Ivanhoe’s Kipushi zinc mine in the DRC officially reopens
The restart marked exactly a century since the mine first went into production.
BHP Billiton is currently working on the expansion of the Escondida mine, located in Chile.
The expansion project is scheduled to be complete in 2015 and the company expects to produce 1.3 million tons of copper that year, representing 23% of copper production in the country.
