<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.
