At Fitch Solutions, we have revised down our 2023 copper production growth forecast for Chile from 3.4% yoy to 2.8% yoy. In 2023, we expect to see slower copper production growth in Chile, the world's largest copper producer, due to declining ore grades and droughts. To avoid long term growth contractions, leading copper miners will

lower grade copper ore in China than in Europe, (2) prevalence of a Chinese electricity mix of an almost 100 per cent fossil fuel footprint, and (3) a relatively low share of secondary copper in the entire copper mix. Mining can be improved by focusing on higher grade material, environmental abatement techniques
Copper ore is extracted from the mine and a first size reduction stage is used to transport the ore for further processing. Pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes are used to treat copper ores. As Fig. 2 shows, in the pyrometallurgy process, coppersulfide ores are ground to liberate Cuminerals. After that, it is concentrated by
