</B>Sociedad Qu&iacute;mica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) informs that as of
today, it learned that as a result of not having incurred the mining exploration expenses required under the legal framework in
2015, the Warden&rsquo;s Court of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety of Western Australia has recommended
not to accept exceptions in the process to validate the granting of certain mining licenses to Kidman Resources, SQM&rsquo;s partner
in the Mount Holland Project.</P>

statements&rdquo; within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo;
 &ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;strategy,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;will&rdquo; and similar references

Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to the documents filed by SQM with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent annual report on Form 20-F, which identifies
important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements are based on information available to SQM on the date hereof and SQM assumes no obligation to update such statements,
