eEstimated; estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.  rRevised.
1Table includes data available through November 2004.
2In addition to the commodities listed, pyrite is also produced, but available information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels.
3Figures are the nonduplicate copper content of concentrates, blister and refined copper, measured at the last stage of commercial production, as reported by
Comisión Chilena del Cobre.  Mine production reported by Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería for the same years was only slightly higher
(0.01% to 0.95% higher).
4Source:  Instituto Latinoamericano del Fierro y el Acero.
5Reported figure.
6Rhenium output based on information from Comisión Chilena del Cobre and includes rhenium content from Molymex S.A. de C.V. (Mexico) processed at
Molibdenos y Metales S.A. (Chile).
7n.e.s, not elsewhere specified.
8Includes production of natural sodium sulfate and anhydrous sodium sulfate, coproducts of the nitrate industry (salitre).
9Includes production from both imported and domestic petroleum, as reported by Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería.
