Codelco copper production rises in September, Escondida dips
Chile's state-run copper giant increased production by 5.2.% year-on-year in September.
Three miners were killed in an explosion at the Gaisky ore mining and processing plant in Russia’s Orenburg region, Russian news agencies quoted the regional prosecutor’s office as saying on Saturday.
The office also said that the remaining 88 people were evacuated.
The Gaisky copper and zinc mine and mill complex, one of Russia’s largest copper mines, is owned by the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company holding. It is located at the far southern tip of the Ural mountains near Russia’s border with Kazakhstan.
