The Chilean Copper Commission (COCHILCO) is a specialized technical agency established in 1976.

Cochilco advises the Chilean government on matters concerning the production of copper and copper byproducts and metals and industrial minerals mining, except coal and fuels.

Both Chilean and foreign miners acknowledge Cochilco as a reliable source providing timely assessments of leading sector issues and problem-solving policy, strategy, and action proposals. Given its inclusive nature, Cochilco provides a common ground for public and private players seeking to work on initiatives designed to bolster mining sector growth.
