SANTIAGO, April 25 (Reuters) - Chile President Gabriel

Boric said on Thursday he is targeting an increase in the

country's annual copper output by 1 million metric tons by the

end of his term in 2026.

"We have to take advantage of this super-cycle of copper

that has been spoken of positively in recent days," he said at

an event, adding that he was referring to state-run miner

Codelco as well as privately run operations in the country that

is the world's top copper producer.
