Chile orders definitive closure of Lundin’s Alcaparrosa mine
Lundin must permanently close its Alcaparrosa copper mine and faces a $3.41 million fine, which it can either pay or appeal.
Chile’s total copper production fell 2.34% in November on an annual basis to reach 442,800 metric tons, the country’s copper commission Cochilco said on Wednesday.
Production was down 16% at Codelco, while it jumped 6.3% at Escondida and rose 2.8% in Collahuasi.
