Codelco is seeking to sell bonds within 12 months to help finance a $4 billion investment in its Chilean mines next year, Bloomberg reports. The state-owned copper company did not reveal the amount it will raise in the debt markets.

The company will raise part of the investment in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds as well as using amortization and retention of profits. Codelco will spend at least $20 billion in 10 years to boost annual production. The company sold $1 billion of 10-year bonds in October.
