About: Countries by Copper Mine Production 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total copper mine production in 2025, measured in thousand metric tonnes according to USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries and ICSG Copper Bulletin data. Chile has been the world's largest copper producer for over 50 years — with its vast porphyry copper deposits in the Atacama Desert, most notably the Escondida mine jointly operated by BHP and Rio Tinto and the state-owned Codelco operations at Chuquicamata and El Teniente, accounting for approximately 27% of global copper mine output. Copper's strategic importance has intensified dramatically with the electrification of the global economy — electric vehicles require four times more copper than internal combustion vehicles, and offshore wind turbines and solar panel installations require substantial copper wiring — making Chile's mining endowment an increasingly geopolitically significant resource.
