In 2013, Chile produced 5.7 million metric tons of copper, followed by China (5.2 million metric tons), Peru (1.8 million metric tons), and the United States (1.3 million metric tons).<\/p>\n<p>Chile&#8217;s copper industry is dominated by a few large mining companies, including Codelco, Antofagasta Minerals, and BHP Billiton. These companies operate large open-pit mines in the Atacama Desert, which is one of the driest places on Earth. The mining process requires a large amount of water, which is a scarce resource in the Atacama Desert.
