The Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines is offering credits to artisanal and small-scale miners with the goal of fostering environmentally friendly practices.
Butterfield Canyon, which once hosted a Rio Tinto Kennecott mine that was part of the Bingham Canyon complex, has turned into the Butterfield Trailhead Regional Park.
The company pegged the financial impact of the dispute at its Penasquito mine at approximately $1 million in maintenance costs and $2.7 million a day in lost revenue.
