Antofagasta mines first to re-earn ‘Copper Mark’ certification
Its Centinela and Zaldívar copper mines became the world's first to be granted the endorsement under updated criteria.
Vale SA on Tuesday that it had finished decomissioning the Fernandinho dam, located in the Abóboras mine in the Vargem Grande complex, although it added that the work still needed to be approved by regulators.
Vale said the work is part of a program to decomission dams that used similar structures to the one in Brumadinho, a dam that burst in 2019 and killed over 200.
