Antofagasta aims to continue investing in Chile at its Centineta and Los Pelam bres operations while still looking at international expansion, CEO Ivan Ar-riagada told Mining Journal. In Chile, the company is completing a cycle of investment with the Los Pelambres seawater plant and additional milling capacity 70% complete. It has also recently finished a project at Zaldivar to increase recoveries. Its next big investment decision will be whether to develop a second concentrator at Centinela, once it has a greater line of sight on changes to the fiscal regime and the process to draft a new constitution.
