The first-phase investment in the project involves US$550 million, according to an agreement signed by the two companies.

 

Codelco will provide, through the joint venture, 836,250 tons of copper to China Minmetals Non-ferrous Metals Co., Ltd., which is controlled by China Minmetals, over the next 15 years.
