To the Shareholders of
ANACONDA COPPER MINING COMPANY
THE demand for non-ferrous metals during the year 1936 in the United States
continued to increase above that of; the prior year and Wjth the demand that had been established in foreign markets caused a rapid expansion of the industry. The monthly consumption of copper during the year reached its peak in October in both the domestic arid foc'eigtt niht'kets.: Slocks of tefified copper decreased materially and production was substantially increased during fie .latter part of the year.
World production of primary blister copper totalled 1,799,940 tons, of which 604.340 tons were domestic dutv-iree, and 1.195,600 tons were foreign. Production of primary copper in the United States showed an increase of approximately 62% over that of the prior year.; Productionabroad was approximately the same. World produc' tion of primary refined copper was 1.760.299 tons, the domestic duty-free copper amounting to 621.371 tons and foreign to 1.138.928 tons.
In comparison with 1935 'yorkf consumption of primary copper amounted to
1.593.543 tons, an increase of ,$%>!'.consumption of primary copper in the United
StSteslofifiSjlfiSIjilonS:, ah; increase'of
and foreign consumption to 1,830,11" tons,
approiimalhly-l^eisamei.iaS; InrtShe, pievibus year. The consumption in the domestic
market, including secondary copper, totalled 764,560 tons, an increase of 44.7% compared
with the previous year.
Stocks of duty-free refined copper in the United States were reduced during the year by 70.347 toils and refined stocks abroad by 62,897 tons, a total decrease of 133,244 tons. Stocks ojf, rbfined copper afe the end of the year, as reported by the Copper Insti tute, wjpf'e'iSI.sf^iiitons of duty-free and 192,255 tons of foreign. At these levels stocks
are normal and future demand must be supplied by production.
Production of zinc in the United States was 521,271 tons, an increase of 21.5% compared with the prior year, and consumption amounted to 563,273 tons, an increase of 23.1%. Stocks of zinc on hand at the close of the year totalled 44,756 tons, the lowest since June 30,1929.
The trend of non-ferrous metal prices was definitely upward during the year. The domestic price of copper was 9.025/ per pound f.o.b. refinery at the beginning of the year and was 11.775/ per pound at the end. The price for export copper f.o.b. refinery was 8.375/ per pound at the first of the year and at the close was 11.600/ per pound. Zinc at the end of the year was 5.450/ per pound St. Louis, compared with 4.850c per pound at the beginning. The price for silver mined in the United States remained at 77.57/ per ounce throughout the year and gold at 835.00 per ounce. The price for foreign silver showed slight variation throughout the year and was 45/ per ounce at the close.
The prices of the principal metals as reported by the Engineering & Mining Journal were as follows:

CORPORATE CHANGES
The Chile Copper Company Twenty-Year 5% Debentures due January 1, 1947, of
which 326.574.000 were outstanding at the beginning of the year, were called on Januarv
1, 1937, at the redemption, price of 101. Funds to the amount of $25,000,000 for the
retirement of these Debentures were obtained through serial notes of Chile Copper
Company, guaranteed by Anaconda Copper Mining Company, payable to banks.
$2,000,000 annually from December 10, 1937, to December 10, 1940, and $17,000,000
December 10, 1941. Subsequently and before, the close of the year notes of Chile
Exploration Company in like amounts similarly guaranteed were issued to the banks
in lieu of notes of Chile Copper Company. The remainder of the funds required was
provided from the treasury of Chile Copper Company. Through this financing sub
stantial savings were effected in yearly interest charges.
.
The Anaconda Lead Products Company was organized in 1919, and produced at its plant at East Chicago^ Indiana, dry white lead by an electrolytic process under patents acquired from the late Elmer A. Sperry. The total stock of the Company was 13,650 shares of which 10.99% had been issued to the, Sperry interests in exchange for the above patents. This stock was purchased for the sum of $80,000, in June, 1936. Thereafter the Company was dissolved and its assets transferred to the International Smelting and Refining Company.
I)n conformity with the steps being taken to simplify and integrate the holdings of the Company, Andes Exploration Company (Delaware), Butte Electric Railway Company, Mountain Trading Company, and New York and Hastings Steamboat Company, all 100% owned subsidiaries, were dissolved during the year and their assets
transferred to the parent Company or its consolidated subsidiaries. The assets of the New York and Hastings Steamboat Company were acquired by Chile Steamship Company Incorporated, a wholly'-owned subsidiary of Chile Copper Company.
The substitution of natural; gas and oil developed in the State of Montana for other fuels, so Impaired the market for coal that it became advisable to discontinue operations at the plant of the Company at Washoe, Montana. The Milltown plant, no longer needed in the operation of the Lumber Department, was discarded during the year. These items, together with some mining prospects, carried on the books at $637,081.32, were written off and charged to surplus.

OPERATIONS.
The operations at the mines and the reduction, refining, fabricating and other
plants of your Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were conducted continuously
during the year, with the exception of the properties of the Mexican subsidiary of
Greene Curianea Copper Company which were closed down by a strike for two and
erne-hail mppttis in the early part of thd year., During the latter half of the year the
increasing demand for metals necessitated a: rapid Increase in operations, particularly
of the copper1 producing units, and by the ecid of the year the consumptive demands were
such that all metal producing and fabricating properties were operation, or were being
prepared for operation, on a normal basis, with the exception of the zinc'.plants in
llbnltaha which were obliged by fdpr. tpnippratuiie'. and ^shortage of water for power to
curtail output.1 (Note--Such conditions caused suspension of operations of zinc plants
for pne. month at the begirmilhg: of1 iMt).

To the Board of Directors, Anaconda Copper Alining Company,
23 Broadway, New York, S'. A'.
We have made an examination of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31st 1936, of Anaconda Copper Mining Company and of the other corporations whose accounts are consolidated with its1 accounts as stated in Note A to the Consolidated Balance Sheet (which other corporations are hereinafter referred to as consolidated subsidiaries) and of their Consolidated Income and Surplus Accounts for the calendar year 1936.
In connection with, our audit we examined or tested the accounting records of Anaconda Copper Alining Company and its consolidated subsidiaries together with other supporting evidence and made a general review of the accounting methods and of the operating and
income accounts for the calendar year 1936, but we did not make a detailed audit of the trans actions.
The practice of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to the computation of their
net income or net loss without deduction for depletion of metal mines is, in our opinion, in
accordance with accepted principles of accounting in industries engaged in the mining of
copper, gold, lead, silver and zinc.
-
In our opinion, based on our examination, such Balance Sheet, Income and Surplus Accounts, together with the notes attached thereto or appearing thereon, fairly present, in accordance with accepted principles of accounting in the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, consistently maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries, the consolidated position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31st, 1930 and the Combined results of their operations for the calendar year 1936.
