Codelco Expects Slightly Higher Copper Production
Codelco, the Chilean state-owned miner, says it expects to produce 1.344 million metric tons of copper in 2026, slightly above 1.333 million tons in 2025 and within a guidance range of 1.331–1.357 million tons. CEO Ruben Alvarado and Executive Chairman Máximo Pacheco cited efforts to recover from a 25-year low, project delays, a mine collapse and about a 5% cost impact from Middle East disruptions.
