Safety(P): total global accident frequency and severity rates deceased by 30% and 39%, reaching 0.93* and 140**, respectively. No fatal accident.

Copper Own Mine Production: increased by 3.6% in 2015 to 1,732 thousand tons, compared to 2014, especially due to the new production coming from Mina Ministro Hales. Total production achieved a historical record of 1,891 thousand tons. Cost Reduction(P): C1 decreased 7.8% to 138.6 c/lb in 2015 compared to 2014, attributable to lower input prices and the intensification of the control cost program. Financial Performance(P): Adjusted Mining EBITDA Margin reached 41%, despite the 20% drop in the average price in 2015 compared to 2014. (S&P A+, Moody’s A1) Financing Program: In addition to the US$2 billion bond issuance in September, Codelco received US$600 million capital injection plus an approval to retain earnings for US$225 million, securing the financing for 2016. Investment Program: During 2015 Codelco reduced its capex program by US$1 billion, without affecting the execution plan for the key projects under construction.

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this presentation, including, without limitation, those regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to the Company’s products and services) are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

As is standard in the industry, CODELCO divides its mineral holdings into two categories, reserves and resources. Resources are ore bodies of economic value that have been identified and evaluated through exploration, reconnaissance and sampling. Reserves are the portion of the resource that can be extracted based on an economic, environmental and technological analysis set forth in the mining plan. Reserves and resources are both subdivided further, based on the degree of knowledge that CODELCO has of their extent and composition. The system used by CODELCO for categorizing mineral ore is widely used within the mining industry (and codified in such international regulations as the Joint One Reserves Committee (JORC) code of Australia, the South African Mineral Resources Committee (SAMREC), and the Reporting Code of Great Britain). Other systems of categorization are also used; one such system is that used by the U.S. Geological Survey. This presentation may not be taken away with you.
