operations 62.8 2.4
Total continuing and discontinued operations 71.6 33.6
Earnings per share calculations are based on 985,856,695 ordinary shares. As a result of the factors set out above, profit
in the first half of 2015 attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was $705.8 million compared with $330.8
million in the first half of 2014. Accordingly, earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations were 71.6
cents in the first half of 2015 compared with 33.6 cents in first half of 2014, an increase of 113.1%.

Total dividends to ordinary shareholders 3.1 11.7
The Board determines the appropriate dividend each year based on consideration of the Group's cash balance, the level of
free cash flow and earnings generated during the year and significant known or expected funding commitments. It is expected
that the total annual dividend for each year would represent a payout ratio based on net earnings for that year of at least
35%.
The Board has recommended a final dividend for the first half of 2015 of 3.1 cents per ordinary share, which amounts to
$30.6 million and will be paid on 8 October 2015 to shareholders on the Register at the close of business on 18 September
2015.
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure decreased by $168.0 million from $767.3 million in the first half of 2014 to $599.8 million in the
period. This was mainly due to decreased construction costs at Antucoya which is now in commissioning, partly offset by
increased expenditure in respect of the Encuentro Oxides project.
Derivatives financial instruments
The Group periodically uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price movements. At 30 June
2015, the Group had commodity swaps for 2,400 tonnes of copper production covering a total period up to 31 January 2016.
The Group also periodically uses interest rate swaps to swap the floating rate interest for fixed rate interest. At 30 June
2015 the Group had entered into contracts at Centinela for a maximum notional amount of $123 million at a weighted average
fixed rate of 3.372 % fully maturing in August 2018. The Group had also entered into contracts in relation to a financing
loan at Ferrocarril Antofagasta Bolivia for a maximum notional amount of $150 million at weighted average fixed rate of
1.634% fully maturing in August 2019.
Cash flows
The key features of the Group cash flow statement are summarised in the following table.

Cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations were $807.7 million in the first half of 2015 compared with $1,170.0
million in the first half of 2014. This reflected EBITDA for the period of $561.6 million (first half of 2014 - $1,093.5
million) adjusted for a net working capital decrease of $240.8 million (first half of 2014 - decrease of $41.7 million).
Cash tax payments in the first half of 2015 year were $191.2 million (first half of 2014 - $389.0 million), comprising
corporate tax of $165.6 million (first half of 2014 - $99.0 million), mining tax of $11.7 million (first half of 2014 -
$59.0 million) and withholding tax of $12.9 million (first half of 2014 - $231.1 million). These amounts differ from the
current tax charge in the consolidated income statement of $117.8 million (first half of 2014 - $272.6 million) mainly
because cash tax payments for corporate tax and the mining tax partly comprise the settlement of outstanding balances in
respect of the previous year's tax charge and payments on account for the current year based on the prior year profit
levels.
Disposal of subsidiary of $947.3 million relates to the disposal Aguas de Antofagasta S.A., which carried out of the
group's water operations. Further details are given in Note 8 of the half yearly financial report.
Contributions and loans to associates and joint ventures of $39.4 million mainly relate to the Group's share of the funding
of the development of the Alto Maipo project.
Cash disbursements relating to capital expenditure in the first half of 2015 were $662.3 million compared with $788.5
million in the first half of 2014. This included expenditure of $175.4 million at Antucoya (first half of 2014 - $373.5
million), $233.6 million relating to Centinela (first half of 2014 - $223.8 million) and $101.8 million relating to Los
Pelambres (first half of 2014 - $109.5 million).
Dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of the Company in the first half of 2015 were $96.6 million (first half of 2014 -
$848.8 million), which related to the payment of the final dividend declared in respect of the previous year.
Dividends paid by subsidiaries to non-controlling shareholders were nil (first half of 2014 - $192.2 million).
Financial position

Cash, cash equivalents and liquid investments 3,220.0 2,264.4
Total borrowings (2,476.4) (2,119.4)
Net cash at the end of the period 743.6 145.0
At 30 June 2015 the Group had combined cash, cash equivalents and liquid investments of $3,220.0 million (30 June 2014 -
$2,264.4 million). Excluding the non-controlling interest share in each partly-owned operation, the Group's attributable
share of cash, cash equivalents and liquid investments was $2,785.0 million (30 June 2014 - $1,864.2 million).
New borrowings in the first half of 2015 were $357.3 million (first half of 2014 - $1,167.9 million), including new
short-term borrowings at Los Pelambres of $200.0 million and new long-term borrowings at Antucoya of $85.3 million.
Repayments of borrowings and finance leasing obligations in the first half of 2015 were $188.6 million, relating mainly to
repayments at Los Pelambres of $177.4 million.
Total Group borrowings at 30 June 2015 were $2,479.4 million (at 30 June 2014 - $2,119.4 million). Of this, $1,754.8
million (at 30 June 2014 - $1,460.7 million) is proportionally attributable to the Group after excluding the
non-controlling interest shareholdings in partly-owned operations.
Foreign currency exchange differences
The principal subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar are Chilean peso denominated, of which the
most significant was Aguas de Antofagasta S.A. ("ADASA"), which was disposed of in June 2015. For the six months ended 30
June 2015 the currency translation loss recognised in net equity was $3.9 million (first six months ended 30 June 2014 -
loss of $8.5 million) and reflect the effect between 1 January 2015 and the date of the disposal of ADASA.
Going concern
The Group's business activities, together with those factors likely to affect its future performance, are set out in the
Review of Operations. Details of the cash flows of the Group during the period, along with its financial position at the
period-end are set out in this Financial Review. The half yearly financial report includes details of the Group's cash,
cash equivalent and liquid investment balances in Note 18, and details of borrowings are set out in Note 15.
In assessing the Group's going concern status the Directors have taken into account the above factors, including the
financial position of the Group and in particular its significant balance of cash, cash equivalents and liquid investments,
the borrowing facilities (including the undrawn committed facilities) in place and their terms, the current copper price
and market expectations in the medium-term, the Group's expected operating cost profile and the its capital expenditure and
financing plans.
After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the half yearly financial report.
Principal risks and uncertainties
There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Group's performance over
the remaining six months of the financial year and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and
historical results. The Directors do not consider that the principal risks and uncertainties have changed since the
publication of the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2014. A detailed explanation of the risks summarised below
can be found in the Risk Management section of that annual report which is available at www.antofagasta.co.uk. Key headline
risks relate to the following:
· Community relations
· Strategic resources
· Operational risks
· Development projects
· Political, legal and regulatory risks
· Health and safety
· Environmental management
· Growth opportunities
· Commodity prices
· Foreign currency exchange
· Identification of new mineral resources
· Ore reserves and mineral resources estimates

Notes
1. General information and accounting policies
a) General information
These June 2015 interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("the condensed financial statements") are for the six
months ended 30 June 2015. The condensed financial statements are unaudited.
The information for the year ended 31 December 2014 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
auditor's report on these accounts was not qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain statements under section 498(2) (regarding
adequacy of accounting records and returns) or section 498(3) (regarding provision of necessary information and
explanations) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Group completed the sale of its Water Division, Aguas de Antofagasta S.A. to Empresas Públicas de Medellín, on 2 June,
2015. In these interim consolidated financial statements the results of the Water Division for the current period relating
to the five months to May 2015 are shown in the income statement on the line for "Profit for the period from discontinued
operations". The comparative results for the prior periods have accordingly been restated in order to present the
comparative figures on the "Profit for the period from discontinued operations" line.
A reclassification between property, plant and equipment and current inventories has been made in the prior period
comparative figures related to Ferrocarril Antofagasta Bolivia (FCAB). This has resulted in an increase in current
inventories and a corresponding decrease in property, plant and equipment of $13.0 million as at 30 June 2014 and $13.2
million as at 31 December 2014.
A reclassification between current and long-term inventories has been made in the prior period comparatives figures, to
ensure that the classification of inventory balances is fully in the line with the detailed mine plans. This has resulted
in a $72.0 million increase in the long-term inventory balance as at 30 June 2014 from $175.8 million to $247.8 million and
a corresponding $72.0 million decrease in the current inventory balances as at 30 June 2014 from $519.0 million to $447.0
million.
During 2014 the Group merged Minera Esperanza and Minera El Tesoro into a single entity - Minera Centinela. The production
of copper concentrate which was previously within Minera Esperanza is now referred to as Centinela concentrates, and the
production of copper cathodes which was previously within Minera El Tesoro is referred to as Centinela cathodes. In the
comparatives for the six months ended 30 June 2014 the results and balances for Esperanza and El Tesoro have been combined
into a single segment for Centinela, consistent with the current year presentation.

3. Segmental analysis
The Group's reportable segments are as follows:
· Los Pelambres
· Centinela
· Michilla
· Antucoya
· Exploration and evaluation
· Railway and other transport services
· Water concession
· Corporate and other items
For management purposes, the Group is organised into three business divisions based on their products - Mining, Railway and
other transport services and the Water concession. The mining division is split further for management reporting purposes
to show results by mine and exploration activity. Los Pelambres, Centinela and Michilla are all operating mines and
Antucoya is a development project. Los Pelambres produces primarily copper concentrate and molybdenum as a by-product,
Centinela produces primarily copper concentrate containing gold as a by-product and copper cathodes. Michilla produces
copper cathodes. The transport division provides rail cargo (based in Chile and Bolivia) and road cargo (based in Chile)
together with a number of ancillary services (based in Chile). The water division produces and distributes 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" also comprise costs incurred by
the Company, 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.
