Colombia to set up reserve zones amid miners’ concerns
Designating certain areas as temporary reserve zones, will effectively restrict extraction and exploration in those areas, companies warn.
Chile’s mines minister Baldo Prokurica on Friday maintained the government’s 2019 copper price prediction of $3.05 per pound.
Prokurica told a press conference in Santiago he was holding the price outlook amid optimism around US-China trade talks taking place in Washington at present.
