Antofagasta

Antofagasta is a Chile-based copper mining group with interests in transport. The company was founded in 1888 in London, originally as the Antofagasta (Chile) and Bolivia Railway Company Limited, and today conducts copper mining operations in Chile, producing copper and its by-products across the mining lifecycle. Its transport division traces its origins to railway operations between Antofagasta and Bolivia.

The group describes its purpose as developing mining for a better future in an innovative, sustainable and inclusive manner. Its strategy rests on five pillars: people, safety and sustainability, competitiveness, growth and innovation. The stated vision is to be an international mining company recognised for operating efficiency, sustainable value creation and high profitability, and to be a preferred partner in the global mining industry.

Antofagasta states a commitment to maximising economic value for shareholders sustainably over time, alongside an emphasis on sustainability and inclusivity. Its operations are concentrated in Chile, with the transport business maintaining historical links to Bolivia.
