Impact verdict
Low impact. M4.5 is well below the damage threshold for insured losses. No structural damage, port disruption, mining incident, or insured asset loss reported. Antofagasta is a major copper mining and port hub, but a sub-M5 event at 48 km depth presents no credible London Market loss pathway without evidence of facility damage, business interruption, or claims activity.
