MC will hold this participation through a new joint venture company which is owned 50% by MC, 40% by Nippon Mining & Metals Co., Ltd., and 10% by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation.
This transaction was finalized after completion of the necessary documentation among MEL's existing shareholders and obtaining approval of the Chilean authorities.

MEL is the owner of the Escondida mining operation located in northern Chile. The Escondida mine commenced production in 1990, and through subsequent expansion phases has increased its production capacity to become the largest copper mine in the world.
