JOINT STUDY GROUPS’ SEMINAR 7th October 2015

Naoki Kasuya Deputy General Manager, JOGMEC London Office

History of in Japan 2

More than 1,300 years ago (a.c. 698), the first mine opened in Japan. Japan had the world largest mine called “Iwami”, produced 1/3 of world silver in the 17 century.

Japan has accumulated good technology, expertise and legislative scheme (i.e. regulations on mine pollution prevention).

Japanese Dependence on Metals Imports from Latin America 4

Japan heavily depends on mineral resources imports. From Latin America, Japan imports substantial amount of Lithium, Copper, Zinc and Lead. Particularly, Chile is the origin of 86% of Lithium carbonate and 50% of copper concentrates used in Japan.

Japanese Investments in Chilean Mining Sector 5

Japan has started investing into Chilean mining sector since 1980’s. The value of Japan’s investment increased recently, mainly because Caserones and Sierra Gorda came on stream. Japan was the biggest investor in Chile in the decade of 2003‐2012. Japan boosted Chilean economic growth and job creation through our investment. Achieves ‘Win‐Win’ bilateral relationship between Chile and Japan

Case 1: Copper mining projects in Chile 9

2014 became a memorial year for Japan because both Caserones and Sierra Gorda have started operation. Caserones is jointly owned by Pan Pacific Copper and Mitsui while Sierra Gorda is owned by Sumitomo Metal Mining, Sumitomo and KGHM. The total amount of copper production from the both projects is equivalent to over 20% of the Japanese annual copper imports. JOGMEC has provided a loan for Caserones since Japanese company acquired the mining concession in 2006. We also provide debt guarantees for both projects as part of their financial arrangements. Both projects are successfully on track by gathering the strength of all the stakeholders including project teams in Chile, Japanese companies and governmental organizations such as JOGMEC .

Summary 11

1. As one of the biggest users of mineral resources in the world, Japan imports huge amount of mineral resources from Latin America.

2. In return, Japan has been investing a lot in Chile and the other Latin American Countries. JOGMEC also provides technical support on mine pollution prevention measures in Peru.

3. Latin America and Japan enjoy win‐win relationship through the corporation in the mining sector. The stronger cooperation between Latin America and Japan would contribute to the stable supply of mineral resources to the world.
