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. |
