Freeport Indonesia to process 400,000t of copper concentrate at new smelter
Earlier this month, Freeport obtained an export permit for the rest of the year from the government.
Canadian miner Teck Resources Ltd said on Saturday that members of a union representing 1,048 workers at its British Columbia mine have ratified a new five-year collective agreement.
The United Steelworkers have ratified a new collective agreement, replacing the one that expired on Sept. 30, 2021.
The Canadian mining company announced on Jan. 17 that a union at its Highland Valley Copper mine in British Columbia mine had agreed to hold a ratification vote on the mediators’ recommendation.
Earlier this month, the company said it had received a strike notice from the union at the mine, without providing any reasons behind the potential strike.
The United Steelworkers did not immediately return a Reuters request for comment.
