LONDON (Reuters) - Chile’s state-owned miner Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer, plans to raise up to $1 billion next year to help finance the overhaul of its existing mines, Chairman Juan Benavides said on Tuesday.

Initially it will produce 275,000 tonnes of copper a year and by 2025 we expect it to produce about 350,000 tonnes,” Benavides said. Chuquicamata produced 330,900 tonnes of copper in 2017, out of Codelco’s total of 1.734 million tonnes.

About 60 percent of the $40 billion or about $24 billion is for structural projects to extend the life of mines, The other 40 percent is for projects that include improving smelter operations and renewing equipment and machinery, Codelco has the capability, experience and know-how for the development of open-pit and underground mines around the world, Benavides said, “We are exploring in Ecuador, Brazil and have stylish stormtrooper cufflinks an agreement to collaborate with Kazakhstan, Mongolia is something we looked at, but we’re not advancing that.”..
