The nationalization of the Chilean copper industry, commonly described as the Chilenization of copper was the process by which the Chilean government acquired control of the major foreign-owned section of the Chilean copper mining industry. It involved the three large world-class mines known as 'La Gran Mineria' and three smaller operations. The Chilean-owned smaller copper mines were not affected.
