potable water to
domestic customers and untreated water to industrial customers in Chile's Antofagasta Region. The Exploration and
evaluation segment incurs exploration and evaluation expenses. "Corporate and other items" comprises costs incurred by the
Company, other holding companies of the Group and Antofagasta Minerals S.A., the Group's mining corporate centre and other
entities, that are not allocated to any individual business segment. Consistent with its internal management reporting, the
Group's corporate and other items are included within the mining division. 
 
Management monitors the operating results of business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about
resources to be allocated and of assessing performance. Segment performance is evaluated based on the operating profit of
each of the segments.

4.   Revenues 
 
Copper and molybdenum concentrate sale agreements and copper cathode sale agreements generally provide for provisional
pricing of sales at the time of shipment, with final pricing being based on the monthly average London Metal Exchange
copper price or monthly average molybdenum price for specified future periods. This normally ranges from one to five months
after shipment to the customer.  The provisional pricing mechanism within the sale agreements is an embedded derivative
under IFRS. Gains and losses from the marking-to-market of open sales are recognised through adjustments to revenue in the
income statement and to trade debtors in the balance sheet. The Group determines mark-to-market prices using forward prices
at each period end for copper concentrate (including gold by-product sales) and cathode sales, and period-end month average
prices for molybdenum concentrate sales due to the absence of a futures market in the market price references for that
commodity in the majority of the Group's contracts. 
 
In addition to mark to market and final pricing adjustments, revenue also includes realised gains and losses relating to
derivative commodity instruments. Details of these realised gains or losses are shown in the tables below. Further details
of derivative commodity instruments in place at the year ended are given in Note 5. 
 
Copper and molybdenum concentrate sales are stated net of deductions for tolling charges, as shown in the tables below.
