The mining companies were the world’s leading 30, 62). copper-producing company Corporación Nacional del Cobre In 2002, total exports were valued at $22.3 billion. Of this (CODELCO), Corporación de Fomento de la Producción total value, $7.6 billion (34.2%) was from copper, although this (CORFO), and Empresa Nacional de Minería (ENAMI). The value of copper exports was a decrease of 7.1% compared with subsidiaries of CORFO included Cía.

    UNIVERSITY OF CHILE, SANTIAGO DE CHILE SOCIETY OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGISTS STUDENT CHAPTER Field Trip 2016 – 2017 Santiago de Chile, September 2017 CLARIFICATION NOTE University of Chile, Santiago de Chile SEG Student Chapter clarifies that the initial field application submitted as financial assistance of Steward R. Wallace Fund, Round II, 2015 is different from what is described in this report. The original plan included visits to Minera Los Pelambres (MLP, AMSA), Minera El Soldado (MES, Angloamerican) and División Andina (DA, Codelco). However, it was impossible to get approval for visiting División Andina of Codelco (they request that all the visitors could pass a physical exam to work over 3,000 m above sea level, which costs more than US$100 per person). In addition, the visit to Minera El Soldado was scheduled for November 30, 2016. However, due to contractor workers strike and disturbs in Los Bronces operation during the second half of November, Angloamerican suspended all the visits to their operations in Chile. Therefore, we made relevant changes to the original plan, due to the shortcomings that arose and restructured our visits. We decided to visit the Cerro Negro stratabound Cu deposit, Los Pelambres and El Teniente porphyry Cu-Mo deposits. 1. INTRODUCTION The University of Chile, Santiago de Chile SEG Student Chapter is hosted in the Department of Geology of University of Chile. Activities of the student chapter involve field trips, talks and conferences with the aim of learning about the economic geology, for example, conditions for the formation of mineral deposit, tectonic environments, mineralization characteristics and metallurgical processes.
