Trade war has copper prices artificially low, Chile minister says

The company needs a cash injection to counter declining ore grades at its aging mines, as well as increasing costs vs low copper prices.

More than 55% of last year's exploration projects were located in these countries.

The country has identified 50 billion pounds of copper reserves, 12 million ounces of gold, 25,000 ounces of silver and 250 tons of molybdenum.

Here's how interdependent energy and water are.

The miner will also take a $770 million non-cash impairment charge.

Contract security guard was freed early Friday.

The company's Perama Hill project still needs approval to begin construction, while its larger Skouries project keeps facing opposition.

The positive results triggered the biggest one-day rally for the miner's shares since November.

In this environment, investors should stay cautious and the focus should remain on companies with strong balance sheets, top tier management teams, and projects in safe jurisdictions.
