As state-owned, mining giant Corporacion Nacional del Cobre de Chile (Codelco) goes, so goes its home country. The world's largest producer of copper, Codelco's operations account for 18% of all Chilean exports and more than 3% of the country's gross domestic product. The company also controls 20% of the world's known copper reserves. Codelco's mines, including its latest start-up Radomiro Tomic, yield nearly 1.8 million metric tons of copper per year. Codelco has mining partnerships with US mining companies Phelps Dodge and Homestake Mining, and has a research facility, IM2, in Santiago, Chile.
