dealer Manager”s representatives in connection with any road show presentation
referred to in Section 10(a)(vi) or the expenses referred to in Section 10(a(vii).
11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement will inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any

legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby may be instituted in any U.S. federal or New York state court located in

law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
proceeding, waives any right to any other jurisdiction to which it may be entitled on account of
place of residence, domicile or any other reason and irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

hereunder, to claim for itself or its revenues or assets any immunity, including sovereign
immunity, from suit, jurisdiction, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or prior to a
judgment, execution of a judgment or any other legal process with respect to its obligations
hereunder, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to the Issuer
such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and
irrevocably waives such immunity to the maximum extent permitted by law, except that (i) for
the attachment and judicial sale of mining concessions and installations and other goods
permanently dedicated to exploration or extraction of minerals relating to such mining
concessions, except with respect to mortgages, the consent of the Issuer will be required and
shall be given in the same judicial proceeding in which the attachment and sale is sought (as set
forth in article 226 of the Mining Code of Chile); and (ii) pursuant to the Chilean Constitution,
the mining concessions corresponding to mining deposits exploited by the Issuer upon its

future taxes, assessments, deductions, withholdings or charges of any nature imposed or levied
by or on behalf of Chile or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein (“Chilean
Taxes”), then the Issuer will pay to such Dealer Manager an additional amount so that the net
amount such Dealer Manager receives, after such withholding or deduction of such Chilean
Taxes, shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no such withholding or
deduction had been made; provided, however, that no such additional amounts shall be paid by
the Issuer on account of any tax imposed on such Dealer Manager by reason of any connection
between such Dealer Manager and Chile or any political subdivision thereof or therein other than
entering into this Agreement and receiving payments hereunder, or enforcement of rights under
this Agreement. If any Chilean Taxes are collected by deduction or withholding, the Issuer will

(“Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (1) the
rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the
purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in New York, New York at
which such Manager on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase U.S.
dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Manager. The
foregoing indemnity will constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and will
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The
term “spot rate of exchange” will include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in
connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, U.S. dollars.
