Chile

Chile is known to have low copper production cost. Since the 1970’s there has been a decrease in lead, iron and petroleum industries which has caused an increase in the export of iodine, lithium, molybdenum, sodium, potassium, nitrate and non-metallic minerals.

In 2010 Chile was ranked 1st in Investment Opportunities by the Mining Journal.

Commodities: Copper, gold and silver.
