Codelco
Codelco, the National Copper Corporation of Chile, is the state-owned company created in 1976 to manage the large copper mines nationalised in 1971, including Chuquicamata and El Teniente. It is the world's largest copper producer. A share of its export earnings long went directly to the armed forces under a law dating from 1958, which was repealed in 2019.
