- Sustaining cost discipline to protect margins from inflation.
- Executing the back-half loaded capex plan to deliver growth.

Question #1
Given the significant cost and schedule overruns at the Los Pelambres expansion, how does Arriagada balance his strategic focus on disciplined growth with the detailed, hands-on operational oversight required to ensure the multi-billion dollar Centinela project is delivered on budget?
Question #2
When balancing the company’s high-level sustainability goals against persistent, on-the-ground environmental and community conflicts, does Arriagada prioritize top-down strategic initiatives or the direct, hands-on engagement needed to resolve asset-level disputes?
Question #3
When faced with operational setbacks that threaten production guidance, does Arriagada’s playbook lean more towards financial re-planning and external messaging, or does he personally drive the technical, on-the-ground solutions to restore operational stability?
