</B>Sociedad Qu&iacute;mica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) reports that its current
projections regarding sales volumes of potash (MOP) during the fourth quarter of 2013 are similar to those volumes observed in
the third quarter and significantly higher than the average of the first two quarters of this year. The average prices observed
during thus far during the fourth quarter of 2013 are slightly lower (3% to 5%) than the prices of the third quarter of this year.
The MOP world market situation is relatively stable and SQM expects that average prices of the first quarter of 2014 will be similar

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">SQM&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, Patricio
Contesse, commented: &quot;We believe that the recovery of MOP prices is directly linked to growth in demand.&quot; He added that,
&quot;if the demand of 2014 surpasses 56 million tons, it is highly probable that a recovery in prices will be observed during
the second half of next year.&quot;</P>
