Codelco to deploy lower carbon explosives in copper mine
The new explosives are expected to cause a significant reduction in emissions at the Radomiro Tomic mine.
An expansion of one of the world’s largest open pit copper mine received an important boost Monday after Utah regulators signed off on a permit allowing increased emissions from dust.
Kennecott Utah Copper can now begin to actively pursue almost two dozen other permits that are needed for the mine’s expansion, including approvals for the conversion of a coal-fired power plant to natural gas.
