Catedral is a mining prospect and porphyry copper ore deposit in the Andes along the border of Santiago Metropolitan Region and O'Higgins Region, Chile.[1] It lies about 25 km southeast of El Teniente, Chile's third most productive copper mine.[2][3] It is currently owned by the Chile's National Mining Enterprise (ENAMI) which classifies it as pertaining to the large-scale mining category and being greenfield in terms of exploration.[1] The prospect extends over an altitudinal range of 2100 to 4800 m a.s.l. where glaciers and rock glaciers exist.[1][4]
