What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government of Chile has requested that Codelco call an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting due to allegations of false copper output. The Finance and Mining ministries sent the formal letter, which reported on October 13. Codelco claims that the same copper may have been booked twice by its Ministro Hales and Salvador divisions during 2024 and 2025. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for the first week of November.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The demand for a meeting is prompted by concerns over the company's financial reporting, following a previous admission in May that Codelco had booked 27,000 tonnes of copper in 2025 that had not been produced. These cases raise doubts for copper buyers and US investors regarding figures from a company that helps set world copper supply.
