  • Before we begin, I would like to remind you of Antofagasta's purpose: Developing Mining for a Better Future.
  • Through this purpose, we put sustainability at the heart of our business. We aim to mine and produce copper in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, with a positive contribution to all of our stakeholders.
  • Here we see can a good example of our purpose in action: In the first half of this year, we opened a remote operating centre for Los Pelambres. Through remote operations, we see benefits in safety by removing people from risk environments.

  • Safety remains our priority and I am pleased to report that we had another period of positive safety performance. We continue to operate with no fatal accidents and safety indicators remain at historically low levels.
  • However we are not complacent and later René will talk you through some of our initiatives that continue to help embed a safety-first culture across our business.
  • On financial performance, revenues rose by 14%, despite a 3% decline in the realised copper price.
  • Our EBITDA margins remain resilient, with a margin of 46% in the first half, which is in line year on year.
  • We have long maintained a strong balance sheet, with low gearing. As of 30th June, we had net debt of 0.27 times EBITDA.
