NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum contains forward-looking statements. We may from time to time make
forward-looking statements in our annual report, in prospectuses, press releases and other written materials and in
oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees to analysts, institutional investors, representatives of
the media and others. Examples of these forward-looking statements include:
projections of revenues, net income (loss), capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other
financial items or ratios;
statements of our plans, objectives or goals, including those relating to anticipated trends, competition,
regulation and rates;
statements about our future economic performance or that of Chile or other countries in which we have
investments; and
statements of assumptions underlying these statements.
Words such as "believe," "could," "may," "will," "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "intend," "target,"
"estimate," "project," "potential," "predict," "forecast," "guideline," "should" and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of
important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates
and intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements. These factors, some of which are discussed under
"Risk Factors," include economic and political conditions and government policies in Chile or elsewhere, inflation
rates, exchange rates, regulatory developments and changes in Chilean law, customer demand, competition,
unanticipated mining and production problems, commodity prices, relations with employees and contractors,
variances in ore grade, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters. We caution you that the foregoing list of
factors is not exclusive and that other risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those
in forward-looking statements.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which reflect our views
only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update them or publicly to release the
result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements in light of new information or future developments after
the date of this offering memorandum.

iv





ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
CODELCO is a state-owned enterprise organized under the laws of Chile. All of its directors and
executive officers and certain experts named in this offering memorandum reside outside the United States
(principally in Chile) and all or a substantial portion of the assets of CODELCO and of such persons are located
outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the
United States on, or bring actions or enforce foreign judgments against, CODELCO or such persons in U.S. courts.
In addition, CODELCO has been advised by its Chilean counsel, Carey y Cía. Ltda., that no treaty exists between
the United States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. There is also doubt as to the
enforceability in Chilean courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Chilean courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered in the
United States by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, subject to the review in Chile of the U.S.
judgment in order to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected,
without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case. Lastly, CODELCO has been advised by Carey y Cía.
Ltda. that there is doubt as to the enforceability in original actions in Chilean courts of liabilities predicated solely
upon U.S. federal securities laws.
The notes, the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement will provide that
CODELCO will appoint the Chilean consul in New York City as its agent upon whom process may be served in any
action arising out of or based upon, respectively, the notes, the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement, the Purchase
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, which may be instituted in any federal or state court having
"subject matter" jurisdiction. See "Description of Notes."
Pursuant to the Chilean Mining Code, mining concessions as well as certain raw materials and other
property or assets permanently dedicated to the exploration or extraction of minerals cannot be subject to an order of
attachment, except with respect to mortgages, in the case that the debtor consents to the attachment in the same
enforcement proceeding or when the debtor is a stock corporation. In addition, pursuant to the Chilean Constitution,
mining concessions corresponding to mining deposits exploited by CODELCO upon its creation in 1976 cannot be
subject to attachment nor to any act of disposition by CODELCO. As a result, the rights of holders to attach
property of CODELCO in the event of a default under the notes would be limited by such provisions. See
"Regulatory Framework--Mining Regulations."

v





PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL INFORMATION
In this offering memorandum, references to "U.S.$," "$," "U.S. dollars" and "dollars" are to United States
dollars, references to "cents" are to United States cents (U.S.$0.01), references to "pesos" or "Ch$" are to Chilean
pesos and references to "UF" are to "Unidades de Fomento." The UF is an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit
which is linked to, and which is adjusted daily to reflect changes in, the Chilean consumer price index during the
preceding 30 days.
Pursuant to Oficio Circular 368 of October 2006, as amended, of the Superintendencia de Valores y
Seguros ("SVS"), or the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, beginning in 2010, all companies
with publicly traded securities in Chile are required to prepare and report consolidated financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB). As of January 1, 2010, CODELCO no longer prepares financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile ("Chilean GAAP"). CODELCO's first results reported under
IFRS were the unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.
Financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 have been reconstructed according to IFRS in order to
make them comparable to our 2010, 2011 and 2012 financial statements.
The audited consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012,
the opening consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2010 and the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 included herein (the "Year-
end Consolidated Financial Statements"), are presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 are referred to as the "2011-2012
Year-end Consolidated Financial Statements."
The unaudited interim consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2013 and the unaudited
consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 (the "Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements") included in this
offering memorandum are presented in accordance with IFRS. The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Year-end Consolidated Financial Statements are referred to together as the "Consolidated
Financial Statements."
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Year-end Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended December 31, 2012, except for the adoption of certain new standards and interpretations effective
from January 1, 2013, which required retroactive restatement of certain figures for the three months ended March
31, 2012. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--New
Accounting Standards" for the details of the restatement and Section II.3 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements. Therefore, the amounts reported at and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are
presented based on the new accounting standards and are not fully comparable to amounts presented in our Year-end
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information
concerning CODELCO included herein are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with Decree Law 1.350 of 1976,
as amended by Law 20.392 published in the Official Gazette on November 14, 2009, and for periods after
January, 1, 2009, in accordance with IFRS. Decree Law 1.350 is the Chilean law pursuant to which CODELCO was
created and which provides for its governance.
Because the notes offered hereby have not been and will not be registered with the SEC, the Consolidated
Financial Statements do not and are not required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act,
and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, which would apply if the notes offered hereby were being
registered with the SEC.
The U.S. dollar is the currency used in the primary economic environment in which CODELCO operates.
Nevertheless, as an international company operating primarily in Chile as well as in several other Latin American
countries, a portion of CODELCO's business is transacted in Chilean pesos and other non-dollar currencies.

vi





Adjusted EBITDA data is included in this offering memorandum because such data is used by certain
investors to measure a company's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures, and it is included herein for
convenience only. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding finance income (expense), net, income tax expense,
depreciation and amortization plus export taxes to net income, in each case determined in accordance with IFRS as
issued by the IASB. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted indicator of funds available to
service debt, although it is not an IFRS-based measure of liquidity or performance. The Company believes that
Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
net income as an indicator of operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Additionally, the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different than the calculation used by other
companies and therefore, comparability may be affected.
Under IFRS, gross profit is calculated before provision for the 10% special export tax payable by
CODELCO under Law 13.196, as well as a mining tax at progressive rates of between 5% and 14% that became
effective in January 2006 pursuant to a modification of Chilean Income Tax Law 824 (Decreto Ley 824). See also
"Risk Factors--Risks Relating to CODELCO's Relationship with the Chilean Government--CODELCO is subject
to special taxes and distributions" for information related to the mining tax rate effective in 2012.
Certain figures included in this offering memorandum and in the Consolidated Financial Statements have
been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this offering memorandum have in some cases
been calculated on the basis of such figures prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this
offering memorandum may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain other amounts that appear in this offering memorandum may not sum
due to rounding.
The Observed Exchange Rate (as defined herein under "Exchange Rates") reported by the Central Bank of
Chile as of December 28, 2012 was Ch$478.60 = U.S.$1.00, as of March 28, 2013 was Ch$472.54 = U.S.$1.00 and
as of August 5, 2013 was Ch$513.63= U.S.$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon
buying rate for Chilean pesos. See "Exchange Rates."
All tonnage information in this offering memorandum is expressed in metric tons and all references to
ounces are to troy ounces, in each case, unless otherwise specified. Tonnage information in this offering
memorandum does not include CODELCO's share of the El Abra deposit, which is mined by Sociedad Contractual
Minera El Abra, owned 49% by CODELCO and 51% by Cyprus El Abra Corporation (a subsidiary of Freeport
McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. ("Freeport McMoRan")) or CODELCO's indirect 20% share of Anglo American
Sur S.A. ("Anglo American Sur"), unless otherwise specified. See "Business and Properties--Associations, Joint
Ventures and Partnerships--SCM El Abra" and "Business and Properties--Associations, Joint Ventures and
Partnerships--Anglo American Sur" for a description of these joint ventures. Certain terms relating to the copper
mining business are defined in "Glossary of Certain Mining Terms."
Market information regarding CODELCO's share of copper production, reserves and relative cost position
has been derived by CODELCO from third-party sources, including reports of Brook Hunt & Associates, and from
CODELCO's own industry research. Brook Hunt & Associates publishes periodic reports containing global copper
production data and cost analysis by mine site. While CODELCO believes that its estimates are reliable, such
estimates have not been confirmed by independent sources. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect
the value of CODELCO's mining concessions or its resources and reserves.
As used in this offering memorandum, "cash cost" is calculated in accordance with the methodology
specified by Brook Hunt & Associates for determination of C1 cost (cash cost) and includes all direct cash costs of
mining, including costs associated with extraction, leaching, smelting and further processing of copper ores into
refined metal, as well as labor, transportation and physical plant costs associated with those processes, net of income
from sales of by-products. Cash cost figures are given as nominal dollar amounts, usually expressed as cents per
pound, and exclude provisions, amortization, depreciation and central office costs. Cash cost is presented because it
is a widely used measure of costs, although it is not an IFRS or U.S. GAAP-based measure of cost. The Company
believes that cash cost, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for costs of sales, costs of selling and administrative expenses, or as an indicator of costs.

vii





As used in this offering memorandum, "Chuquicamata," "Radomiro Tomic," "Gabriela Mistral," "El
Teniente," "Andina," "Salvador", "Mina Ministro Hales" and "Ventanas" refer to the divisions of CODELCO, not
the mines having those names, unless otherwise required by context.
As used in this offering memorandum, the term "billion" means one thousand million (1,000,000,000).
