From 2017 , the Antofagasta copper mine will become the country's first to be powered by 100% certified renewable energy.

The Chile mine, a joint venture between operator Chilean Zalvídar and Barrick Gold , produced 103,000 tonnes of copper cathodes in July 2020 , and the agreement will see the site's greenhouse gases reduced by an annual equivalent of 350,000 tonnes .
