"The next stage of our growth story has begun. In Q1 2024, we started the construction of the Centinela Second Concentrator Project, which will add a further 170,000 t/y of copper-equivalent production."
"We recently completed a 10-year mine plan that contained over 5,000 excavations, with several production schedule alternatives for economic evaluation. These detailed plans and flexibility were unimaginable thirty years agos."
"We expect progressively stronger copper production from Quebrada Blanca in each quarter throughout the rest of the year as we ramp up to full capacity by year-end."
"2023 was a very good year for Glencore's operations in Chile. It was a year of great milestones, considering some of the events that took place at our sites."
"On average, we are showing 86,000 short t/y of cathode production, which is 172 million lb/y of copper, totaling 5.3 billion pounds of copper over the 31-year LOM."
