The "Chile Copper Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage on Chile's copper industry. It provides historical and forecast data on Chile's copper production, production by company, reserves by country, world copper prices, doemstic consumption and copper trade. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the Chile's copper industry. It further profiles major copper producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by state.

Chile’s copper output is projected to recover in 2026 by 1.0% to reach 5,469.9 kt. This marginal growth will be primarily driven by improved ore grades and operational stability at Los Pelambres, the continued ramp-up of the new Salvador concentrator, and targeted higher grades at Antucoya-overcoming scheduled maintenance closures in Q1 and Q3.

These gains will be partially offset by lower grades and the anticipated impact of a month-long labor strike at Escondida. Performance will also be constrained by ore complexity at Spence, declining grades at Centinela, and the lingering operational impacts of the July 2025 fatal incident at El Teniente.
