OPERATION: PRODUCTION, REVENUES, COST & ADJUSTED EBITDA

Consolidated Production. In 2023, consolidated copper output, including CODELCO’s stake in El Abra and
Anglo American Sur, decreased by 8.4% to 1,424 ktons compared to 1,553 ktons in 2022. The main reasons
for this drop are due to temporary operational difficulties during the first half of 2023 and the quality of
the ore supplied to the plants, which has impacted production since mid-2022. Of this reduction, 73% (-88
ktmf) was due to operational aspects and 27% (-33 ktmf) was caused by the impact of structural projects.
A more detailed analysis is provided below:
El Teniente Division (-54 ktmf), was affected by the Sewell plant shutdown (due to a fatal accident), a major
maintenance at the Colón plant, an unusual weather event in June, and a seismic event during the last
week of July.
The decline at the Ministro Hales Division (-26 ktmf) is explained by lower ore grades supplied to the
concentrator, mainly during the first half of the year. As a result of the 2021 landslide, we were forced to
change the mining sequence, feeding the concentrator with lower grade ores that was originally scheduled
for the end of the mining plan.
The decrease in sulfides processed at the Chuquicamata concentrator (-11 ktmf) is explained by depleting
mineral resources from the open-pit mine (-85 ktmf), but it has been offset by higher grade ores from the
underground mine (+46 ktmf).
The lower production at the Andina Division (-13 ktmf) is mainly due to lower treatment caused by a ball
mill motor failure, and operational discontinuities during the first half of the year. Additionally, this Division
was affected by a severe weather event at the end of June, preventively stopping operations to avoid
environmental incidents in the event that the tailings channel were damaged.
The reduction at the Gabriela Mistral Division (-3.7 ktmf) is mainly due to lower copper ore grades
compared to 2022, a difference that occurred mainly in the first six months.
Regarding the impact of structural projects in 2023 (-33 ktmf), key events are the lower production in
Salvador Division (-24 ktmf), due to the delay in the start-up of the Rajo Inca Project, and the slower
progress of the Chuquicamata Underground project (-9 Ktmf), which has hampered the access to better
grade ores (0.91% in 2023 vs. 0.97% in 2022).
Notwithstanding the above, own-production trends showed signs of recovery during the fourth quarter,
reaching 360 ktons between October and December 2023, 8.1% and 17.6% higher than in the third quarter
and the second quarter, respectively. It is important to highlight the improvements and advances in terms
of plant activity and material movement in the mines, which lay the foundations for a production recovery
once the quality of the mineral ore improves:

- 52% increase in the mineral extraction rate from the Chuquicamata underground mine (50 ktpd in
December 2023 versus 33 ktpd in December 2022).
- Greater sulfide extraction capacity from Radomiro Tomic (45%) treated at the Chuquicamata
concentrator, compensating for the depletion of the pit and slower growth rate of the
underground mine.

CODELCO OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESULTS DECEMBER 2023 5


FULL YEAR RESULTS 2023

- Use of minerals from Radomiro Tomic (2,085 ktms) to improve the metallurgical response of the
Ministro Hales concentrator.
- 5% increase in stacking at the Gabriela Mistral Division (111 ktpd versus 105 ktpd), reaching a
historical stacking record in May 2023 (135 ktpd) and managing to register 1,000 million tons
transported in autonomous trucks in the same month.
- Ministro Hales Division increased the concentrator throughput rate by 10%, reaching 59 ktpd in
December 2023 versus the same period in 2022, as a result of stabilizing the tailings treatment
process.

Molybdenum production was down 19.0% to 16.3 ktons in 2023, compared to 20.1 ktons in 2022. This
decline in molybdenum production was primarily attributed to lower production at Chuquicamata.

4. CODELCO’s figures for El Abra include 49% of the mine’s total production (CODELCO’s share of production, i.e., 49% ownership interest in the
mine).
5. CODELCO’s figures presented for Anglo American Sur include 20% of the mine’s total production (CODELCO’s share of production, i.e., 20%
ownership interest in the mine).

Revenues. Amounted to US$ 16.4 billion in 2023, a 3.7% decrease from the reported US$ 17.0 billion in
2022. This decrease in revenues was primarily influenced by a lower copper sales volume, partially offset
by higher average prices.

Consolidated Costs. Direct C1 cash cost was 203.1 cents per pound in 2023, compared to 165.4 cents per
pound in 2022. This increase in cash cost was primarily attributed to lower production, increased use of
inventory, higher costs of maintenance services and higher operational costs in local currency due to the
appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar (in 2023, the average exchange rate was CLP 839
per U.S. dollar compared to CLP 872 per U.S. dollar in 2022). Nevertheless, higher molybdenum prices and
lower energy, diesel and acid prices partially offset this increased cost.

CASH FLOWS

In 2023, net cash flows from operating activities totaled US$ 623.5 million, down 71.7% compared to
2022. Higher other cash receipts from operating activities, payments to and on behalf of employees, and
supplier payments for goods and services were the main drivers behind the decrease in operating cash
flows, partially offset by lower taxes and non-dividend payment.

CASH AND DEBT

In December 31, 2023, net financial debt increased to US$ 19.3 billion, showing a 17.8% rise compared to
net financial debt of US$ 16.3 billion recorded on December 31, 2022. This increase can be attributed to
the issuance of two bonds on January 23, 2024, totaling US$2 billion (the first bond was a US$1.5 billion
note due in 2036 with a coupon rate of 6.44% and a yield of T+230, while the second bond was a US$500
million reopening of the note due in 2053 with a coupon rate of 6.30% and a yield of T+235).

Additionally, on September 2023, CODELCO also issued US$ 2,000 million in two tranches, the first bond
was a US$1.3 billion note due in 2034 with a coupon rate of 5.95% and a yield of T+170. The second bond
was a US$700 million note due in 2053 with a coupon rate of 6.30% and a yield of T+195.

As an Industry Standard, CODELCO divides its mineral holdings into two categories, reserves and resources.
Resources are ore bodies of economic value that have been identified and evaluated through exploration,
reconnaissance, and sampling. Reserves are the portion of the resources that can be extracted based on
an economic, environmental, and technological analysis set forth in the mining plan, Reserves and
resources are both subdivided further, based on the degree of knowledge that CODELCO has of their
extent and composition. The system used by CODELCO for categorizing mineral ores is according to the
Chilean law (N° 20,235), which is in accordance with other systems widely used within the mining industry.
The “Comisión Calificadora de Competencias en Recursos y Reservas Mineras” is the independent Chilean
entity that regulates this, and it is part of the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting
Standards (CRISCO).
