SilverCrest releases high-return feasibility for Las Chispas, gives construction go-ahead

Collahuasi, owned by Anglo American Plc and Glencore Plc, is located in northern Chile and is among the world's largest copper mines.

Authorities may consider potential revisions to the mining laws in order to make companies that already own concessions to work on them or else give them up.

During the first quarter of 2018, output reached 52,672 ounces.

One of the main problems, says the head of Chile’s Mining Society, Diego Hernández, is miners have no incentives to do anything with the assets they already own and is very cheap to keep them.

The bank is selling off gold to keep the country afloat, drawing down its reserves of the metal to $6.6 bn from almost $20 bn at the beginning of 2012.

Anglo American Plc is moving towards a multibillion-dollar decision on building the world’s next major copper mine in Peru.

Relations between the world’s largest copper producer, Codelco, and unions in its Chuquicamata division have reached the lowest point in years.

The information was made public by The Wall Street Journal, whose journalists had access to a procedural order.

There are signs that the stalled $5 billion project could be reactivated.
