Background: a story of sustained growth

11

1914 William Braden first explored in the area of the Los Pelambres deposit

1969 – 71 ENAMI carries out exploration to define the deposit’s potential

1978 Anaconda Minerals buys the Los Pelambres deposit rights that had been tendered by ENAMI

1985 Antofagasta Holdings buys Anaconda Chile and its right over the Los Pelambres deposit

1992 Minera El Chacay starts its small – scale underground operations (5 ktpd)

1997 EIA approved and construction starts. Japanese partners take 40% interest. Bank financing obtained

1999 Successful Ramp – up completed in 84 days with a capacity of 85 ktpd

2004 – 09 Several expansion projects take the processing capacity to 175 ktpd

2016 + Desalination plant and water pipeline EIA submission (enabling LT expansions)

Sustainability

Page 26: MLP Site Visit Presentation

Strong commitment to renewable energy

Renewable energies:

• Antofagasta has made important efforts to include clean energy directly in its operations

• From its beginning, MLP takes advantage from its conveyor belts to generate energy, contributingwith 9% of the Company’s total energy consumption

• Benefitting from Javiera photovoltaic plant energy supply, during the second half of 2015, MLPachieved a new advance to integrate sources of renewable energies. This energy contributes withabout 15% of the energy requirements of MLP

• El Arrayán wind farm, the largest wind farm of its type built in Chile, was inaugurated in August2014 and it supplies approximately 20% of MLP’s energy demand
