Exhibit 2.01
Resource Extraction Payment Report

This report discloses the payments made by Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. to governments for the commercial development of minerals and which involve the exploration, extraction, processing and export of such minerals, or the acquisition of a license for any such activity. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “SQM,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” mean Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Payments to foreign governments include payments to the national government as well as subnational governments, such as the government of a state, province, department, county, district, municipality or territory under that foreign national government. All payments are reported in U.S. dollars, which is the presentation currency
of our consolidated financial statements under IFRS. Payments that were made in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been converted to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates existing at the time the payment is made. All payments are reported on a cash basis, meaning that they are reported in the period which they are paid, as opposed to being reported on an accrual basis (which would mean that they are were reported in the period for which the liabilities arise).
