Factors endowments for

copper production
Chile has the larger world reserves of copper, distributed
along the Andes mountain range, from Arica to Temuco.
-> 28% of the world's reserves.
The fine and rich clay texture of the Chilean grounds is
what provokes the richness of copper in the country. ->
The Chilean ground reaction is less than a ph of 6.
El teniente is the world's largest underground copper mine.
