Trafigura asks to subpoena banks in search for lost nickel funds
Trafigura is still chasing down the funds almost two years after news broke that it was on the hook for almost $600 million.
The largest union at Chile’s Escondida copper mine voted to “indefinitely” extend a strike at the mine, which is controlled by global diversified miner BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP, BHP.AU), union leader Jose Vidal said Friday.
Members of 2,350-strong Escondida Mine Workers Union No. 1 “unanimously voted” to extend the work stoppage, which began Thursday night and was initially slated to end 24 hours later at 8 p.m. EDT on Friday, Vidal told Dow Jones Newswires.
