expansion to the pipe network which feeds essential water to the mine. Phase II of the expansion project, which is scheduled to begin in 2018, aims to increase Andina&#8217;s throughput capacity from the current 94,000 to 244,000 tonnes per day through the construction of a new concentrator which has the capacity to process 150,000 tonnes per day of ore. The project is expected to add 350,000 tonnes per year of fine copper to the division&#8217;s production. Coldeco (Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile or, in English, the National Copper Corporation of Chile) is the Chilean state owned copper mining company.</p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\"
