Notes of the table

(1) Las cantidades corresponden al peso bruto del producto exportado y no a su contenido metálico fino. / Quantities correspond to the gross weight of the exported product and not to its fine metal content.
(2) Incluye cobre refinado en bruto y aleaciones de cobre en bruto. / Includes unwrought refined copper and unwrought copper alloys.
(3) Los totales por continente pueden no coincidir exactamente con los totales por país, debido a la existencia de exportaciones cuyo destino no se encuentra asignado. Estas exportaciones no pueden clasificarse por continente; sin embargo, se incluyen en la categoría “Otros” de países. / Totals by continent may not exactly match totals by country due to the existence of exports with unassigned destinations. These exports cannot be classified by continent; however, they are included in the “Others” category under countries.
