Saudi Arabia to visit Brazil and Chile as seeks to diversify mining
The diversification strategy includes plans to expand into international mining to secure access to minerals including copper, cobalt and nickel, as well as lithium.
Chile’s mines minister Baldo Prokurica on Friday maintained the government’s 2019 copper price prediction of $3.05 per pound.
Prokurica told a press conference in Santiago he was holding the price outlook amid optimism around US-China trade talks taking place in Washington at present.
