Codelco replaced top executives at El Teniente today after an audit found hidden data regarding a 2023 collapse. New leaders will now manage the flagship mine.

Insights:
State-owned Codelco announced on February 13, 2026, that it is replacing several top executives at its El Teniente mine following an internal audit that uncovered inconsistencies and the concealment of reported technical aspects. The investigation was initiated after a deadly collapse on July 31 and also reviewed a prior 2023 rock explosion. The findings indicated that certain technical elements were handled improperly, leading to the decision to overhaul leadership at the company's flagship operation in Chile CLCL.
