Chilean copper production up 0.4% in January, Cochilco says

Chile recorded a 0.4% year-on-year increase in copper production during January, as higher output from Escondida and Collahuasi offset declines from Codelco, Anglo American Sur and BHP's Spence, according to copper commission Cochilco.

The country produced 459,100 tonnes of copper content in the first month of 2020, compared with 457,100 tonnes a year earlier, the commission said on Tuesday March 10.
Despite being up on an annual basis, this was the lowest figure recorded since 458,600 tonnes in April 2019.
Chilean copper exports were 567,100 tonnes in January, falling by 5% year-on-year from 597,000 tonnes.
