President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he would allow the restart of certain mining activities before June.

Chile’s state-owned copper miner said it received more than 320 orders, worth $10.6 billion, the highest ever for a Codelco bond.

Vizcachitas is one of the largest copper deposits in the Americas not controlled by big companies.

Mestiza is one of two feeder pits to La India gold project. Once both in operation, the main deposit’s gold production will jump by 50% to 120,000 ounces a year.
