Chile's copper production totaled 377,000 metric tons in January, down 1.5 percent from the same month a year ago, the National Institute of Statistics (INE) said. Production decreased in January because some of the country's copper mines, particularly Dona Ines de Collahuasi, Los Pelambres, Disputada de Las Condes,Quebrada Blanca, and Escondida saw production fall during the month, INE said. Those operations account for 40 percent of national copper output. The authority didn't explain why production at the mines decreased. BHP Billton announced in early November plans to temporarily trim output at Escondida, the country's largest copper mine, by 80,000 tons a year. Escondida's output was already declining due to falling ore grades at the mine. INE said Chile's total copper production consisted of 163,566 metric tons of copper concentrates and 208,340 metric tons of electrolytes in January. INE didn't provide comparative details on either concentrate or electrolyte production, or information on the other 5,094 metric tons of output in.
