Chile’s industrial identity begins underground —
with copper.
Home to the world’s largest reserves,
Chile has long been the top global exporter of copper,
earning it the nickname “the salary of Chile.”
Mining shaped cities like Antofagasta and Calama,
built railways, and fueled foreign investment.
But dependence on minerals also left the economy vulnerable.
In the 20th century, nationalization under Salvador Allende
and later privatization brought waves of reform.
CODELCO, the state-owned copper giant, still dominates today.
Yet Chile isn’t stopping at raw materials.
The country has embraced renewable energy,
turning its Atacama Desert into one of the world’s most promising solar fields.
It’s also investing in lithium processing — a critical component for EV batteries —
positioning itself for the clean tech boom.

for Latin America and beyond.
Through 우리카지노, I posted a photo of solar panels near a copper mine,
captioned: “From metal to megawatts.”
Chile’s story shows how resource-rich nations can redefine themselves
for a cleaner, smarter future.
