BHP bets billions on Chile mines to face global copper crunch
BHP detailed to investors this week plans to spend $10.7 billion to $14.7 billion within about 10 years.
Peru’s Buenaventura, one of the country’s largest miners of precious metals, on Wednesday said it added two executives from Chile’s Antofagasta to its board of directors following a partnership that began late last year.
The new members are Ivan Arriagada, Antofagasta’s chief executive, and Andronico Luksic, Antofagasta’s vice president of development, Buenaventura said in a statement.
They will join another seven members on Buenaventura’s board of directors.
Antofagasta acquired a 19% stake of Buenaventura in December.
