Codelco eyes Saudi partnership to boost global copper production

Codelco, Chile’s state-owned copper behemoth and the world’s largest copper producer, is preparing for enormous expansion by considering joint ventures with partners such as Saudi Arabia.

In a recent interview with Reuters, Chairman Maximo Pacheco stated that the business plans to increase copper production to around 1.4 million metric tons by 2025. This projection indicates an increase of around 70,000 tons over current output levels.

Pacheco highlighted his excitement about the upcoming growth and stated that Codelco is beginning to implement the strategic initiatives necessary to increase production capacity and efficiency.

He said that they are committed to preserving and improving their production to meet global demand.

The chairman stated that improving efficiency and output is critical for Codelco and the entire mining industry, especially given the global shift toward renewable energy and electric transportation.

Codelco-Saudi Arabia talks

The talks are based on Riyadh’s ambition to position itself as a leader in the area of essential minerals, specifically copper and lithium, which are required for the thriving battery production and electric vehicle industries.

Pacheco stated, “There is a clear need on both sides to add value,” emphasizing the potential reciprocal benefits for all parties involved.

He met with the Saudi minister of mining and representatives from Manara Minerals, a joint venture between the Saudi Arabian Mining Company and the kingdom’s Public Investment Fund valued at $925 billion.

According to Pacheco, these agreements include not only financial investments but also the transfer of technologies and the modernization of mining operations.

Saudi Arabia is diversifying its economy

Saudi Arabia, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is diversifying its economy to reduce reliance on oil money.

The kingdom’s policy to focus on essential minerals considers the prospects for economic transformation as well as the path to innovation and sustainability in industries such as renewable energy and electric car production.

Pacheco emphasized that Saudi Arabia is fully prepared to invest in the mining sector to drive overall economic growth.

He cited the kingdom’s expertise in technological advancements—particularly in desalination and resource management—as a major area for collaboration.

The employment of cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence in mining processes is a promising field of research for the two countries.

Global market for copper

The global market for copper and other minerals is rapidly changing due to the pressing needs of climate change and energy resource reorganization.

Pacheco emphasized the urgent need for these negotiations, noting, “The markets move very quickly. So we have to do the same.”

The move to new energy sources is thus driving the energy transformation, allowing Codelco’s potential partners to step in and maintain a steady supply of copper to global markets.

Codelco’s suspected links are being scrutinized, and mining and energy analysts are keeping a close eye on any developments in the coming months.

The findings are expected to have an impact not only on Codelco’s future but also on the broader picture of worldwide collaboration in sustainable resource management.
