Codelco calls emergency shareholder meeting after new accounting inconsistencies

Chile's state copper miner Codelco has called an extraordinary shareholders' meeting for November 5 after the board identified new inconsistencies in its financial figures, requested by the finance minister and deputy economy minister. The move signals potential governance or accounting irregularities at the world's largest copper producer, which could affect copper supply expectations and investor confidence in Chilean state enterprises. The nature and materiality of the inconsistencies remain undisclosed, and the meeting outcome is uncertain.
