History -
Codelco's history begins with Law 11,828, of May 5, 1955, that created the Copper Office (Departamento del Cobre) of the Chilean government, approved under President Carlos Ibáñez del Campo. During the administration of President Eduardo Frei Montalva, Congress sanctioned law 16.425, on January 25, 1966, and transformed the Copper Office into the Copper Corporation of Chile (Codelco). The nationalization of the Chilean copper industry, (Chilenization) during the Salvador Allende government was the espoused basis for a later international boycott, which further isolated Chile from the world economy, worsening the state of political polarization. ...

The creation of the Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile, as it is currently known, was formalized by decree of April 1, 1976, under the Augusto Pinochet administration. A study by Goldman Sachs of January 2006 estimated the current value of the company between $24,5 and $27,5 Billions US[citation needed].
