Mine Production

Production at Escondida, the world’s largest copper mine,will drop as much as 10 percent in the 12 months
ending in June because of lower grades, Melbourne-based BHP Billiton, the largest shareholder, said in a
statement Aug. 25.

The major copper reserves that are being produced today come from 100 year-old mines, with few
exceptions,which is indicating that possibility of reduction of production is high.
