Escondida targets growth through concentrator expansion
Escondida, the world's largest copper mine, is targeting a copper production increase from about 940,000 metric tons (mt) in 2016 to 1.2 million mt/y for 10 years following completion of a newly approved, $200 million expansion of its Los Cobrados concentrator (one of three concentrators on the property). Escondida is located in northern Chile and is owned 57.5% by BHP Billiton, 30% by Rio Tinto, and 12.5% by two consortiums of Japanese companies. BHP Billiton is the operator. Completion of the concentrator expansion will coincide with completion of the largest seawater desalination plant in the Southern Hemisphere to supply water to Escondida operations.
