| a) | Estimated useful lives or amortization rates used for finite identifiable intangible assets
Finite useful life measures the length of, or number of production or similar units constituting that useful life. The estimated useful life for software is 2-6 years, for other assets with a finite useful life, the useful life over which they are amortized corresponds to the periods defined by the contracts or rights from which they originate. Intellectual property rights, patents and other industrial property rights, service and exploitation rights, mainly relate to water rights and have a finite useful life to the extent to which they are subject to a fixed-term contract or otherwise they are considered to be indefinite. The company owns mining claims granted by Corfo, which correspond to assets subject to restitution. For this reason, they are considered assets with a finite useful life and their useful life is assigned until the year 2030 when the contract ends.
| b) | Method used to assess identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful life
The recoverable value of the cash-generating unit has been determined based on a calculation of value-in-use using cash flow projections for a period of 5 years, plus perpetuity. The present value of future cash flows generated by these assets was calculated given a variation in sales volumes, market prices and costs, discounted at a WACC rate of 8.04%. This group of intangible assets includes water rights acquired in Chile, and mining concessions held by the company in Chile and Australia, and these rights are recorded at acquisition cost.
| c) | Minimum and maximum amortization lives or rates of intangible assets:
Estimated useful lives or amortization rate |  |  | Minimum life or rate |  |  |  | Maximum life or rate |
Mining property, water rights and rights of way |  |  | Indefinite |  |  |  | Indefinite |
Intangible assets other than goodwill |  |  | Indefinite |  |  |  | Indefinite |
Intellectual property rights, patents and other industrial property rights, service and exploitation rights |  |  | 1 year |  |  |  | 16 years |
Trademarks |  |  | 1 year |  |  |  | 5 years |
Software |  |  | 2 years |  |  |  | 6 years |
