ZALDÍVAR AWARDED COPPER MARK
In line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and following
a voluntary evaluation process, Zaldívar has received the
international Copper Mark, an independent verification that the
company produces copper according to the highest international
sustainability standards.
"We are very pleased to have been awarded the Copper Mark, as it
recognises Zaldívar as a modern and sustainable mining operation.
We are committed to transparently implementing best practices and
constant improvement," said Julio Castillo, General Manager of
Minera Zaldívar
Zaldívar is the second of Antofagasta's operations to achieve
this recognition, following Centinela which received it in
July.
"We are proud that of our four operations two are now among the
13 mines worldwide that hold this distinguished recognition. This
is a clear demonstration of our conviction that mining for a better
future is possible, " said Iv á n Arriagada, CEO of Antofagasta
plc
The Company's other operations, Los Pelambres and Antucoya, will
shortly begin the assurance process to obtain the award.

Mark initiative in 2017 in response to growing demands for
information by investors, banks, suppliers and NGOs on the
environmental, social and governance performance of copper
producers.
Copper Mark has been independent of the ICA since December 2019
. Zaldívar is the third mining company in Chile and one of 13
worldwide that have received this award.
