Name(s) in local language(s):
Mina los Bronces, Provincia de Santiago, RegiΓ³n Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile


A copper and molybdenum mine started in 1970.
The open pit is 5,000 meters long, 300 meters wide & 100 meters deep. Produced 10,000 tons of ore/day.
In 2016 the mine produced 307 tons of copper.

The mine straddles the border of Valparaiso Region and Santiago Metropolitan Region.

Chile's state minerals company Enami held an option to acquire a 49% stake in Disputada de las Condes copper when the mine was sold to Anglo American.
