<strong>Antofagasta</strong> plc <strong>Sustainability</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 2011<br />
<strong>Antofagasta</strong> plc in Chile and Bolivia<br />
Our existing operations are focused in Chile.<br />
2011 saw the ramp-up of operations at Esperanza, a<br />
record year of production at Los Pelambres, the start<br />
of production from the Mirador deposit at El Tesoro,<br />
and an extension of Michilla’s mine life.<br />
We expect to continue making considerable progress<br />
with our growth projects in 2012 – with the start<br />
of construction of the Antucoya project, continuing<br />
with work on the feasibility study in respect of<br />
the Telégrafo and Caracoles projects and the prefeasibility<br />
studies in respect of Los Pelambres<br />
and Twin Metals, as well as advancing with our<br />
substantial exploration programme.<br />
The success of our existing assets and our growth<br />
projects is underpinned by our commitment to<br />
operating and growing in a sustainable manner.
