LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Chilean copper miner Antofagasta ANTO.L posted an 52% jump in annual core profit on Tuesday, aided by higher prices for the metal despite a modest production drop.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for 2025 rose to a record $5.2 billion from $3.43 billion a year earlier, in line with analysts' expectations of $5.2 billion.
