Page 9: Memoria 2015 Enaex P. 001-067

Dear Shareholders:

It is my pleasure to present, on behalf of the Board of Directors of Enaex S.A., the 2015 Annual Report and Financial

Statements. This was a very challenging year for the Company as we undertook an important growth process and

solidified our position as an international leader in comprehensive mining services.

This Annual Report goes beyond last year's financial results to include significant facets of our operations in all areas.

It is written in accordance with the Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC) framework, a model which aims to provide

a more thorough, precise and comprehensive representation of how the Company's resources are creating value.

This is part of ongoing efforts by the Company and the Board to disclose information beyond economic performance

in order to encompass all factors that predict a sustainable future. We believe that this is essential to the Company's

development, given the increasing demands and competition inside and outside our line of business.

In 2015, the Company sought to create value in all areas through several initiatives related to a client-focused

approach, innovation, safety, training, emissions control and energy efficiency.

In the last 12 months, Enaex achieved two important international milestones that demonstrate its leadership as a

global mining supplier. In May 2015, the Company purchased a 66.7% interest in Britanite, making it the sole

shareholder of Brazil's largest explosives company. Then, in July 2015, Enaex acquired 91% of France's Davey Bickford

group, one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of detonators for the explosives industry.

Expanding to provide cutting-edge initiation systems increased the Company's value offering and strengthened its

position as a comprehensive supplier of rock fragmentation products and services. Both deals were part of the

strategic plan to maximize international development and capitalize on strengths in the region by offering innovative

products that meet client needs and improve mining site efficiency ratios.

Despite economic slowdown and the mining industry's poor performance last year, Enaex posted favorable results

thanks to the aforementioned acquisitions and the Company's strong performance in foreign markets. These results

are a testament to the Company's progress within its line of business. As of December 2015, the Company recorded

US$761.8 million in revenue and US$104.6 million in profit, representing 18% and 5% growth, respectively, relative to

the prior year.

7COMPANY INFORMATION

Page 10: Memoria 2015 Enaex P. 001-067

Regarding investments in Chile, the multimatrix plant located in the Prillex complex in Mejillones opened in

September. Its 250,000 ton annual production capacity will enable Enaex to manufacture emulsions for different

applications and, thus, offer client-specific solutions. Furthermore, in Calama's Río Loa complex, a new packaged

emulsions plant began operations in order to increase production capacity and meet the constant demand for this

type of product.

Enaex exported 219,000 tons to international markets, primarily: Peru, Mexico, Argentina and Bolivia. Meanwhile, high

explosive exports reached 1,490 tons.

In rock fragmentation and blasting services, subsidiary Enaex Servicios S.A. began new operations in the Collahuasi

and Cerro Colorado mines—owned by Glencore, AngloAmerican and BHP Billiton, respectively—a testament to the

confidence that major, world-class mining operators place in our services.

Enaex's innovation process has been a cornerstone of its growth. A company priority, innovation is one of our

strategic pillars and is systematically practiced within the organization. It is a fundamental tool for contributing to our

clients' productivity and generating value in their operations. Once merely desirable, we believe that innovation is

now essential as the industry faces problems that require timely solutions and non-traditional insights. Joint

innovation efforts involving mining companies and their suppliers have become fundamental to the industry's

sustainability.

This year, as in years past, new and important steps were taken in developing custom products and services to meet

clients' everyday needs. Highlights in innovation include additions to the product line within the last two years,

including: Energex®, a high-energy, high-power explosive product that increases rock fragmentation; Pirex®, a

blasting agent designed especially for rock minerals with high pyrite content; and Hidrex®, an explosive specially

designed to control slopes and buffer blasts. ESE Business School at Universidad de los Andes recognized our

continuous development of industry solutions and our highly efficient processes, awarding Enaex the leading

position on the Most Innovative Companies Chile 2015 ranking.

In this Annual Report, we further integrate financial, social and environmental results. Regarding the environment,

the Company continues to work on the 2006 Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects to reduce nitrous oxide

emissions at the Prillex complex in Mejillones. On June 26, the United Nations renewed accreditation for the project,

which began in 2006, for a second, seven-year period. The Company's energy efficiency projects also continue,

translating into significant energy savings. Today, the Company has the capacity to cogenerate nearly 50% of its

electric power consumption, reducing CO2 equivalent emissions by approximately 30,000 tons annually. The

international organization Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) recognized Enaex as one of the eight best companies in

Latin America and the best in Chile in terms of climate change management.

We are optimistic about our future and see much potential for growth. We will continue to work in close coordination

and alignment with our suppliers and clients, to whom we are thankful for their confidence and support of our

operations.

I would like to thank our employees, clients, suppliers, team of banks and bond holders who have accompanied us

throughout the years and all challenges and goals we have set for ourselves. To our new employees from Britanite

and Davey Bickford, I offer a warm welcome and an invitation to join our continued efforts to expand in local and

international markets while we strengthen our leadership in manufacturing, quality, sustainability and innovation.

Likewise, I am grateful to the shareholders who have placed their trust in us and to the directors who have taken part

in this endeavor.

Enaex thinks big.

The Company earned several recognitions and

certifications in 2015. Phibrand named Enaex the

Best Domestic Supplier 2015 on its ranking of mining

service suppliers, while Universidad de los Andes

awarded the Company first place on its Most

Innovative Companies Chile 2015 ranking for the

mining services sector. Finally, the international

organization Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) recognized

Enaex as a leader in Chile and Latin America in its

Annual Climate Change Management Report.

The Company is known for its innovation, sustainability,

exceptional quality, safety and passion for service.

These values are crucial to satisfying client needs and

providing on-site solutions.

Enaex owns the world's largest Ammonium Nitrate

production complex: Prillex América. The plant has a

nominal capacity of 850 thousand tons/year and

produced a total of 782 thousand tons of Ammonium

Nitrate in 2015.

Enaex S.A., has contracts with a large portfolio of

important clients, including the region's main open-pit

and underground mines. In Chile, Enaex supplies the

world's most prestigious mining companies with rock

fragmentation and blasting services. The Company has an

extensive network of service plants to meet client needs

and requirements. Located at the main mining sites

throughout Chile, each plant provides a variety of services

for the mining industry, such as: shot blasting, loading

blasting agents, shallow mooring, plugging blast holes,

checking blasting holes, and magazine management.

In the rest of South America, Enaex stands out for its

continuous growth. In Argentina, the Company's subsidiary

Enaex Argentina SARL has a bulk emulsions plant in

operation since 2014. In Peru, Enaex acquired a 80%

interest in Chemtrade, which holds an Ammonium

Nitrate supply contract for Minera Antamina, Peru's

largest and one of the world's most important open-pit

mines. In May 2015, Enaex strengthened its presence in

Brazil, acquiring a 100% interest in the country's largest

manufacturer and seller of civil explosives and initiation

systems, IBQ Industrias Químicas (Britanite). The acquisition

solidified Enaex's position as the region's leading mining

services provider.

In June 2015, Enaex began to expand beyond Latin

America, acquiring a 91% interest in Davey Bickford, a

world leader in manufacturing electronic detonators. The

French-based company has offices in Australia, Chile and

the United States.

The Company's growth is aligned with the needs of the

community and the environment. It is underpinned by a

variety of sustainability initiatives, the most noteworthy of

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISK FACTORS

422015 ANNUAL REPORT / INTEGRATED REPORT

Page 45: Memoria 2015 Enaex P. 001-067

Innovation and Development:Enaex has developed a technology portfolio including

products and processes through in-house development,

licensing agreements and technology exchange with

industry leaders. This culture of innovation has enabled

Enaex to win several bidding processes with new

clients and report increasingly better results. With the

acquisition of Davey Bickford, Enaex solidified its

international leadership in mining innovation.

Training to Improve Productivity:All Enaex employees have access to training and

development programs which aim to help the

Company meet high quality standards and maintain

long-term relationships with all clients and suppliers.

Multicultural Communication:As an organization with a newly established global

presence, communication between the group's

subsidiaries is essential to objective alignment, innovation

culture, efficient processes and across-the-board

service quality.

Opportunities

Developing Synergies:With the acquisition of new subsidiaries in 2015, Enaex

covers the entire rock fragmentation value chain and

boasts important synergies to be leveraged in the short-

and medium-term.

On one hand, the incorporation of Britanite expands the

civil works knowledge base and offers direct access to

iron and aluminum markets in Brazil, where a respective

7% and 12.5% of the world's reserves are located.

On the other hand, the addition of Davey Bickford—with

its leadership in initiation systems and presence on

almost all continents—grants the Company access to an

international distribution network.

Enaex continues to boost its regional presence through

its subsidiaries in Argentina, Peru and Colombia as it

becomes the region's leading provider of complete,

comprehensive rock fragmentation service.

In order to create multicultural unity, the Company implemented an integration program for all employees that is promoted in several languages.

43STRATEGY

Page 46: Memoria 2015 Enaex P. 001-067

Risk Factors

Market Risk:The Company is highly exposed to the region's

mining industry, from which approximately 90% of

revenues originate, directly or indirectly. This year's

acquisitions have increased the Company's presence

in other markets in the region and around the world.

Credit Risk:The Company maintains medium- and long-term

relationships with regional clients renowned for their

experience and solvency. On the other hand, insurance

policies have been purchased to cover certain clients

with a different risk profile.

Accident Risk:The Company holds insurance policies to cover

physical loss to its property, losses due to resulting

business interruptions, as well as civil liability.

44

It is important to note that Enaex maintains a sound �nancial position, as re�ected in Feller Rate's maintenance of its risk rating (AA-, Stable outlook) and Fitch Ratings (AA-, Stable outlook) in 2015.

Input and Production Factor Risk:The Company is impacted by variations in international

ammonia prices, which are sensitive to oil and natural gas

prices. To mitigate the risk of fluctuation in this input,

client contracts stipulate periodic rate adjustments based

on indexation formulas that account for this product.

Risks in fluctuations in the cost of other relevant

production inputs, like oil or electricity, are also covered

using indexation formulas.

Financial Risks:The Company manages currency, interest rate and

working capital financing risk. Hedging mechanisms

are in place to mitigate the impact of exchange rate

fluctuations on operating and non-operating results.

In terms of interest rate risk, the Company has decided to

hedge its entire long-term debt in US dollars. It maintains

interest and currency rate swaps with a fixed weighted

average indebtedness rate at maturity of approximately

3.01% annually.

45STRATEGY

Enaex's conservative financial policy has resulted in a sound financial position.

For major investment projects, Enaex policy allows for a mixed financing structure, including external sources (local and international banks), publicly tendered bonds, company-generated funds and capital contributions. The Company aims to maintain a conservative medium-term debt structure and comfortable covenant cushion.

The Company's smaller investments aim to sustain growth and ensure normal replacement of operating assets, upgrades and new equipment to expand and improve production capacity, which were generally funded with the Company's operating cash flows.

Financial PolicyShort-term bank debt is generally used to cover working capital needs, which are primarily related to the purchase of ammonia. It is worth noting that levels of short-term bank debt can vary throughout the year as a result of fluctuations in the international price of ammonia and the efficiency of production processes.

Given the importance Enaex places on efficiently managing financial resources and implementing strategies to face exchange market volatility, the Company maintains strict control of its investments, cash flows and working capital while focusing on maintaining its stock and credit ratings.

In 2015, important progress was made toward consolidating Enaex as a global company capable of effectively operating in a multinational environment and positioning itself as the world's most prestigious company in the field.

In Enaex's assessment of the 2015-2020 strategic

development plan, this year's acquisitions helped the

Company successfully achieve some of its first goals,

like regional leadership and increased global presence.

The Company also earned recognition for its strong

innovation and development, which has focused on

continuously improving process productivity with an

emphasis on meeting client needs. Thanks to this

effort, the Company won bids with new clients and is

able to offer unique products. The Company's strong

performance was also thanks to our employees, who

have kept the highest quality standards and have

embraced a global culture.

Enaex Argentina SRLEnaex Argentina has been servicing open-pit and

underground mines since 2007. It owns the High

Explosives Plant in Olavarría and, as of 2014, the

Campanario Emulsions Plant (PEC) in the province of

San Juan, which has an annual production capacity of

approximately 65,000 tons. This project secures supply

for local clients, minimizing risks associated with import

substitution policies, increasing competitiveness and

increasing the probability of being awarded future

contracts. The company also performs underground

loading operations with the Underground Bulk

System—the first of its kind in Argentina—using UBS

equipment and emulsions produced at the Campanario

Emulsions Plant.

In late 2015, Argentina's new government took power,

announcing guidelines for a new macroeconomic

framework and economic reforms like elimination of

exchange market and international trade restrictions.

.

Enaex Colombia S.A.SEnaex has been operating in Colombia since 2010, when

it built and opened a high-tech packaged emulsions

plant through a partnership contract with the defense

industry.

The mining energy sector is the bedrock of the

Colombian national economy. Colombia is home to

large-scale, open-pit coal mining operations as well as

gold, nickel, copper, limestone and iron ore operations,

which are becoming important alternatives for the

country's mining development. Likewise, Colombian

roadway and port infrastructure development is in full

swing. Given the topography of the country, these

infrastructure concessions will necessarily include tunnel

construction, meaning significant growth in the demand

for explosives in coming years and important opportunities

for blasting services and technical support.

Chemtrade S.A.C.In 2014, Enaex re-entered the Peruvian market, acquiring

an 80% interest in Chemtrade, an explosives manufacturing

and blasting accessories company. The Company's

Peruvian operations also manufacture pyrotechnic

detonators and ANFO in sacks, which are distributed

primarily to the local market. Products like Ammonium

Nitrate, boosters, dynamite and cartridge emulsions will

be imported, primarily from Chile. In 2015, the four-year

Ammonium Nitrate supply contract with Peru's largest

copper mine, Antamina (BHP) became effective.

In 2015, many developed economies recorded higher

growth than in the prior year. This was especially true

in the United States where the GDP grew nearly 2.4%.

Meanwhile, the euro zone expanded nearly 1.5%, up

from the 2014 figure of 0.9%. On the other hand,

Chinese economic growth was about 6.9%, down

from the 7.3% recorded in 2014.

Mining Industry

The economy was dominated by the expected 2015 increase in the US

monetary policy rate, which was raised 25 base points in December

2015. The slowdown in China this year and the increase in copper

production inventories in Chile drove the average price of the red

metal down from US$3.11/lb in 2014 to $2.49/lb in 2015.

In 2016, based on increased demand from China, the United States

and India, copper prices are expected to average $2.15/lb.

These price projections could drive global copper demand upwards

by 2.3% in 2016 and 2.6% in 2017, according to studies by the Chilean

Copper Corporation (Cochilco). Cochilco also cites another reason for

the lower price projected for 2016: global copper supply is expected

to increase 4.6% as a result of expanded capacity and new projects in

Peru, a country expected to become the world's second largest

copper producer.

Copper Prices

Global Economic Performance

Emerging economies grew 4% in 2015, with India

standing out at 7.3%. Chilean economic growth was

similar to the prior year; at nearly 2.0%, its was above the

Latin American average.

In 2016, growth numbers are expected to rise for

developed economies. However, growth projections

place Chinese figures at nearly 6.3%, a decrease compared

to the 2015 figure of 6.9%.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT / INTEGRATED REPORT

Page 55: Memoria 2015 Enaex P. 001-067

Chilean mining operations produced nearly 5.76 million tons in

2015. The 0.25% increase leaves production practically unchanged

in relation to 2014.

In 2016, copper production levels are expected to remain steady,

increasing just 0.1%. According to Cochilco, growth is expected to

resume in 2017 at a rate of 3.1% for a total of 5.95 million tons.

As of year end 2015, the potential project portfolio and existing

investment for 2024 total nearly US$77 billion. If the entire project

portfolio comes to fruition, Chile can be expected to produce nearly

7.84 million tons in 2024.

Molybdenum, the most important sub product in copper production,

reached production levels of nearly 52,700 tons, a 7.8% change

relative to the year prior.

Copper Production

53BUSINESS AREAS

In 2015, the majority of commodities related to the

explosives market experienced price decreases; even

so, total production of these commodities remained

steady relative to the prior year.

On the other hand, these decreases have been offset

by the demand for explosives due to maturation of

mining sites. Reduced mineral grade and increase in

the overburden-ore ratio drive up consumption of

explosives. In other words, more blasting material is

required to keep production constant.

Despite falling commodity prices, the regional market

also remained in line with 2014. New projects and the

drop in mineral grade from mining sites kept the

demand for explosives steady.

Finally, at the local and regional levels, the explosives

market is expected to expand in the short- and

medium- term, primarily due to the project portfolio

in the region's main markets.

In 2015, following the acquisition of the

subsidiaries Britanite in Brazil and Davey

Brickford in France, Enaex's strategic challenge

is "to become a global company able to

operate in a multinational environment and to

be the industry's most prestigious company in

the world." Consequently, this year marked the

beginning of the second cycle of a cultural

transformation process that promotes

leadership and globalization, while we

continue to strive to become a

high-performance company.

The following section highlights the main

initiatives implemented in 2015.

Recognition ProgramIn 2015, the Company continued its recognition

campaign, which is designed to foster a culture that

encourages positive employee attitudes. This year, the

number of awards rose approximately 40%. Each year, the

program culminates with the Company's highest honor:

the Enaex Spirit (Espíritu Enaex) award.

Organizational ClimateAs it does every year, Enaex measured its workplace

climate. Results indicated high satisfaction as employees

highlighted aspects like pride in the Company's brand,

benefits and leadership

Flexible Benefit ProgramThe flexible benefit program allows employees to select

benefits according to their individual needs. This year's

enhanced program included additional alternatives within

the established categories. Launched in 2014, this year

the participation rate reached 92%.

Recruitment and SelectionThis year our employer brand was optimized by

updating the image of our recruitment platform,

cultivating relationships with universities and developing

new selection formats.

Internal MobilityIn 2015, 60% of vacancies were filled from within the

Company. Additionally, we began to offer intragroup

mobility as new subsidiaries were incorporated.

Young Professionals ProgramAt Enaex, young professionals are a differentiated

segment that receives special attention. The Company

aims to carefully develop their careers and separately

measures their perceptions of the work environment.

Talent Development and Succession PlansThe Company uses a performance-potential matrix to

continuously map and monitor its teams of professionals.

Executives meet periodically to identify critical positions,

succession plans and other relevant facets.

People at the Right TimeKnowledge ManagementGiven the highly specialized and growing nature of the

Company, the Human Resources Division began designing

a knowledge management model this year. The

long-term project ensures the Company's ability to

protect data and facilitate transfer of the knowledge that

gives it a competitive advantage and is inherent to the

business. The program leads to a certificate, for which

Enaex will apply in 2016.

CommunicationThis year's focus extends beyond current channels to

make the Company's leadership the main source of

communication.

As part of the process of integrating recently acquired

companies, a new newsletter is distributed to all Grupo

Enaex employees.

In 2015, Enaex provided more than 25,000 hours

of training to more than 1,500 people, making sure

to cover technical specialization, certifications and

re-training of critical positions.

The year's main programs are:

Maintenance Training, Prillex Plant:Training was provided on more than 30 topics, primarily technical and specific to the area of production.

Re-training, Prillex Plant:This program seeks to meet OSHA standards for operator training.

Training, Río Loa Detonator Plant: Initial training using interactive iBooks as a method of instruction. This pilot project will continue in 2016 in the explosives area and will be expanded to the plant's acid area.

Sales Model Program in Service Plants:This program for managers, supervisors, heads of plant and service KAMs seeks to teach concrete, client-focused tools for sales and key positions within the company.

Service Plant Certification:More than 350 employees were certified through a driver-certification plan for mobile manufacturing units instituted at all service plants.

English Program:Special efforts were made in the area of English-language training, including employees from all the regions where the Company operates.

Training Scholarship ProgramIn 2015, 51 employees had their studies funded by the

scholarship program. The program gives preference

to programs leading to technical and professional

degrees over post-graduate degrees.

Leadership ProgramEnaex is concerned with developing leaders and providing

the tools necessary for excellent performance. In

2015, special attention was paid to the concept of

natural leadership teams, which work with an expert

consultant to identify opportunities for improvement.

Leaders from the human resources area also joined

the effort in order to adopt the leadership technique

as part of corporate culture.

Training Labor Relations

Enaex conducted six successful collective bargaining

processes: four with unions (unions 1 and 2 as well as the

intercompany union at the Río Loa plant and union 4

from Radomiro Tomic) and two with negotiating groups

(Sierra Gorda and Mantoverde plants). Union leadership

gathered for its annual day of objective alignment and

training on new trends.

Driver fatigue and drowsiness are latent risk at

Enaex given the routes and distances driven. In

response, a Fatigue Control Program was implemented

at the Prillex plant in 2015. The project uses an

ocular control device (FIT 2000) into which an

individual's normal parameters are programmed.

When parameters are out of this range, the device

sends an alert. The early alert provided by the

device obliges drivers to rest, impeding their

departure until they pass the ocular control test.

The new fatigue control protocols drove the number

of serious transportation-related accidents down to

zero in 2015.

Fatigue and Drowsiness Detection Program

For the second straight year, Enaex has awarded

scholarships for training on Emergency Management

involving Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) in the

United States.

In 2015, the scholarships were awarded to two

emergency response team members at the Prillex

and Río Loa plants and firemen in the Mejillones

and Antofagasta brigades.

The five-day course, aimed at Spanish speaking

emergency response personnel, took place at the

University of Texas. Participants earned a technical

degree in responding to emergencies involving

hazardous materials.

Scholarship for HAZMAT Training in the United States

In terms of comprehensive management of risks

related to operating processes and resource protection,

Enaex focused its efforts on enhancing worker

occupational safety and health to maintain the highest

possible level of physical, mental and social wellbeing

among its people.

The most common HSEC risk management activities

include pre-employment and on-the-job health screenings,

qualitative and quantitative assessments of risk agents,

epidemiological surveillance and programs that specifically

aim to control the risk of occupational disease.

In accordance with one of Enaex's main values, "Employee

Wellness", the Company has made special efforts to

promote a healthy lifestyle and self-care in order to

reduce cardio metabolic risks related to chronic

diseases like obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, and thus

improve its employees' quality of life and job safety.

Community Involvement

The open door program seeks to increase community

awareness of the Company's operations by inviting

the community into its plants for monthly visits and

through Enaex employee visits to the community. In

2015, there were a total of 18 visits. The Company also

donated emergency evacuation vehicles to the

Integra day care center, supplies to the Julia Herrera

Varas school, personal protection equipment to

differently-abled youth at the Juan José Latorre

Benavente technical school, potable water to the

fishing village of Michilla and the funds collected

during the corporate matching campaign to the 2015

telethon. The Dual Education program incorporated

10 students into plant operations. Each worked under

the supervision of a mentor, then applied the knowledge

gleaned to specific projects.

The Prillex plant in Mejillones

continued its

Open Door and Dual Education programs.

At Green Day Mejillones, the entire community, including

families and the Company, came together around caring

for the environment by recycling. The mayor thanked

Enaex for organizing this important event which

demonstrates the Company's commitment to the

environmental wellbeing of Mejillones and its residents.

Enaex organized the �fth annual

Green Day Mejillones

Enaex also participated in the �fth annual

Expomejillones,

The event’s central theme was Sustainability. The Prillex plant's

energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction initiatives were

presented, along with the Company's community involvement

through planting trees in plazas and cleaning up the coastline.

Additionally, more than 500 plants from the Prillex plant

greenhouse, one of the symbols of Enaex's sustainability in the

community, were donated.

61SOCIAL PERFORMANCE

Like Prillex, the Río Loa plant has engaged with the

community on several social responsibility issues. This

year, Enaex partnered with the zone's farming community

to participate in the 2nd Agriculture Expo 2015—an

initiative by ProLoa. The Company also made a donation

to support the PRODEMU foundation's celebration of

Chile's national holidays. On the other hand, after last

September's earthquake in Chile's region IV, Enaex and its

service providers conducted an important aid campaign,

collecting cleaning supplies and nonperishable food

items for the families whose homes were damaged in the

town of Canela.

As part of our continued efforts to improve education for

children and young people, Enaex invited students

seeking technical-professional internships at the Job Fair

hosted by Minero B-10 school to visit the operations

conducted at the Río Loa plant where they can develop

their talent. Enaex's Human Resource Division also helped

the community by seeking to improve the employability

of people in poverty through an external training

program on general machine maintenance. The program

funds the studies of 15 individuals in the city of

Talcahuano. Participants may then apply for a position

at Enaex or continue their studies in the Risk

Prevention Program at the SK Group's Center for

Technical Training in Talcahuano.

In 2015, activities involving the Calama

community and the environment were also

redoubled. Thanks to installation of

containers for separating household waste,

Enaex and Calama Recicla collected a total of

1,962 Kg of plastic, paper, cardboard, glass and cans.

Furthermore, on November 10th, a Punto

Limpio recycling center was launched so that

service providers may separate their

household waste, thus comply with the

recommendations in Environmental

Assessments.

Finally, the Calama Decontamination Plan was

updated. Between October 21st and

November 30th, Enaex actively participated in

the call from Antofagasta's Regional

Ministerial Secretary of the Environment to

draft the first and second reports: "Updated

emissions information for breathable

particulate matter and its precursors in the

city of Calama."

Emissions Management and Carbon Credits

Carbon CreditsIn 2006, the Company implemented a Clean

Development Mechanism (CDM) project to reduce

nitrous oxide emissions from the nitric acid plant.

Thanks to this project, CO2 equivalent emissions at

the Prillex América complex in Mejillones are down

98%. On June 26, 2015, the United Nations approved

this project's accreditation for a second, seven-year

period.

Furthermore, the CDM project at the acid plant in Río

Loa, reduced emissions by approximately 50%.

2015 Carbon FootprintIn 2012, Enaex began to assess the environmental impact of its

operations, using GreenHouse Gas protocol methodology to

calculate its carbon footprint. Calculations are made in order to

seek continuous improvement, make performance information

more transparent and strive to be a low-carbon emissions

company.

The initiative revealed the strengths of greenhouse gas

emissions management, as well as the opportunities for

improving process efficiency. In 2015, emissions were

approximately 1.5 million tons of C02 equivalent—65% of which

were indirect emissions generated by third parties and related

companies, mainly attributable to purchases of inputs.

The 2015 Carbon Footprint, broken down by production plant

was: 95% Prillex América plant, 4% Río Loa plant and 1% Punta

Teatinos and offices.

Carbon Disclosure Project

In 2015, Enaex participated for the second time in the annual

climate change questionnaire, which the Carbon Disclosure

Project's (CDP) conducts of more than 4,500 companies around

the world. The survey is performed at the request of 822

investment firms that, in addition to assessing the financial

soundness and management of the companies where they

invest, also value commitment to climate change. The 2015 CDP

report recognized Enaex as one of the best companies in Chile

and Latin America in this area, earning 96% for transparency

(22% higher than 2013) and a B-rating for managing initiatives

that successfully reduce greenhouse gases. These results earned

the Company a place among the eight best companies in Latin

America and tied it with Colbún S.A. for the best in Chile.

Since 2010, Enaex has developed energy efficiency

projects that have significantly reduced operating

costs while indirectly reducing CO2 equivalent emissions.

Energy Ef f iciency

In 2015, the Prillex complex in Mejillones used steam to self-generate

30% of total potential consumption. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions,

16,700

tons of CO2 equivalent were not released into the atmosphere.

Recycling Plastics

In 2015, Enaex and partner Greendot recovered

182,073 Kg in recyclable plastic waste—the equivalent of approximately 290 tons of CO2 equivalent.

67ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

Regulatory Compliance Plan

As part of the Company's sustainable development, Enaex has established procedures to

identify and manage its regulatory obligations and thus mitigate the risk of sanctions and

losses resulting from breaches thereof.

There were three main milestones in 2015

2. Work continued on the Regulatory

Compliance Matrix, which is meant to

serve as a preventative control for

compliance with applicable legal

standards and regulations. In 2015,

progress was made on aligning these

matrices with those on operational

compliance at each production plant.

3. In order to encourage internal

compliance with the regulatory matrices,

like the protocols related to public

employees and entities, a training plan

was instituted for all Enaex workers. The

first phase included training at the

Santiago office and the La Serena and Río

Loa plants.

1. For the first time, internal criteria for

distinguishing the Company's legal

documents were established. A formal

database makes it possible to quickly

and easily identify applicable legal

documentation for all the Company's

everyday paperwork, processes and

procedures.
