The Zaldívar mine is an open pit copper mine located in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. More precisely it lies in the inland portion of the commune of Antofagasta in the Antofagasta Region. In 2023 it produced 40,500 tonnes copper cathode. In December 2015 Antofagasta Minerals purchased 50% of the shares from Barrick Gold and thus took full control of the operation. Previously, the mine was fully owned by Placer Dome.
